Visited the nicely done Perry Como Statue, but it wasn't singing that day (Memorial Day 2016). Right smack in downtown Canonsburg.

That's two Perry Como sites for you in one day. Are you on a White Bread Walkabout?

Music playing from the municipal building makes it totally kitschy.

Perry Como Statue

The singing Perry Como statue was one of our "must-see" sights on a recent road trip from Chicago to West Virginia. The statue is fun and makes for a good photo op, but it doesn't sing... or should I say it "won't."

We went to the Village Hall to inquire about hearing it sing (particularly after reading a thank you plaque to those responsible for donating the sound system). We told them we'd gone off the beaten path just to see this, and asked about the singing. We were told, "The music used to play all the time. Now, not so much."

And that was that. Thankfully, the "Bobby Vinton Rock" that is tactfully displayed at the speaker of a nearby McDonald's drive-thru eased our pain... a little.

Stopped by the Perry Como Statue on our way to Meadowcroft Rock Shelter one day. It's in front if city hall. No Bobby Vinton statue, although he's from Canonsburg too (Kurt Angle the Olympic wrestler turned WWE wrestler too?!). Not much to do but take a picture.

Check out Sarris Candy, and there's a bunch of antique stores around town, including a great mid-century modern one downtown. I guess that's why they're trying to call it "The City of Antiques."
