Como Octoberfest

For some people, October is a excuse to celebrate, drink beer and have fun….under the title of Octoberfest.  Honestly, I don’t know the history of Octoberfest and should probably look it up.  Maybe I’ll do that soon… or maybe not. 

I took this photo in the past at a local Octoberfest in the town of Canonsburg Pennsylvania.  Perry Como was born and lived in Canonsburg, so they have a statute of him in front of the City Hall.  He doesn’t normally have a hat, but apparently he got into the Octoberfest spirit for the festival.

Pat Perry's Mural

We found this outstanding mural during our Detroit urban exploration weekend.  I love how the artist didn’t paint the entire wall, just used portions and left some of brick exposed as part of the mural.  He even worked around the windows and used one within the lantern.  I’m not 100% sure, but I think he painted this as part of the Murals in the Market festival.  You can see more of his work here: http://patperry.net/
