>>Zappa Statue Coming To Baltimore
A sculpture honoring music legend and Baltimore native Frank Zappa is set to be errected in Fells Point in the next few months. The Baltimore Public Arts Commission plans to reveal the proposed location at a meeting tonight. The commission looked at several different locations for the statue, including the neighborhood were Zappa was born, before settling on Fells Point. The statue will look similar to the one that stands in Vilnius, Lithuania, where one of the largest Frank Zappa fan clubs resides. The statue consists of a bronze cylinder topped with Zappa's bust. The 50-thousand dollar statue was purchased by the group to be placed in Baltimore.

I bet that would have amused the daylights out of him. ;D Great to have the "hometown boy" recognized.
