You voted. See if your favorite made it into the freshman class.
It's an impressive list. Frank Sinatra. Elvis Presley. The Beatles. And of course, Canonsburg's own Perry Como and Bobby Vinton. They are among the 14 pop acts selected by public vote for induction in America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame in the borough. Johnny Tillotson—an early ‘60s pop icon—revealed the first 14 inductees at a press conference Friday at the Canonsburg McDonald’s, home to a collection of Vinton and Como memorabilia. Those artists from Canonsburg—a borough of 8,900 people—have placed nearly 200 songs on the Billboard pop charts, Manager Terry Hazlett said. Inductees, who had to have a hit prior to 1970 to be considered, were selected from 40 nominees chosen on the breadth, depth and influence of their recordings. These, …

Violation of the ordinance could result in fines of $300 to $1,000 per violation.
Canonsburg Council this week approved an ordinance requiring an occupancy permit for all real estate transfers—including change in tenants—within the borough. "The key components of the ordinance are the right of the borough to inspect the building and a stipulation to name all adults and children who will be residing in the structure," according to borough Manager Terry Hazlett. "These ordinance components will determine whether the homes are single-family or multi-unit structures. A permit will also be required when any new tenant occupancy begins." The ordinance also stipulates that the building inspector/code official can deny occupancy if there are outstanding building code violations or building permits issued where no required …
The $650,000 line of credit will ensure there is no disruption to the borough building renovation.
Canonsburg Council this week decided to seek a $650,000 line of credit for its building renovation, which began earlier this month. The borough has already committed $650,000 to the project, which is being matched by a state grant.

Mark your calendars for this two-day festival that will feature bands, a classic car show and more.
Canonsburg Manager Terry Hazlett described an upcoming two-day festival as "an amalgamation of 'Hot Diggity Dog Days' and the former 'Doowopalooza' festival." Hazlett confirmed that the community will again be host to the Hot Diggity Dog Days—a festival that was created last year as a one-time event celebrating hometown crooner Perry Como's 100th birthday. But he said the event exceeded everyone’s expectations in terms of attendance, which caught the attention of America’s Pop Music Hall of Fame committee. The fund-raising event will include—in addition to oldies bands—a classic car show, food booths, crafts, a children’s area and attractions geared specifically to the 1950s and 1960s eras. The event will be held May 18 and 19. American …

The line of credit would cover the cost of renovations to the borough building until reimbursement is received from the state.
Canonsburg Council on Monday discussed measures to ensure there is no disruption to its $1.3 million renovation of the borough building—one that might require the governing body to take out a line of credit. The renovation began Monday and will both double the size of the police department and make all of the borough building’s restrooms compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Borough Manager Terry Hazlett said council would need to commit $23,164 of its 2013 local share allocation to pay its portion of a match to the $650,000 that is being provided through a state grant. Council will also have to approve a $650,000 line of credit to cover costs until reimbursement is received from the state. Hazlett, who is retiring April 30…

It seems to me that this is all a sham! In the voting Como and Vinton were always way behind yet they are being inducted! Sure you didn't bend to local pressure? And Brenda Lee? She wasn't even one of the nominees! You should have stuck to only those original nominees!! And the Beatles? I thought this was the AMERICAN pop music hall of fame not American and British Hall of Fame more ›
