Even though 13th and Wood is much better than it used to be, go there at 2am and it is downright evil. The big boxy, empty, abandoned warehouses, industrial optimism and post industrial decline. Stare at the skyline on acid and you'll have Philadelphia in your blood forever. I’d like the statue to be Jack Nance looking at a radiator across the street.

It would balance out the Benjamin Franklin squid sculpture that can be seen from 676. It should be pondrous and lumpen to pay 'omage to the Quaker statues that used to stand outside the Youth Study Center which will now be the will busting Barnes Museum.

I was thinking that if people don't want to get their picture taken in front of rocky and run up the steps to "gonna fly now" they could get there pic in from of jack and run down some alleys listening to industrial cacophany. many possibilities.... never said the rocky statue was dumb….far from it.

Maybe put it in alleyway looking out to the street or in front of a steam vent to give the illusion of that iconic shot in the movie where the eraser pieces are swirling behind him. That "dumb" Rocky statue brings in the tourists and Philly could use some more of that tourist money right now. Wonderful idea!

Not only is it true. but well-written. I wouldn't expect less from the likes of Juliet Wayne. There should be a statue of her someday, at 46th and Locust. Or better yet, in front of Bucca di Beppo.
