I remember reading about a controversy a while back where the city and the Museum were fighting over who would absorb the cost of taking down and removing the statue. So I don't know if it is still there or not. I'll do some searching. [/b][/quote]Ok baby! I do a serch an I fine owe for chu abow dat Italiyan guys stachew mang! Here is wha I fine :
March 2004 "The original bronze statue of the fictional South Philadelphia fighter Rocky Balboa was intended to be installed at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Rocky bounded up 72 steps as moviegoers cheered. Museum officials and art aficionados nixed the idea and the 8 1/2-foot statue eventually came to rest at the South Philadelphia stadium complex."
