I live across the street and I love how much joy people get out of posing next to Rocky. One of the reasons the PMA couldn’t stand it was it never brought people in to the museum. I guess they solved that for the top 2% of the country who enjoy Rocky.

I can’t believe how much love that statue gets. It’s very rare to pass it and not see people gathered around it for photos.

I am reveling in this as much as you are. It’s hard for me to drive past the shit storm of tourists pointing at the statue. Alas, the museum is much more enjoyable without the tourists making ridiculous attempts at sounding smart.

“You see this here, honey? I think this one is really famous! It’s by that guy Mo-nett.”
