Rocky Returns!

You can’t keep Rocky down. This statue, personally owned by Sylvester Stallone, was re-installed on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art last December for Rocky Fest. Expected to be taken down later that month, it was still there the last time I passed by a short time ago. The permanent Rocky statue near the bottom of the steps, is still there too, as is the Rocky Shop at the base of the steps.
