It's a good story there. Art snobs deciding what is art vs. Joe Public. I guess Joe Public wins. The line to take a photo with the nonart statue was deep. People walking up stairs...not so much. My thoughts. Put Rocky back up at top and half the people would pay to go inside...for at least the AC.
Statue of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation was next. Lincoln is believed to be left handed...oops on the part of sculptor. Whatever on the small details like the quill in wrong hand. Looks like him! The historical trolley that still runs.
During the bus tour, the guide would talk constantly, and interject "Watch your head."...the tree branch bitch slaps were many! The time he said, "Really folks DUCK as we go under the trolley lines. They are hot." Wait . What did he say? I could have reached up and grabbed them...and I did duck down!
Passenger train. Schuylkill River, means 'hidden river' in Dutch. And Philadelphia traffic! The reason we took the ferry everyday!
