This sign appears on the door of Val Shively's Records. Great store! Located in the Philadelphia suburb of Upper Darby, Val and Chuck are two real collectors and found two of the now six records on my want list. By the way the sign is not a joke!
Rocky statue Philadelphia

The Rocky statue was originally at the top of the 72 steps leading to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The bronze statue, commissioned by Sylvester Stallone, is now at the bottom of the steps. Better placement for people of my generation.

NY Mets Citi Field

Wikipedia: "Citi Field has a capacity of 41,922. It has over 15,000 fewer seats than Shea Stadium. All the seats in the park are green – in an homage to the Polo Grounds, longtime home of the baseball Giants and the original home of the Mets – as opposed to Shea's orange, blue, red and green assortment.[27] The exterior facade is reminiscent of Ebbets Field (which was long sought by Mets owner Fred Wilpon, a Brooklyn native).

Citi Field is located in Flushing Meadows.in Queens. Like other venues in the NYC area you have to show identification to purchase a beer ... even if you're a retired person. Common sense doesn't exist everywhere.

Ebbets Field was the home of the legendary Brooklyn Dodgers. We searched for two hours but despite asking people of all ages, races and genders we couldn't find the marker. As a matter of fact not one person even heard of Ebbets Field!.

Chef Gordon Ram say's Pub and Grill at Caesar's Palace in Atlantic City. We didn't dine here because offensive language in public is frowned on by this poster. Not really when it involved an international television personality though. There are times when I'm shallow.

Although we didn't visit the eatery I am a fan. Somehow I don't think of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" in this establishment.

This pic makes the Boardwalk look more angular than reality but I still wouldn't want to run the marathon here.
