We have some of the most important history and culture in the entire county and people act like we should just give it up to the highest bidder.<br /><br />The only reason people don't like those steps is because it forces them to earn the right to enter the first art museum in the country. It's the same reason they don't like our historical sites.

While already exceptional, the 72 stone steps achieved worldwide prominence with the 1976 release of the film Rocky. Since then, visitors from all corners of the globe have come to run triumphantly up the ascent as Sylvester Stallone did in his Oscar-winning movie (and four of its sequels). In March 2014, Rocky was shown inside the museum for the first time."Harry Kyriakodishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15332293505785529378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907973584782999976.post-42231850028576854212014-07-23T00:40:48.692-04:002014-07-23T00:40:48.692-04:00Bravo, Wes, on a moving description of what the Ar...Bravo, Wes, on a moving description of what the Art Museum meant to this city during its darkest days, and why we should preserve its architectural integrity for the future. <br /><br />And thanks for the link to my Facebook page on the topic.
