Leftovers: Frank Stallone To Make Appearance For Adoring Fans

• Sylvester Stallone has the power to overrule art lovers, defeat evil communists and, indeed, altering traffic patterns and PennDot work schedules for the dedication. And he was able to convince his brother Frank to put aside the other events in his busy schedule and come to the statue dedication! [Inky]

• Headline in the Courier-Post: “Racial slur reflects problem of bigotry.” Oh, really? [Courier-Post]

• Frank DiCiccio and Jim Kenney have set up a website to protest the city not being able to have any say in the zoning of slots parlors. Of course, you can’t edit the letter that they want you to send, because, you see, this is about Frank DiCiccio and Jim Kenney, not you worthless serfs. [KYW 1060]

‘Rocky Balboa’ spreading to new areas

You can’t throw a stone in this town right now without hitting somebody filming Rocky Balboa. Not only has Frank Stallone been spotted doing research at the library, but last night the crew was filming the movie on the 2100 block of Walnut Street.

I have no idea what, exactly, Rocky’s going to be doing up there. Maybe Rocky has a hedge fund and an apartment off Rittenhouse in this one. Or maybe the 60-year-old Rocky needs to goto Wonderland to buy a bong for his medical marijuana. I don’t know.

Either way, when I was walking down Walnut last night, I had only one thought: Oh, man, is this going to make the bar more crowded?
