No way. That would be desecration of a sacred landmark.
ETA- to be clear, I mean the Boner 4Ever building is the sacred landmark. The Rizzo statue is a hulking piece of shit, just like Rizzo.
Every year it should just get moved to whatever street in South Philly has the most longtime Italian residents living on it. Keep the 88 year old Salvatores and 92 year old Francescas happy.
I worked for the city a long time. When he was mayor there more non white supervisors and managers in the departments I worked in than there were after College degrees were needed after him to āprofessionalizeā civil service. The minority supervisors and managers in the department I worked in at the later stages of career were college educated and most were not from Philadelphia. And there were a lot less percentage wise.
Wrong answer for location at the end of the tracks on the El in NE Philly to signal train to stop
The way people born before World War II talked would sound terrible today. Even Disney films from back then sound racist today. He was gruff speaking like most working class men from his time.
I met him at my job years after he was Mayor, he was at the prep for a politician's arrival. He did not demand anything and was quite polite. When he was Mayor the city experienced two recessions and high inflation periods. The sound bites sound terrible now.
Rizzo was hated by the press. One event he was vilified for was the strip search by PPD of Black Panthers He was not there and was not commission but was running for mayor. But the legend was cast.
I been a liberal Democrat since I could vote but I saw what I saw working in city hall. A police garage and another city facility. Green and Kenny were the worse mayors. Both absent empty suits.
Rizzo famously integrated the police. White cop & black cop in every car. But he gave away the store to unions. He handled the Move confrontation waaay better than Wilson Goode, his successor.
At the end of the day, he was polarizing. Perceptions matter.
He did a better job as police chief, in a Chicago/Daly kind of way.
FDR park to do tricks on and over.
LOL! I bet they could come up with some really fun and clever ways to incorporate every part of this thing. Great photo ops, too.
The legend spun by the press vilified him. Were you even alive when he was?
He spoke like someone born in 1915. But black people advanced in civil service under him
Even during his time reporters were writing about how police, under his lead, were beating suspects with lead pipes. He had numerous lawsuits, during his time, laid out against him.
I feel like there's this idea that people have only just started to be critical of the historical figures but humans have probably done it since the start of time. It's just that we hear about it more now because of social media.
One thing stands I was told by an old cop who was a rookie at the Columbia Ave riot 1964. He grabbed a black man and Rizzo called him by name and told him to let that man go. He is not doing anything but walking by. I think he could be considered racist by todayās standards. By 1964 standards he wanted to protect innocent people of all races
Knock Ben off of City Hall and stick Rizzo up there. Better yet, put him on top of the Comcast building.Ā
Should have hanged it as an effigy in Fairmont park on Juneteenth. Or smack in the middle of the Italian Market where he would be nice and safe.Ā
The options are countless.Ā
Into the Mayorās office. Not āin front of the buildingā, not āin the lobbyā, but right across from the Mayorās desk, where the visitorās chairs would normally be. Iām not completely unreasonable, so i leave it at the mayorās discretion whether the statue is facing toward or away from the desk
At the main entrance of the Wells Fargo

Thanks for that, he still was a racist POS though.
