Well, There's A Frank Rizzo Statue, So There's Precedent

Sometimes, and I say this as someone who lived for several years in the area, Philadelphia just out-Philadelphias itself. Take the movement to declare the home of the late mob boss Angelo Bruno an official city landmark, because... well, it's Philadelphia. Come on. Bruno, who was last seen getting his brains blown out in a hit in 1980, was a legendary figure in town, the "nice" boss as opposed to Little Nicky Scarfo, who came after him. I love that the article notes his last meal, chicken Sicilian and rigatoni marinara at the old Cous' Little Italy in South Philly. So Philly it hurts. (Philadelphia Daily News)
