Larry Fine Mural

I once read that there are two kinds of people in the world. Those that love the Three Stooges, and those who can’t understand why the others do.
He was born on October 5, 1902 and was named Louis Feinberg. He became an entertainment immortal by the name of Larry Fine, and Wikipedia made me laugh when they described him as «being best known as the smartest member of… The Three Stooges.»
I was strolling around Philadelphia a few years ago, when my jaw dropped in amazement! On a brick wall over Jon’s Bar and Grill what did I see? How about a giant 17′ X 37′ mural of the great Larry Fine!
Turns out he was born in Philadelphia, and the city decided to honor him with a mural. A first mural was dedicated in 1999. The current mural, which show’s him playing his signature violin, was dedicated in 2006. The artist is David McShane.
So if you’re ever in Philadelphia, visit Jon’s Bar and Grill. If weather permits, have a seat on the patio, and raise a glass to someone that will still be making people laugh 500 years down the road.
