The William Penn statue on top of City Hall is visible from all over the city, and is an impressive piece of sculpture. But viewed from one particular angle on the parkway, William doesn’t look dignified, he looks, well…excited. This particular picture was on the philly.com website tonight when I scooted by, and I was kinda amused that this is the one they chose to post.
