Moore statue back on display

A statue of Mary Tyler Moore tossing her hat in the air is back at its familiar spot in downtown Minneapolis. A bronze statue of the Emmywinning star of The Mary Tyler Moore Show was returned Saturday to its original location at Nicollet Mall. The life-size statue, along with other public art, had been removed during a $50-million mall reconstruction project. After being temporarily in storage, the statue was set up in the city’s visitor information centre nearby. A hat was available for visitors to toss alongside the statue, which depicts Moore in the opening credits of her popular 1970s TV sitcom set in Minneapolis.
