‘ROCKY’ SHOP KO’D
A Philadelphia storefront featured prominently in the “Rocky” films has been demolished. The building was home to the fictional pet store where the Sylvester Stallone character courted his eventual wife, Adrian. It is featured in several of the movies and was a frequent stop on tours designed for “Rocky” fans. Tour Guide Ben Caplan tells Philly.com he was taking a group there Thursday when he found construction crews tearing the building down. The building, once a real pet shop, had been vacant for several years.
