The lumpy Mr. Rogers statue is currently not on display. Two locals who were jogging nearby told me that it's being refurbished (Maybe it is being smoothed out?) They didn't know when it will return.
[signmanjoe, 08/06/2017]This neighborhood is closed because of safety issues. Still a cool location.

This statue was really cool, looking over the Ohio River into the city. It was amazing. I loved it.
[annette, 10/02/2014]Lumpy Mr. Rogers was given a cleaning earlier in 2014, which probably required a lot of hard work.
You can sit in his lap! And get over the "lumpy" appearance, the statue was sculpted by Mr. Rogers' favorite sculpture.

If a mud monster mated with The Thing from the Fantastic Four, this would be the result. The toothy grin is kind of creepy.
It's near the corner of North Shore Drive and Art Rooney Avenue, next to Heinz Field Stadium.
