This blog grew out of my "Down Da Road I Go Blog," which was originally to be about stuff I was interested in, music and what I was doing. There was so much history and Civil War entries, I spun two more off. Starting Jan. 1, 2012, I will be spinning a Naval blog off this one called "Running the Blockade."

While We're Removing Statues-- Part 1: Ones in Philadelphia That Must Come Down
From the October 26, 2017, Review, Philadelphia "Of All Things: Some statues that could be removed." Jim Smart.
Since the country is in the process of removing all things Confederate, once that is completed it will be necessary to look at all statues, everywhere. Should anyone find offense, it will also have to come down.
Mr. Smart went through various statues around Philadelphia taking a facetious look at ones that would have to be removed because of a possible offense to somebody. He gives the location as well.
** ADAM AND EVE-- Adam has a hole in his side where the Creator removed a rib to create Eve. Sexist
** ALL WARS MEMORIAL TO COLORED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS-- Segregated.
** TEEDUSCUNG-- Mid-18th century Indian leader who had a reputation for excessive drinking.
