From 1968 to 2001, Fred Rogers filmed 912 episodes of his children’s television show, “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” in Pittsburgh, becoming one of the most beloved figures in American life.
His legacy is honored with an exaggerated sculpture of a tyrannosaurus rex, dressed in the quintessential Mister Rogers outfit: a cardigan and sneakers. The creature’s stubby arms hold replicas of King Friday and Henrietta Pussycat, two puppets from the show, and a red trolley runs along its back.
