Thank you, Eugene Robinson, for talking about the other "real Americans"

93. Guess what?

There have been various names for where they eventually located it. It is currently in the "Liberty Bell Center" that was built after they moved it from the plexiglass "Liberty Bell Pavilion", where it had been moved to at midnight New Years eve 1976 in the sleet, after which it cracked, requiring a $90,000 repair (which I remember well - Rizzo was mayor and they were able to get metal from the original British foundry to do the repair ).

It had been moved to that when it was taken out of Independence Hall because there was not enough room for tourists to get in there to see it, along with too much touching of it, so it would be easier to rope off in its own building.
