Philly's love for Larry Fine is strong-is there any mural celebrating the city's other Stooge, Curly-Joe DeRita? So Fine fans were understandably disappointed this past April to find the Stooge's befuddled mug missing from the wall above Jons Bar & Grille-his birthplace at Third and South streets.

Larry was born to a Jewish family in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the corner of 3rd and South Streets. His father, Joseph Feinberg, and mother, Fanny Lieberman, owned a watch repair and jewelry shop. The building there is now a restaurant which is called "the birth place of Larry Fine" but is not actually where he was born. The upstairs houses a small Stooge museum. When Larry was a child, he burned his arm with some of his father's acid, which was used to test whether or not gold was real, mistaking it for a cool drink (The child had the bottle to his lips when the father noticed. In a panic, the father slapped the bottle from Larry's hand, splashing the child's forearm with acid).
