Passyunk sign of ridiculous charm may be lost

Try walking down East Passyunk Avenue without noticing the King of Jeans sign: a two-story, shirtless Tony Manero bends down to kiss a South Philly Snow White with flowing hair, a bra top, hot pants, and heels. Like the figures on John Keats' Grecian urn, Tony and Snow are forever frozen in time. The time is the '80s, and the place is Pashunk.
