It's between Fitz's (which at one time was The Lantern House) to the west and Brandt's (which recently closed) to the east. If I remember correctly, the address is 6555 Delmar.

Just down the street from Vintage Vinyl...
Yes, I did. Got there around 05:40 and took all the pictures from the original post.

Its long overdue. I'll be down from Peoria to check it out. Peace, Bomber
Why on earth would anyone want to protest this?
Well done Chuck (& CBII)!
My first reaction to CBII's post as well!
But maybe they had seen that awful green and yellow Brian Jones bust and feared it would look the same?
Congrats to CB & CBII - that's really great news.
No matter what you do, some idiot is going to want to protest it.
Congratulations, Chuck !!
Talk about your favorite band.

I can't believe it's actually happened. There were a few protesting it's installation BUT the majority ruled! This is about the best honor ever bestowed upon him. Here are some photo's I took this morning.

Cool pics! Where in STL is this, I don't recognize it. I used to live around the corner from the Loop several years ago and saw him play at Blueberry Hill.

Man, 2 minutes walk from our old place! Funny I didn't recognize it, it must have changed a lot then. We used to go to Fitz's.

The article mentions that Chuck's music ("Johnny B. Goode" ) was sent (as part of a message from Planet Earth )into outer space (on Voyager ) in 1977.
I remember an SNL Weekend Update bit where it was reported that aliens had responded to the message.
Their reply: "Send more Chuck Berry music!"
