Mary Tyler Moore Tosses Hat in Minneapolis, originally uploaded by Gary P. Smith.

No, not really. This landmark was created back when cable channel TV Land thought pop culture, posterity and self-promotion would be best served by sponsoring public statues of fictional TV characters. Iconic, hat-tossing Mary Richards is from the opening credits of the 1970s sitcom set in Minneapolis. Image by Gary P Smith, downtown Minneapolis in front of Macy's, July 19, 2012.
