Hi,

Go to this website and they have all the addresses of the Rocky landmarks including Rocky's apartment, The Art Museum, The Italian Market, and Mighty Mick's Gym.

I would avoid going to the Kensington area (gym, pet store, Rocky's apt).  The area is very run down now and crime-ridden.  

I definitely recommend going to the Italian Market!!!!  There is a shop on the corner called Triple Play Sports.  They do all embroidered shirts, hats, and jackets so you can get yourself an Italian Market shirt as memorabilia!!!

My dad used to work a job in the city cutting the electric off at abandoned buildings.  He cut the power off at Mighty Mick's Gym back in '96.  We were all mad at him for doing that!!!

I hope this info helps!!!
