Chuck Berry statue

7/1/11-Starting early Friday morning, workers using a massive crane lifted the new statue honoring St. Louis native and rock-n-roll legend Chuck Berry into place along the loop in University City. It's located just across the street from Blueberry Hill, where the 84-year-old musical legend still performs on a regular basis. Berry himself, along with family, friends and fans, will attend a dedication ceremony on July 29th. KMOX's Charlie Brennan and U. City icon Joe Edwards spearheaded the $100,000 campaign to fund the project. Incidentally, the dots on the wall behind the statue, visible in some of these photos, will light up and represent the musical notes in Berry's hit "Johnny B. Goode". (KMOX/Brett Blume)
