A bronze Mary Richards stands in the middle of Nicollet Mall, frozen in the moment she tosses her blue tam-o'-shanter into the air. This statue marks the spot where the opening credits of the Mary Tyler Moore Show filmed in nineteen seventy. While the show ended decades ago, the sculpture celebrates the character who moved to Minneapolis to build a life on her own terms. It captures the exact instant of her arrival, hat mid-air, with a wide smile fixed on her face.
