| Crystal City proclaimed itself "World Spinach Capital" and paid tribute to Popeye by erecting a full-color statue of him in March 26, 1937. It stands in front of a city building behind the police station, originally a place of honor, but now not easily seen from the main part of town (especially at night). | |
