Popeye Statue Place » Outdoors 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). 24 views 💖 1 👍 0400 W Zavala St, Crystal City, TX 78839 |
