Monument 1
Inscription
After his fourth re-election as mayor, 'Spanky' Rabinowitz threw an enormous gala in this meadow. Brightly colored tents dotted the grass, and the Paragon City Philharmonic turned out to play the event. It is rumored that such shady characters as Al Capone and Nathaniel Frost attended the event.
Location

Its coordinates are (-3680, 128, 1519), 47 ft due west of the Ithaca Island marker.
Monument 2
Inscription
Mayor 'Spanky' Rabinowitz was born on this very street, in 1878 to Aaron and Maria Rabinowitz. Those who knew the mayor well say that he often returned to this area when troubled, to walk the streets he grew up on and contemplate the city's future.
Location

Its coordinates are (-1147, 228, 5688), 118 yds due east of the New Corinth marker.
Monument 3
Inscription
In the 1920's, it was considered most unlucky not to have your ship christened by Mayor 'Spanky' Rabinowitz. His services were so greatly in demand that he was often to be found in the shipyard on a weekday afternoon, playing poker with the dock hands and awaiting the next opportunity to discharge his duties.
Location
This plaque is in Independence Port.
Its coordinates are (-1626, 5, 5252), 263 yds south by southeast of the Justice Quay marker.
Monument 4
Inscription
While Mayor 'Spanky' Rabinowitz was no paragon of virtue, it cannot be argued that Paragon City prospered under his guidance. Historians cannot account for this. Some have theorized that Spanky had some sort of mystical power on his side; it has even been theorized that he sold his soul to a demon in exchange for the city's well-being. After his death, a number of old relics were found in a secret compartment in his private office, including a map of Dark Astoria.
Location
This plaque is in Echo: Dark Astoria.
Its coordinates are (5218, 8, 129), 533 yds due north of the Romero Heights marker.
Monument 5
Inscription
Though the details remain unclear, it is rumored that Mayor 'Spanky' Rabinowitz often met with Nathaniel Frost here. Some historians have theorized that Frost paid Spanky to keep the police from investigating the Frost crime ring. Others have posited that Spanky paid Frost to keep the crime ring's activities from becoming violent. The real purpose of these visits may never be known.
Location

Monument 6
Inscription
Years after his death, many of the Mayor 'Spanky' Rabinowitz's secret dealings were still coming to light. Though his heirs have yet to piece together the entire picture, it seems that Spanky had money secretly invested in numerous businesses within Paragon City, including this factory. His heirs cannot quite account for the money's origin.

Its coordinates are (2090, 8, -6055), 352 yds west-southwest of the Coroman Manufacturing marker.
