PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – The anticipation of "Creed II" hitting theaters has brought the "Rocky" nostalgia back to Philadelphia.

The film, which is being released on Wednesday, will reintroduce some of the original "Rocky" sites in Philadelphia.

Some of the "Rocky" and "Creed II" places to visit include:

• The Rocky Steps- Seventy-two treads lead Rocky buffs to the East Entrance of the esteemed Philadelphia Museum of Art.

• Laurel Hill Cemetery- The gravesite of Balboa's wife Adrian.
• Max Cheesesteaks- Creed and Bianca have date nights at the North Philadelphia cheesesteak landmark.
