I love this idea. Nothing says "Milwaukee" like The Fonz.
Correction, nothing says "Milwaukee" like The Fonz, except for Laverne and Shirley.
Fonzie is a great start, but Milwaukee needs a variety of TV icons placed in bronze on it's streets and other prominent locations (in front of snobbish art galleries in the 3rd Ward, yes!). What a fun diversion for the six tourists that come to the city each year. And as a positive unintended consequence, we may help rid the city of dour, self important, no sense of humor residents, like these.
There were many great characters on Happy Days, I think the following also deserve their own statues.
- Richie Cunningham
- Howie & Marion Cunningham
- Potsie
- Ralph Malph
- Al and Arnold
- Lenny & Squiggy
- The Shark
Today Happy Days, tomorrow That 70's Show.
Mork.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, his first appearance was on Happy Days.
Not Donald Gramm, nor Liberace, nor....
ReplyDeleteNot even a statue of Mr. Harley, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Chalmers...
Yes. Yes. Yes... Any of these would beat the obscene guitar sculpture they are erecting in Waukesha.
ReplyDeleteI forgot about the Mork connection. Great addition.
