Yes, that is indeed a life-sized, bronze statue of Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzerelli, and a smiling Henry Winkler standing next to it. Genius. As if the city that brought us Miller Light and Harley Davidson hadn't already given us so much, a tribute statue was unveiled yesterday to commemorate the ten year run of "Happy Days." City officials even changed the proposed location a couple of times just to make sure future tourists would have enough room to take pictures with it. Seriously, they said that.
Listen, if we were the city of Milwaukee and we hadn't won a World Series since 1957, we'd take our claims to fame where we could get 'em too. And truly, the double-thumbs up is so life-like. We're not quite sure why they chose now to pay homage to the feel-good sitcom (given that the last episode aired in 1984), but we're not here to judge. We say, good for you Milwaukee! It's a great day for Wisconsin.
