Ayyyyyy! Fonzie Rates a Milwaukee Statue
And if it's constructed with the right kind of base, you can even sit on it, Malph. Visit Milwaukee, a nonprofit tourism commission, is leading an effort to raise $85,000 to get a life-size bronze statue made of Happy Days' iconic Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli character, to be located in the plaza near the Chase office tower. Thus far, the group has $45K toward its goal. "It's an honor," portrayer Henry Winkler tells the Journal Sentinel. "But it is so bizarre to think there should be a statue. I wasn't sure it was something that could happen to me."
Jenny Piccolo is already planning to do bad things to the statue at night.

Hey, if Minneapolis can have a statue of Mary Richards (Mary Tyler Moore), Milwaukee can have one of the Fonz. I live in Baltimore -- maybe we can get one of Pembleton, either him or McNulty.

I'm surprised that TV Land hasn't already done this--it would be more appropriate, in my opinion, than their putting a statue of Elvis in Honolulu.
