The Fonz In Waukesha?

By Steve Bukosky

Yeah! I like the idea.

It seems like a couple months ago that talk radio had discussion about the initial proposal to erect a bronze statue of "The Fonz" somewhere in downtown Milwaukee as a tourist attraction. I believe that some hoity toity (I'd rather use the adjective artsy ******) art elite threatened to move out of Milwaukee should that happen.  Gee, we're going to miss you guys!

Assuming that it becomes reality in Milwaukee, should Waukesha capitalize on it and erect a statue of The Fonz's visit to his cousins who fictionally lived in Waukesha? Yes! Only, it should be a bit more than a statue or two of the cousins. It should be one of the Fonz himself and it'd be better if it were him on his motorcycle chatting with his cousins.

I bet it would become a huge attraction for not only the many motorcyclists riding in the area to have their picture taken with it but also become a destination for riders who otherwise would never visit Waukesha. While the Fonz rode a Triumph, perhaps one of the cousins could be astride a Harley Sportster.  I tell you, the HOG clubs and motorcyclists in general would flock to it.

My first choice for location would be the roundabout in Frame Park.

What can you say but, "Heyeee"?
