You probably missed Friday's edition of the Watertown Daily Times. I did, too. In it, though, was a photo of the Bronze Fonz, which will be placed at its Riverwalk location later this afternoon and unveiled tomorrow.

Artist Gerald Sawyer is a Watertown native, and reporter Steve Sharp talked to him about his creation and the artistic process of creating a television icon out of bronze.

Am I the only one that thinks that a Fonzie statue is cheesy? What is the real significants here? I for one would like to get a way from Milwaukee being know as the place where Happy Days and Laverne and Shirely took place. These shows werent even taped in Milwaukee. I'm not againts the statue but its just corny. Unfortunately fonzie with his thumbs up reminds me of John McCain every time he is on tv he gives a thumbs up with his old, shriveled up thumbs and that fake smile.
