The Onion says Milwaukee removed Bronze Fonz in a break with city's 'greaser past'

Henry Winkler's response to satirical 'news' story: 'Can they drop it off at my house?'

This might be a Fonz too far.

"Milwaukee Removes Fonzie Statue Amid Reckoning With Greaser Past," The Onion "reported" in a story posted July 11.

"Calling the effort a long overdue attempt to address the city’s checkered history, Milwaukee officials announced Friday that they had removed the iconic riverfront Fonzie statue amid an ongoing reckoning with the town’s greaser past," the satirical news site wrote.

An accompanying photo illustration showed the Bronze Fonz statue being hoisted off its pedestal on the RiverWalk in downtown Milwaukee.

“In the year 2025, no one should be celebrating the dark era in this city when motorcycles, leather jackets, and necking dominated our streets,” The Onion (fictitiously) quoted Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson as saying at the site of the statue on Milwaukee's RiverWalk. "… We should be condemning Arthur Fonzarelli for repeatedly urging Ralph Malph and Potsie to ‘sit on it’ — not preserving him in bronze."

The Bronze Fonz — which recently ranked at No. 105 in a list of "hidden-gem" landmarks according to Rivers Art, a fine-art print provider — of course hasn't been removed. Installed on the RiverWalk in 2008, the statue quickly became a popular downtown spot, both for tourists and locals.

The Fonz, aka Arthur Fonzarelli, had been a central character on "Happy Days," the hit 1970s and '80s TV sitcom set in Milwaukee. Although at one time the city had had an ambivalent relationship with the show and its popular spinoff, "Laverne & Shirley," Milwaukeeans mostly embraced the Fonz, and the statue has become a city staple.

When the Bronze Fonz was installed in August 2008, many from the casts of "Happy Days" and "Laverne & Shirley" came to Milwaukee for the occasion, which included a parade and an appearance at what was then Miller Park. Among them: the man of the hour, Henry Winkler, who played the iconic Fonz.

If the Bronze Fonz ever was removed from its Milwaukee perch, someone has already laid claim to it.

"CAN They drop it off at my house ??" Winkler posted on X July 11. "And Hey ..The Fonz was a greaser with a heart."

Fan responses to Winkler's tweet sparked a veritable standup routine of back-and-forths with the beloved actor.

"Can that statue jump over sharks?" one poster (x.com/marc_cavalera) wrote to Winkler, a reference to the Fonz's goofiest moment on "Happy Days." "If I did … it did," Winkler replied.

Bronze Fonz on Milwaukee's RiverWalk; where is it?

From Fox6Now:

MILWAUKEE - Milwaukee's "Bronze Fonz" statue is missing from its post on the RiverWalk, but as it turns out, there's no reason to hit the jukebox.

A concerned FOX6 News viewer reached out Tuesday, Feb. 1 after noticing the bronze statue of the "Happy Days" star was missing from its position along the Milwaukee River – just south of Wells Street. FOX6 News placed a few phone calls, and our friends at VISIT Milwaukee say the statue was removed from its spot on Tuesday morning for maintenance by Vanguard Sculpture Services.

On her lunch-break stroll to a nearby gym, Paula Lee couldn't help but notice.

"I usually walk the RiverWalk, either side of the river," said Lee.

Her favorite stop on the RiverWalk was gone.

"Some people thought he might have been thrown into the river, and everybody was like, 'What happened to the Fonz?!'" said Lee.

She posted her curious concern to Facebook, in search of answers.

Just south of Wells Street, even visitors like Anthony Ortega, in town from Houston, were puzzled.

"It's my first time here. I didn't know exactly where to start. I kept looking at my phone, looking at my phone and I know for a fact I was in the right place, but come to find out, I see this empty square and I was like, 'Well, I'm guessing he should be here,'" said Ortega.

"The Bronze Fonz had a really rough week, so he decided to hop on his motorcycle and he went over to Leon's to get some burgers and some frozen custard," said Lindsey McKee, VISIT Milwaukee.

Or…something like that. Winters are tough for Milwaukee's Bronze Fonz, too.

"We want to make sure, as we get into the spring and summer months, we want to make sure he's looking good and is camera-ready," said McKee.

A sculpture repair shop is performing some routine maintenance on the Bronze Fonz. In the meantime, FOX6's Gino Salomone tweeted he'd step in to help, to which Henry Winkler replied, "Thank you -- you can always count on Gino."

So the good news -- the Bronze Fonz was not stolen. McKee says the Bronze Fonz should be back in two weeks or less with a bit more shine, a fresh coat of paint and his two thumbs up for happy days ahead.

For the record, the Bronze Fonz was erected in 2008 – and gives a thumbs up to Arthur Fonzarelli or "Fonzie" of "Happy Days" fame. Actor Henry Winkler portrayed the Fonz – and the statue shows off his trademark leather jacket, t-shirt, and blue jeans.

The Bronze Fonz is arguably one of the most popular places for visitors to take selfies in Milwaukee.
