Iconic Bronze Fonz statue vanishes from Milwaukee’s riverfront: Here’s why<\/p>\n

Visit Milwaukee says the “Happy Days” character tribute is undergoing some TLC.<\/p>\n

\"Blake<\/a>MILWAUKEE \u2014<\/p>\n

Milwaukee’s iconic Bronze Fonz statue has disappeared, but only temporarily. <\/p>\n

Visit Milwaukee shared an update on the well-known Riverwalk staple Monday, July 13.<\/p>\n

“The Bronze Fonz is temporarily away for repairs and will return later this summer, ready to welcome visitors once again,” Visit Milwaukee shared online<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The iconic Milwaukee landmark pays homage to Arthur Fonzarelli, also known as “Fonzie,” from the popular 1950’s sitcom “Happy Days.”<\/p>\n

The 5′ 6″ bronze statue has had a home on Milwaukee’s RiverWalk just south of Wells Street since 2008. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iconic Bronze Fonz statue vanishes from Milwaukee’s riverfront: Here’s why Visit Milwaukee says the “Happy Days” character tribute…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761604,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[305925,228,226,227,146462,50175,15388,229,88,326018,326023,127626,326025,12650,326021,2976,326019,326022,7345,8263,26212,7050,21980,136582,98456,85277,26018,6808,15450,7157,326020,77351,326024],"class_list":["post-761603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arthur","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-bronze","tag-bronze-statue","tag-character","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-fonz","tag-fonzarelli","tag-gone","tag-happy-day","tag-happy-days","tag-homage","tag-home","tag-iconic-bronze-fonz-statue","tag-iconic-milwaukee-landmark","tag-july","tag-milwaukee","tag-missing","tag-movie","tag-river","tag-riverfront","tag-riverwalk","tag-sitcom","tag-statue","tag-tourism","tag-tribute","tag-update","tag-visit-milwaukee","tag-walk","tag-well-known-riverwalk-staple-monday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761603"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761603\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761604"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
