Description

Phunky Threads has designed a womens size Medium white vintage retro throwback t-Shirt.


As a local resident, tells the story: The creator of Happy Days used the Milky Way Frozen Custard drive-in building as the idea behind the exterior of Arnolds because, at the time, it was a real drive-in with carhops. But the interior was inspired by the Pig n Whistle because it looked more like a diner inside.


In the tv show, Richie, Potsie & their gang attend Jefferson High School in Milwaukee. It has been said that their school colors, light blue & white, were lifted from the nearest high school to The Milky Way at the time, Nicolet High School in Glendale.
