1950s Socks
Description: Lee Triemert opened Lee's Liquor Lounge in Minneapolis in the late '50s, and ran it with his wife until he passed away in '76. Lou Sirian bought the bar in '77, but continued to call it Lee's, because Lou is the kind of guy who likes to keep things the way they are. That model seemed to work for Lou, as Lee's remained a mainstay of the city’s historically working-class North Loop neighborhood for decades. Housed in a 125-year-old former warehouse, Lee's was the go-to watering hole for blue collar employees for generations, but as the factories left, so did many of the customers. Lou brought in live music in the mid '80s, and this is when Lee's got its second wind as a music venue, with sort of a honky tonk dive bar vibe.

Description: Arthur Herbert Fonzarelli, better known as "Fonzie" or "The Fonz," is a fictional character in the American sitcom Happy Days that ran from 1974 until 1984. The Fonz was a stereotypical greaser who rode a motorcycle, wore a leather jacket, and typified the essence of cool, in contrast to his circle of friends. He was originally a secondary character but was soon positioned as a lead role when he began surpassing the other characters in popularity. Fonzie was seen by many as the epitome of coolness and was so popular, that in the second season producers considered renaming the show to "Fonzie's Happy Days." The Fonz is one of only two characters (along with Howard Cunningham) to appear in all 255 episodes of the series ten-year run.

Description: Gonna take you to a dive bar. The Tiki has had a greater influence on the modern art world than many realize. The 20th century saw a rise in American’s fascination with the Pacific Islands and their native culture. Images of the traditional life of native islanders captivated the residents of the Continental U.S. and brought about a desire to fill their mundane environment with some of the iconography of the islands. Post World War II returning GI’s brought back images of the Pacific Islands and the fascination with Tiki emerged. By the 1960s Tiki could be seen everywhere. It adorned buildings, restaurants, motels and all manner of advertising. Exports of authentic Tiki could not keep up with the demand.
