What's a quote from a film or tv show that's stuck with you over the years?

Laverne & Shirley skipped through my mind this week as I wrote about the Pepsi-Sign in Queens, NY. You can read more about that here: tinyurl.com/PepsiColaSign

Laverne & Shirley featured best gal pals navigating a slew of I Love Lucy-esque misadventures in the 1950s-1960s, except through the lens of single women. In my opinion, it's one of the funniest shows of all time and one that I treasure.

While Laverne & Shirley were intended to simply be one-off characters, Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams went so hard that they earned their own show.

Laverne & Shirley was a spin-off of the popular 1970s sitcom Happy Days, which starred the likes of Henry Winkler as the cooler than cool "Fonzie" and Ron Howard as the adorkable Richie Cunningham.

If you love old stuff…
If you find yourself drawn to all things vintage, mid-century, or retro…
