"Shotz" could have been written with PABST in mind, because
the PABST brewery is one of the oldest in Milwaukee-- and there
is also a Pabst family mansion in Milwaukee -- like on L&S they visited Nana Shotz at the Shotz Mansion.

Shirley:
"Laverne, haven't you ever wanted to see the inside of one them
big houses?"

also Pabst brewery is next to KNAPP St- where L&S were supposed to live down street from Pizza Bowl.

The Cunninghams probably lived in a nicer part of town- west Milwaukee. (although the house shown is really in LA near the Tar Pits)

Laverne: "hey Fonz, what brings ya to this side of the tracks?"

Milwaukee also has a real PFISTER Hotel which the L&S writers
mention many times, as well as other fake Pfister family businesses like french restaurant CHEZ PFISTER
and chinese restuarant PFISTER FONGS.

Mama's Family didn the same thing--
created fun plays on it's Raytown setting....
ie: Chez Ray, the Ray river etc
