Nice tribute Oliver. We loved “Norm” and his one liners. My wife and I also saw the pub when we were in Boston some years ago. Great show and cast.

Love this! A great tribute! Norm <3 …I remember walking from the Paul Revere house to Cheers. I ahd no idea how far it was. Afterwards, I was watching reruns of cheers and a person came in huffing and puffing, saying they just came from the Paul Revere house…I laughed so loud!
