Apparently, others do too, because according to Marcy Skowronski, the 87-year-old owner of the establishment, the tradition has been going on from decades. The Holler House is famous enough to have <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Holler_House\">its own Wikipedia page<\/a>, and according to it, the bar&#8217;s bra collection exceeds 1000 pairs.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s even a quaint documentary-style video showing off some of the collection:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"616\" height=\"462\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/C3h2HIBg448#t=135\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\nAnyway, this fun tradition was temporarily impeded by a killjoy of a city inspector, who deemed the rainbow of padded breast support adorning the Holler House&#8217;s rafters was, indeed, a fire hazard and ordered the decorations to be removed. Naturally, the reaction to such an unhappy decision was swift. After getting rebuffed by her local city hall, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbs58.com\/news\/local-news\/Bra-ban-too-hot-for-city-hall-207816751.html\" >owner Skowronski changed tactics<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>so Skowronski did what any woman having trouble over bras would do&#8211; she called in more support.  Alderman Bob Donovan heard Skowronski&#8217;s plea, strapped in for a fight, and called the media.  Then under an increasing inferno of scrutiny, DNS decided that burning bras are a subject best left in the 1960&#8242;s.  Donovan repeated to us what DNS told him over the phone: &#8220;we looked into this, and we&#8217;re going to rescind the order.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Skowronski was thrilled to hear the news, and started planning a bra re-hanging party.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>So what started out as a potential downer will, in all likelihood, end up as a business boon for the establishment, thanks the owner&#8217;s wise decision to plan an event around the bras and their reintroduction to the Holler House&#8217;s rafters.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pintsandpins.com\/alley-photos\/holler-house-milwaukee\/\" >Lead image courtesy<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=1Ba6QkOJXfA:TnqOpIXcWDk:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/1Ba6QkOJXfA\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a tradition at a Milwaukee tavern\/two-lane bowling alley called the Holler House where first-time female patrons remove their bra, sign it, and hang them from the rafters, which sounds like something I would support wholeheartedly.
