In January 1995, Frank and his roommates at
Mercyhurst College (Erie, PA) flipped over their
couch and to their surprise, found out it looked
quite much like a bar. They wanted this new bar to
be a drinking hole for anthropology students and
dubbed this bar "The Waltzing Australopithecene,"
but that was a stupid name....

the
Rusty
Trowel

was much, much sleeker and hardcore. They had a
winner, a hobby, a money maker, and a lover. (But
the police would have other ideas....)
The Rusty Trowel Shrine is under construction.
If you have memories, anecdotes, photos or
unresolved dry cleaning bills related to the
