I went to Rusty's quite a few times when they had 25 cent burger night on Thursday (35 cents for a cheeseburger!)  You usually had to show up around 5 to get your order in before they ran out of burgers.  Smash about 6 of those tiny little baby burgers plus a basket of fries for another dollar and that was a pretty cheap meal.

best/only fond memory of Rusty's was after Wooly's Go Cats beat KU in Lawrencetucky, everyone kinda went to Rusty's, patio was lit, they were understaffed, so people were bringing in cases of beer from the liquor store, probably 50 or so people just chilling on the roof, Willie came down there, someone did the KSU thing across the street on top of O'Malley's?  fun stuff

I think there's another thread on here that might have all the ownership status answers, but I see this article from the end of 2015 saying Wilson had sold followed by one from summer 2016 in which he's still referenced as the owner. I'd been under the impression he hadn't been the owner this past year or so.

That may have been me. I jumped in a cat tracker type van with some older bros and we made a couple laps around aggieville. At one point they stopped in front of rusty's and i got on the roof of the van with some people and did the KSU chant.

see what I mean? they needed to get rid of that whole outback area and just focus on the front patio and being gross. think they would have been pretty successful.

They don't want people to be able to see e-ver-y-thing without having to be a patron at their bar.

I get the business model side of things, but away from making $, it's hard to get away with having a rape dungeon when it's in your front yard.

That was true like 15 years ago.

They started selling liquor a couple of years after that. It really didn't do much to improve the experience, imo.

After the 98 Nebraska game the fans ripped down the goal posts and carried them to aggieville where we put them on Rusty's roof.

I'm old and memory is foggy but was the Lou that place behind the convenience store that served underage and where the old AF bartender would get drunk and threaten to kick everyone out repeatedly?

@schreds help me out here.

Yes.  It was about the size of the Hay 7 restroom/shower.  The pickled eggs though!

Guys one time a frat bro was going to set the record for most Lou pickled eggs (record was 6).  He ate one, puked, and fell down.  Record safe.

Smelled/saw smoke as I rolled down Tuttle Creek Blvd on my way to work this morning. So I smelled some Dusty Bookshelves.

Anyways, that's my report on the fire.
