Prairie Moon
That effort led to two new engrossing interests: In just one year, Rusch built a foot arched fence that spans the north perimeter of the site. Its precisely aligned conical posts were constructed with alternating bands of chiseled white rocks and pie-shaped red bricks, while the arches were molded with concrete over the iron wheels of old grain drills that had been cut in half and stretched.
Sometimes Rusch added color to the freshly mixed concrete; sometimes he painted the surfaces.

His powerful vision, tireless labor, and organic sense of rhythm, form, and color not only made such a feat possible, but also brought him wide acclaim. The conservation of sculptures required structural stabilization; surface repairs and cleaning; paint analysis including stereoscopic microscopy; and painting to re-establish the original palette.

Landscaping revived the garden environment. Now, the restaurant has moved into its new location at Chicago Ave. Following a soft open at the end of August, Prairie Moon celebrated its grand re-opening Sept. Owner Rob Strom said he and his team are developing an entirely new concept for the restaurant, which will most likely feature a seafood-based menu.

The type of cuisine is still the same, Strom said, but the restaurant will be incorporating new menu items on a weekly basis — which have been received well by customers so far. He said he hopes their new proximity to campus will lead more students to frequent Prairie Moon.
The kitchen is not the only upgrade in the new location. During the opening, he said he was happy with the feel of the new space — especially the expanded bar.
