Historical NotesMug from the Artery/Planet Earth Café, a music venue, café, and art gallery on Ellsworth Avenue from 1990 to 1996. Although short-lived, it was a popular venue in the 1990s. The donor owned the venue and closed it after a fire. This also documents changes in Shadyside in the 1990s. Ellsworth still had many abandoned buildings and was very much still up and coming at that time.
