The term “region rat” goes hand and hand with the term “mill rat” which has long been used to describe those busting their chops within our many factories, oil refineries, and steel mills of the Northwest Indiana region. King’s vision was fully brought to life in the early 1990’s when he sought the help of artist Dave Mantel…and the suspender wearing, cigar smoking/pint drinking (off duty), mill worker Region Rat has stood the test of time as an embodiment of Midwest grit ever since. A homage to our generations of hardworking industry workers: an iconic piece of region history.
