Wax Trax is of profound importance that in part shaped my younger teenage years with discoveries of local and international music. In the 80’s and 90’s, this store was a safe space for me and my friends while we explored the countless inventory of music, art, and conversations with like minded people. This store is a part of Chicago history that I fondly reminisce about to others.

This place was a treasure, and Chicago will be losing another important part of its history if we do not take action to preserve it.

Wax Trax has influenced generations of music lovers. The aesthetics, the culture, the energy put forth by this group of people changed my life! This building is the alpha vortex of a movement that persists today. It’s a cultural phenomenon and should be recognized as such!

Signing from The United Kingdom. Wax Trax's significance isn't just confined to Chicago. It tightly deserves its place as an official landmark along without the neighbouring Biograph Theatre. Lincoln Avenue is historically important

2449 Lincoln Ave is very much a landmark. The American contribution to a style of music that was still in it's infancy and is still VERY much listened to to this day was incubated in this building and it very much so needs to be recognized.

Please grant landmark status to the historic WaxTrax building that housed and formed the art and music culture that is unique to Chicago yet influential worldwide.

For contributions to not only Chicago, but the music world as a whole, the building that housed Wax Trax deserves landmark status.
