This is a very important place of Chicago music history. I've drawn a poster of a couple walking into the Wax Trax store in 2021. It needs to be saved. Thank you. John Gillespie

This marvelous place was an institution of higher listening. A generation and a half made it a must connect place where the community was amazing!

Essential upbringing for Wisconsin teens in the 80s. A cultural milestone in all sincerity.

Born and raised in the Chi and it wouldn't be the same nor as great without a landmark such as WAX TRAX in it.

Make it a landmark! I road-tripped from PA just to visit this store. It's one of my fondest memories of my first visit to Chicago.
