This space and business was a creative force that help change the music scene and brought people together without judgment. The place was a melting pot for everyone no matter what age, race or sexual orientation. I think of it as the Motown of our time in Chicago.

Chicago is full of historic places-and only a couple that I have ever had the chance to visit. Make Wax Trax a historical site-to give me more reason to come to Chicago and spend my money!

This landmark meant everything to us as kids growing up in they supported our individuality gave us a safe place and helped forge the lives of so many . This site should be named a historical land site for all to enjoy and let it continue gapping the struggles of growth and learning we have In America .

We’re losing the character of this city. So important to preserve institutions like Wax Trax that touched multiple generations
