THIS is a huge part of Chicago history. Wax Trax was the go to location for alternative music. International landmark for the genre.

Wax Trax was a great place, It helped me find a home and friends even though I only visited when I came into Chicago.

Wax Trax wasn't only a record store, it was a mecca for people outside the city to gather and meet liked minded people. Please save this iconic store front and make it a Chicago landmark. The birthplace of Industrial Music!

This was a staple of my childhood. Me and my friends would drive into the city to shop here when I was young. I’d love to see it get the recognition it deserves as a landmark in the City of Chicago.
