I'd come up from Hyde Park whenever I could and find stuff you couldn't find anywhere else.

Wax Trax was more than a record store. It was a cultural center, a meeting place, and baseline inspiration for anyone involved in the music scene at the time. It is iconic, and integral to community history. It needs to be a landmark!

As an avid lp collector I spent a lot of $$ here. They had all the current and obscure lps.

The cultural importance of Wax Trax as an institution cannot be overstated, and Chicago should be very proud of that heritage.

This building is legendary and should have landmark status so it is preserved forever! Thank you for championing this important effort!

I use to sell t shirts I painted, lived down the street at 500 west Fullerton. I would be checking the new releases bin just by the front door. Spent tons of cash searching the imports.

This landmark put Chicago on the international map. Industrial Music was born here and should be recognized along with other great Chicago music movements.

Used to go to Wax Trax anytime I was in the city. The building deserves to be preserved.
