In the 90s, this was a beacon of a life where I, as a homeless drifter, dwelt on the fringe and wished for more. It's certainly historical. Let it be.

Wax Trax is absolutely iconic and made a huge impact on me from a young age, even though I was thousands of miles away on the west coast. It is a vital piece of modern history that I hope continues to impact future generations.

This place is iconic and should be preserved as a historical landmark. The music and culture that came out of here changed the world. I don't think I'd want to live in a world where Wax Trax! didn't exist. Please save it.

As a former Chicago and someone who visited the store, this was not only part of my youth and upbringing, but my life as well.

Wax Trax is a staple of the alternative music community and it should be preserved for future generations to explore and understand music history.
