View Full Version : looking for SP landmarks in Chicago frozengoat 03-06-2003, 06:47 PM Hi, I haven't posted here in a long while (if you remember me, hi), but yeah- I'm going to Chicago for a long weekend, and I want to try to see some of the places out there relevant to Pumpkins history... the Metro, Chicago Recording Company, etc. Does anybody have any suggestions (or even addresses) of other stuff out there that would be good to check out? Thanks in advance if anybody's got any ideas. hereisnowhy 03-06-2003, 07:21 PM Um... the baseball stadium? In one of the documentaries billy was pointing out the apartment where he wrote most of gish, I don't know if you could find it though. Someone must have the address for his old victorian house, too. Since you're not stalking I don't think it would be a problem to take a picture. Injektilo 03-06-2003, 08:54 PM The Metro is 37somethingsomething North Clarke St IIRC. its just up the street from wrigley field, up and accross. thats the only real place i can think of...

Milwaukee Ave. Avalon Niteclub: (doesn't exist anymore..but might be interesting to see) 959 W. Belmont Ave. parking garage (pumpkin's old practice space/where most of SD was written): 2848 N. Broadway As for his former house... it's supposed to be on Greenview ave. somewhere..at least that's what i've heard. n0mj121 03-07-2003, 05:23 PM Choobie: Stalkertastic!
