Polish Bar Chicago 21
The Smashing Pumpkins played their first show on July 9, 1988 in the now closed Polish Bar 21 in Chicago.
According to this chapter it was located in Portage Park on the northwest side of Chicago. Source: https://www.amazon.com/Portage-Image.../dp/0738552291 Should be cool to see how this place looks now on Google streetview. Does anyone know where it was located exactly? And shouldn't they have played their last show in 2000 there, instead of the Metro? |

Not sure why I just did an hour-long search for the place, but I came up with nada. I was looking through liquor license records and shit, man. What the fuck did I do that for. The couple hits I got on a few name variations were nowhere near Prospect Park. Fuck.
Anyway here's the book's author; ask him. I'm done. And I'm blaming you for me, like... why did I do that. Because of you. |

So I just...
I just needed to type "Chicago 21 Club" into Google Maps? Is that what you're fucking telling me? I didn't need to track down a 300MB Excel file of every business license in Chicago? What are you going to do to make this up to me, Beta? Because this is clearly someone's fault and it absofuckinglutely isn't mine |

Anyone ever been to the Dunkin Donuts (Punkin) on Belmont & Clark back in the day? I see it's a CVS now.

What a nice place of Pumpkins history. Would be great for another Madame ZuZu's tea bar with its outside look like fermented tea leaves. Back to the roots, Billy!

Unfortunately on my last night at the L&L, the bartender told me it was urban legend. She couldn't find any info about Dahmer or Gacy at L&L. Great place! I talked about SP to some of the locals. They remembered who they were, for sure...! God, this MCIS sequel is gonna be depressing... |
