Sumptin’…I don’t know what..is happening to the Sonotheque façade in the way of a renovation (anyone know?). I guess it was time for a facelift on the six-year-old West Town music lounge, but I hope they keep the old Casey’s Liquors sign still painted on the outside brick wall. I remember getting kegs from Casey’s back in my Racine/Lake loft-party days, and the sign brings back memories. Sometimes they’re facing alleys or are partly cut-off by building additions, but I love spotting these hidden signs from the past on brick walls around the city, anyone know of any other great ones?

Ah! That’s where Casey’s went! I must have looked for that place a dozen times, always ending up at Rothchild’s … which is another story.
