Free Event: Maxwell Street Blues

Transistor, the record (as in vinyl) store and more, is back on track in screening a music-related film. This documentary, Maxwell Street Blues, focuses on street musicians in this famous Chicago street/neighborhood. I remember passing through this area on my way to University of Illinois at Chicago, and probably on its last legs then. The smell of Chicago style sausage dogs, sock sellers, small fashion shops, all this has been cleaned up and cleared out since then. I don't recall seeing any musicians, probably they weren't out there in the early mornings when during my commute to school.
