Helping a Pilsen Venue Through City Hall

Casa Cafe, a Pilsen venue for all-ages shows, is working toward its Public Place of Amusement license, and Byron set up its first meeting at City Hall to get the process underway.

Casa Cafe in Pilsen has put its all-ages hardcore shows on pause while it works toward a Public Place of Amusement license from the city.

Byron set the venue up with its first meeting at City Hall to get the process underway. A venue should not have to figure out City Hall alone, and neither should the places where our young people play music.

The record includes more than $7 million invested in local businesses. This is the same work up close: one venue, one meeting.
