Smashing Pumpkins frontman opens tea store in Chicago
Billy Corgan, the frontman of alternative rock band Smashing Pumpkins, has opened a tea shop in Chicago. Located in Chicago's north shore suburbs, Madame ZuZu's is designed to serve as a social hub for the community, blending tea drinkers with music, photo galleries, art displays and speakers. Décor is inspired by the era of Parisian seductive burlesque, Cubism and hot Jazz. The teashop also boasts an upright piano from the 1930's that will enable local musicians and artists to share their talents with the community. Billy Corgan wants to the place to have no age boundaries and to attract everyone from young students to senior citizens.
