On the former site of the Art Post Rambler car dealership, the small hapless Rax chain  set up shop at 711 W. Michigan Avenue in the early 80s.  First known nationally as Jax, then Rix, then Rax, the company fell into bankruptcy in the late 80s.There are still a few left in Ohio if, as the slogan said,  you "gotta get back to Rax."   The building, having undergone significant additions,  is now the "Up & Under" sports bar.  Note that the Bunca Car Wash was a Boron gas station at that time.
