Pilsen's shining star specializing in vintage everything is getting a little fance-in-the-pants. As you read this, Comet Vintage on 18th Street is blasting the tunes, rolling-on a fresh coat of paint, adding art nouveau detailing and installing opulent chandeliers over even more merchandise racks. In addition to these hardwired chandeliers, Comet will sell vintage chandeliers moving forward. Why? Because it's springtime. That's why. [Facebook]
