As a belated birthday gift, Billy Corgan’s partner, Chloe Mendel, reportedly bid on — and won — a 90-year-old “Chop Suey” sign that has hung outside of a Chicago Cantonese restaurant called Orange Garden since 1932. The restaurant is in Chicago’s North Center neighborhood, where Corgan grew up. “He always walked by the sign and thought it was so special and beautiful and cool,” Mendel, who purchased the sign at auction for $17,000, told Patch.
