On the 1998 Smashing Pumpkins song “Ava Adore,” Billy Corgan sings this line: “In you, I crash cars.” People probably shouldn’t take that so literally. Famously, Corgan is the owner of Madame Zuzu’s, a tea shop in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. His street doesn’t look particularly dangerous, and it’s not like Madame Zuzu’s is right on a sharp curve in the road or something. But in the past six months, two different cars have crashed into Madame Zuzu’s.
