Many people ask about the rainbow goats painted on the walls outside of The Goat. They were painted in 1970 by Sachio Yamashita, known as Sachi. He appealed to Billy Goat Sianis “The top of Michigan Avenue is the most beautiful street in the world. But every day I walk down here with all this filth and all the pigeons and it is most depressing.” Billy made a deal with Sachi. Every day after Sachi and his helpers finish their work, beer and borgers are free! Unfortunately Billy Goat Sianis passed away on October 22, 1970 just days before the painting were complete.
