It was located in the Chicago Landmark Black Metropolis, Bronzeville district. The original owner was James Knight, however a woman by the name of Gerri Oliver purchased the Palm Tavern sometimes between 1951-1956. Originally she worked there as a waitress. Over the years they had many musicians and writers. Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, the Ink Spots, Josephine Baker, and other notable musicians. The famous poet and writer Gwendolyn Brooks, lived near by.This was a place to relax if you were in Chicago's black middle class.Miss Gerri Oliver ran this place till 2006. While it was open, she would chat with you and show you old pictures of all the famous people that came there. She died in 2020 at a 101 years old. The establishment was closed in 2006 and torn down almost immediately. Presently its an open lot.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
