We just added this old postcard of The Palm Cafe on 125th Street to our archival collection and one can see what the historic music spot looked like back around 1950. This establishment was apparently considered a modern luxury at the time and one can see huge murals, a checkered floor, a long bar, well appointed booths and actual palm trees along the back walls. Jimi Hendrix apparently had his start here but somehow the establishment shuttered in the following decade or so and is mostly forgotten. The building still stands today and we have an exterior photo up in our past post:
