Artist, poet, and musician Sergio Mayora joined the Chicago History Podcast to discuss details of his debut book, Weeds Tavern: Poster Art by Sergio Mayora. Speaking with host Tommy Henry, Mayora also shared how he became the host of the iconic bar.
Weeds Tavern: Poster Art by Sergio Mayora collects over 40 unique and vibrant collage posters that once adorned the phone booths and streetlamps of Chicago’s streets, and before the days of social media, attracted a loyal, diverse, and eclectic crowd to Weeds Tavern.
Featuring text by celebrated Chicago journalist Dave Hoekstra and a foreword by award-winning actor and Weeds patron Michael Shannon, this book is sure to delight both those who frequented Weeds and those who wish they could have been part of the magic.
