Pop Shaw’s Garage – At
the turn of the century, the area known as High Third was originally located on
1st Street SW, south of Central Avenue. This area also the future
home of Harry’s Tire Service, known back then as Pop Shaw’s Garage. The garage was on the main
floor and the basement, There was a bowling alley on the second floor. The
third floor was a gambling den and after hours night club. The garage was next
to what is now Bremer Bank, and had an elevator. The bootlegger cars would
enter the garage and the owner would ride the elevator down to the basement
with the car full of booze. Rumor had it that he would booby trap the car in
case someone tried to steal the liquor, lock it up and walk back up via the
stairway. No one knew for sure as nobody was about to risk tripping the booby
trap. By the 50’s the top floor was converted to an apartment where the family
that the bowling alley lived.
