Larry Hackman found a ‘Sunday Beer Stash’ behind the Garden
Tap. I think it was takeout only on Sundays–nuk nuk. I know my
grandad and Glen used to sneak a little booze out the back door on
Sundays. It was against the law in those days but they did a bit of it
anyway. They were usually at the bar on Sunday afternoons cleaning up
from Saturday night. I remember being there in the bowling alley one
Sunday around 1960 and the guys were bowling for cash–also illegal in
those days. Glen Johnson went to the pop machine and got a bottle of
7UP and then poured about half of it down the drain in the bathroom. I
was in the can at the time and he just grinned an laughed a little at
the way I was shocked at seeing someone pour a fresh bottle of pop down
the drain. He then went over into the bar and came back with his 7UP
bottle full again. I was puzzled at how the devil that could be?? The
guys were all real happy to be bowling, the way it looked to me! By the
time they finished several games, they were really happy! Funny how
that works. Here is a picture of Grandpa Henry Olson, Glen Johnson, and
Freddie Hiatt in the new Garden Tap about ’57. Thanks Gary!
