Myrt’s Café opened at 6325 Minnetonka Blvd. at Dakota in St. Louis Park in 1957, catering to the teen-age trade. It was run by Mr. and Mrs. Truman Hedwall. It created some controversy as to whether the police were enforcing the law (re: drinking, smoking, curfew) evenhandedly. Myrt’s didn’t last long, and Beek’s Pizza opened in the building in May 1958.
