Broadway mainstay mechanic re-tires: Greg Mace rolls into retirement after 49 years, Adirondack Tire building to be site of Saranac Lofts apartments
. . . Adirondack Tire had been open since the 1920s. Mace's dad bought the shop in 1969. Greg was 15 at the time. But in 1973, his father was in a car crash, and spent years in recovery. Mace was going to college for an accounting degree, but started running his father's business and in 1987 officially took over the business.
. . . Now at 68 years old, he's ready to hang up his tire machines.
. . . The tire shop itself burned twice -- once in an electric fire, and another caused by kids burning tires out back.
