The Round-Up and Happy Canyon—excellent conclusions to Pendleton’s “wild west” eras. Vic Kucera’s recent book, Rivoli, isn’t just about the evolution of theaters in Pendleton. The book also describes in detail the 40-year-long sway of the town’s two tenderloins, when saloons, brothels, and gambling reigned supreme—and the town was known as one of the most “open” cities in the Northwest. These will be explained with numerous photographs, maps, and stories when Vic joins us for a Terrific Tuesday at 6:00 p.m.
