About the Book
"There was an increasingly nasty stench in the Rose City and it was not just the sewers depositing their contents into the Willamette River"
This book takes a look at the history of vice and its associated causes and consequences in Portland, Oregon. Vice manifested itself as soon as Portland was born in the mid nineteenth century and continued through many interesting evolutions over the following years, As becomes apparent, the early twentieth century, second world war and post war years are extremely eye-opening times in the history of vice in the city. Acceptance and opposition ebbs and flows, clean-ups are undertaken, mayors come and go, but Portland's vice problem is never fully eradicated from the city.
