The first sheriff, William Johnson, was busted for selling \u2018ardent spirits.\u2019 He had been \u2018reduced by an evil heart,\u2019 said the indictment. The first couple of decades were probably pretty rough, what with the constant flooding and muddy streets making all the citizens cranky . . . Later, in the 1940s and \u201950s, the city practically thrived on criminal activity. Speakeasies, brothels, and gambling dens popped up across the downtown area . . . Portland became known as quite the decadent town, even prompting Bobby Kennedy to wrangle up its main bad guys for a televised Racketeering Committee meeting in 1957. One senator said at the hearings, \u2018If I lived there, I would suggest they pull the flags down to half-mast in public shame.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>A lot of these places of \u2018shame\u2019 remain standing, and while many are occupied now by salons and offices, some of them are probably still home to gambling and stripping. (Portland does, after all, have more strip clubs per capita than any other city in America\u2014and yep, they take it&nbsp;<\/em>all<em>&nbsp;off here.) . . . Portland continues to update its own version of a contemporary utopian society as more and more people flock here. But even in utopia, crime and unrest are always bubbling right under the surface.<\/em>\"<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":14841,"template":"","format":[59],"meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"book-author":[407],"blockchain":[4],"book-genre":[],"narrator":[],"book-publisher":[227],"series":[],"class_list":["post-14837","book-dea","type-book-dea","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","book-author-kevin-sampsell-editor","blockchain-cardano","format-ebook","book-publisher-akashic-books-ltd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Portland Noir - Stuff.io<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Portland Noir.
