Alleged thieves from the Portland area are accused of wrecking a stolen Toyota minivan east of The Dalles on Saturday, Dec. 6, after the vehicle was reported missing from the Salvation Army in Happy Valley.

It’s been a good couple of days in The Dalles. And we’ve got the photos to prove it. Take a look at some of the people, teams and strong ethics that are making this place a fun and exciting place to live. And this is just the stuff we know about!

Another move downtown has the commercial district shaking. The Salvation Army is headed east to a leased building on Second Street and their old digs are up for sale for $1.65 million. The 0.29-acre lot with 24,000 square feet of building space and 10,000 square feet of parking provides a lot of potential to a would-be investor. Housing, restaurants, food carts? Who knows. Time will tell.
