Reseña del libro "Building Portland's Memorial Coliseum: A Mid-Century Political Firestorm (en Inglés)"

The arena that pitted the east side against the west side. Portland, Oregon in the 1950s was a city at a crossroads. Would it retain the status quo of the first half of the twentieth century or rush headlong into the future?Pitting east side upstarts against downtown traditionalists, the battle over where to build the Memorial Coliseum was at times exciting, controversial, and long-winded. Three very different locations set off a storm of subterfuge and political posturing that included the indictment of a commissioner originally tasked with choosing the site, and the rise of an east side used car dealer determined to prevent the city from building the arena downtown.With the future of sports and recreation in the Rose City at stake, city leaders and private citizens sparred in public hearings and Portland's first ever televised debates.Author Michael A. Orr provides a behind-the-scenes look at the drama and machinations in the battle to build Portland a space for future generations.
