The Dalles City Council on Jan. 27 approved additional repair of the city’s Sorosis water reservoir to address issues discovered as contractors worked to clean and paint the interior of the three-million-gallon tank, located on the hill above Sorosis Park.

Completely gone is the notorious downtown bar, The Vault, and in its place, opening in mid-January, is the Last Stop Saloon, a midscale family-friendly restaurant and bar with soaring ceilings and original historic brickwork.
