The Dalles economy is poised to get yet another shot in the arm with the recent sale of an iconic local hotel. The Shilo Inn, situated along one of the more spectacular views of the Columbia River and Dalles Dam, sold for $9.2 million. And major renovations are planned for the 112-room hotel built in 1974 near the Gulick Homestead and Indian Shaker Church.

May is Creative Beginnings Months so take some time to enjoy the creativity that surrounds us in the Columbia River Gorge, from nature’s handiwork in the form of abundantly beautiful native wildflowers (see our front page today), to the abundant talents of local artists and musicians, you can’t shake a stick without finding a painter, musician, poet or performer.
