This small neighborhood, established in the 1920s, has been known as "The Devil's Triangle" since the 1980s. The name came from the rough and rowdy bars located on the 600 and 700 blocks of N. Sheppard Street. Those bars are gone now - replaced by other establishments. The neighborhood is still active. New businesses keep opening up and other long time ones have continued. This site will try to document the history of this small but vibrant Richmond neighborhood.

Sheppard Street Pharmacy, 604 N. Sheppard St., Richmond, Va, Matchbook cover, 1930s
Came across this at a postcard show a few years ago - gave it to a friend who just gave it back along with some other items from the Sheppard Street Pharmacy which was located on the 600 block of N. Sheppard Street - near where Cafe Diem is today.
