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.

Devil's Triangle Image from Boulevarizen web site.
A great image of the Devil's Triangle - found on the Boulevardizen site. It extends the Triangle a little further than I think the neighborhood's boundaries are but it makes for a good triangle.
I remember the Rainbow Inn. I was there one night and a guy called Stroker Bevel pulled my shirt up. I decked him. Needless to say, I was quite young and female - had no business being there other than self indulgence. It was nothing but high times - complicated times - interesting at times and something to look back on for a now conservative democrat living back in Texas!
