Pizza, rock 'n' roll, and buzzing nightlife were all scarce in Coeur d'Alene until Candace Conradi's grandmother opened the Rathskeller Inn on Sherman Avenue in 1961.
The venue was the first of its kind in the city, bringing Coeur d'Alene its first pizza joint, a gathering place for young adults and a stage for popular bands of the era, including Paul Revere and the Raiders and The Cascades. Conradi's new book, "Thirteen Twenty Four Sherman," chronicles the Rathskeller's history and the pioneering women in her family who ran it.
