  During WWII the community of Vanport was built next to Jantzen (note correct spelling) Beach park. In the Vanport flood of May 1948 all of the housing and the park were wiped out. In the years that followed the cleanup businesses began building and opening in the area.

    When and why did Janzen Beach change from rides and fun to a shopping 
    center?
