Participants of the Brothels, Bar Rooms and Bandits went back in time Saturday night at the Pleasanton Senior Center.

The event featured card tables and performances recalling the days when Pleasanton's Main Street was lined with saloons and brothels.

Infamous characters also "showed up" during the night, including Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok, George and Phoebe Hearst and the city's founder, General Pleasonton.
