description for 1970 riveria
Anthony (Tony) Tursi (February 16, 1901 - April 22, 1989) was an Italian-American organized crime figure who ran nightclubs in San Juan, Puerto Rico during the 1950s and 1970's. Tursi was best known for owning "La Riviera", the most famous adult entertainment center in San Juan. A popular attraction for locals, expatriates and tourists, La Riveria was constantly being raided by the police. In the 1970s, societal changes marked the decline of his club. Tursi would say "I’m going broke because people are now getting for free what we used to charge for!" Tursi repeatedly rejected suggestions to turn La Riviera into a gay disco as he found the idea personally offensive. Mr. Tursi finally agreed to sell his nightclub to the government, which promptly demolished it.
