I'm somewhat baffled that Clackamas Town Center is thriving and Washington Square is thriving, but the Lloyd Center is nearly empty. Sad.

A lot of people have banned Portland from their lives.

Inner city crime

[@conniewojahn6445]

Interesting. Thanks for the take-a-long. Although I've never been interested in Lloyd Center Mall, I know people who are definitely fans and still go there regularly, mostly because of nostalgic reasons - they've always gone there. I hope people can continue to enjoy it.

When I was a kid we would come down from Tacoma and spend the weekend at the fancy new Sheraton (now Doubletree?) at Lloyd Center. The hotel and mall were very upscale and happening.

[@tjp2109]

I remember the funnest Saturdays shopping, eating, relaxing. It was so clean and safe. Everyone was happy. Those days are long gone. I went a few yrs back when the crime was first ramping up, and before it was widely known about the issue, and I remember walking into the Nordstrom entrance by the garage parking and feeling strangely unsafe. The vibes were so bad I immediately left and never went back.

In my state, Phoenix has a similar mall called Metrocenter where they fill the first Bill and Ted, but now they are demolishing the mall, it’s sad that malls are closing, all thanks to online shopping

[@conniewojahn6445]

Online shopping isn't the only killer of the Llyod Center Mall, and maybe your Metrocenter as well. I've lived in the Portland Metro area for sixty years and I can count the times I went to Llyod Center Mall on the fingers of one hand. Just wasn't interested in wasting my time shopping, nor did I care to battle traffic and crowds. I shopped/shop at outer city "mini" malls and larger stores like Fred Meyer, Walmart, and Target. Yes, I use online shopping, but nothing beats the experience of physical location shopping.

[@pad9x]

man i remember when i was there in 2008, the place was busy ! so sad to see it like this

[@klimber10001]

Whoever purchased this mall and grew it to this massive building did Portland a HUGE disservice. This mall was fabulous at Christmas time especially. The rink would have huge Christmas decor hanging over it, the ice would have a Christmas picture frozen in the center of the rink, holiday music playing families skating and it was beautiful. It was more than just going to the mall. It was an event. Was....😥

[@Azazel2024]

Lol the city of Portland did it one by becoming drug land

[@brinicole2999]

Wow, how crazy to see such a large part of it so empty. Long ago it would have been SO busy inside.

When Lloyd Center opened, my friend and I would bike to the mall (7 miles) and do all the things 11 year olds would do at the mall - run up the down escalator, get treats at the Nut House, get trinkets at Woolworths… if we had the money, we’d go skating. Great fun!!

[@Norah413-b1e]

I remember being surprised when I found out that Tonya Harding first started skating at the Lloyd center before she started skating at Clackamas Town center it was the Lloyd center that skating rink

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

I got both rinks confused..Clackamas had the big trees and is where the simpsons meet up was.

She didn't, he's wrong. Its ctc . She taught kids at LC. I KNOW BECAUSE my freind knew her from high school and she Really liked me . I ran for my life . Sorry Tanya. I hope you have a great life

[@dandydave1949]

Morning Mr Klearski, thank you for your update on Loydd Center! I am sure glad to see that there's still life there , and will make every effort to spend a bit of shopping time there for this gift giving season! Please everyone consider doing the same, taking the MAX or bus maay pollute less than ordering online and a airplane and/or semi truck bringing it to your door? Give it a thought, as I age I hate seeing historic Portland lost .

[@Azazel2024]

😂. People don't take max because its dangerous. And crappy. Do YOU use it?

[@Cat22275]

Met my husband there for a blind date almost 30 years ago!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

I think so too

Good Ole Llyold Center. I worked at Marshall's and Nordstrom their back in the day.

I have so many great memories of the Lloyd Center from childhood forward. Both of my parents, my husband, my niece and I all worked there at one tine in our lives. Thanks for taking us inside! I've been craving Joe Brown's!

[@AuntieSal75]

Hello, Klearski The Kreeper: My first time watching your channel. I really enjoyed this video of the shops that were still open. I'm going to make sure that I make a trip to visit the Lloyd Center Mall over the weekend, especially to get some goodies from Joe Brown's Caramel shop. I could go for some taffy apples and caramel corn. I'll make sure I come by at about 11:00 AM to enjoy some people-watching, too. Loved seeing the Christmas decorations on your video! Great job on your video, so I'll make sure to subscribe! Would love to visit with the Grinch! Sounds like fun! 😄

[@_A4A]

I go to Llyod Center once a month and it's only to get some food from the Chicken Connection upstairs in the food court (the owner & staff there have zero personality and are always grumpy so be prepared) but the food is really good so I go anyway and then I leave immediately after because there is nothing left to that mall anymore! 😞

[@primetimetomsgeekchat9707]

Good morning buddy! Poor Lloyd center. That caramel corn is good 😊up close Kreeper cam 😂on the MAX. The Frankenstein comic swap happens in October and i think March or something. They usually have it at the old H and M space. I heard they are going to have a fake synthetic snow rink at OMSI. You should check that out bud.

[@nathanjamesbaker]

I was recently in there on a Friday evening and could not believe how most of the stores were closed even though the mall was open. I assumed that some of the stores are only open during the day. But maybe most of the stores are completely closed down but the stores' facades and inventories haven't been removed.

[@jeanetteh.9240]

It's so sad. I worked at Lloyd Center M & F in the late 70's. The mall was brimming with shoppers. Christmas there was a magical time. When it was closed in to compete with Clackamas Town Center and Washington Square, it became a hangout for teens. Crime took over the area, and Nordstrom pulled out. That was the beginning of what you see there now.

Also be careful in in that park across the street that is a dangerous place to be I myself I always walk that between the hotel and the park park park park I think that entrance was not necessarily well thought out I just think that they knew they were going to lose Macy's and they had to have an entrance on that side and I remember going through that area one time apparently that was the kind of back way but they should have figured out some way of making an entrance through the old Myron and Frank's Macy's entrance because that was always the thing you had to go through Macy's to get into the store from the south

You mean the park south of Lloyd Center? I was once walking around there at nighttime and could not believe how many rats were scurrying around. There were rats everywhere.
