Portland’s Lloyd Center has flipped the script on the classic “ghost mall” story. Where Macy’s and Nordstrom once stood empty, you’ll now find a pinball museum, magic shows, roller-skating lessons, and even a shop selling custom Star Wars lightsabers. Local small businesses and creative ventures are filling the space, thanks to rents as low as $1,000 a month. It’s become a quirky, community-driven hub—part startup incubator, part playground. Some say it’s the most Portland thing ever. What do you think: is this the future of malls, or just a fun detour before redevelopment? #Business #LocalBusiness #Portland
