Episode Details

The Lloyd Center, Portland’s iconic 66-year-old mall, is shutting down August 8th — not just for retail, but as the emotional end of an era. From a nostalgic “Prom on Ice” to a silent disco food court walk, Lloyderpalooza vendor fair, funeral-themed bike ride, magic show, and final skate, the farewell is packed with quirky, heartfelt tributes. The beloved ice rink, a family tradition for nearly 60 years, will host its last skate at 6:45 PM. Despite pleas to save it, city council has approved demolition for a new mixed-use neighborhood — marking the loss of one of America’s first indoor ice rinks and a once-giant mall that shaped generations of Portlanders.
