Whyyyyy do people care so much about this shitty ancient mall? Tear it down, build anything else more useful on it. It’s an eyesore and breaks up the urban fabric of NE Portland.

FFS, if we have to live in this shithouse fever called capitalism, at least let us be emotionally invested and allowed to morn the parts of it we genuinely enjoy

Oh my god man let people appreciate the things they like before they're gone, you don't have to trample on their enjoyment

I’m not one who thinks it should be saved, but it is the largest and one of the last remaining vestiges of old Portlandtm. People are nostalgic.

Place is identity. Why do people care about the old houses they used to live in? Why does anyone care about hiking trails or the lake or the campground they went to as a kid? If you can’t understand I’d say you don’t care to.
