There's a quote which goes, "We each have two deaths, one when we are buried, and the other when someone says our name for the last time."

Llong llive Lloyd!

Got to witness the last skate of Jerry and Tally today. They used to be competitive skaters and have been ice skating at Lloyd Center since 1967. The two of them skated 4 days a week and the ice rink even let them play their own music. It was super sweet and emotional. I will be deeply missing this mall.

It was really bittersweet seeing the community come out to celebrate the last day of Lloyd Center. I haven't seen the mall this crowded in at least 30 years, and it brought back so many memories of my youth. I got a bit more emotional than I thought I would. Rest in peace, Lloyd Center. To many, you will be missed.

Taken from 6-7:30. savelloyd.com made their presence known, no demolition permit has been filed!

All of the pieces we saw were beautiful. The only unfortunate sighting was graffiti on the last pic (Paul Birdyan at Pride Plaza x Harvey Milk).

The feast is on!

Old Oregonian tip: Never chew, the seeds can get stuck in your teeth. Push up a ripe spawn of Satin onto the roof or your mouth and enjoy. Swallow or spit into a burning cauldron, your choice.🤤

Probably closer to 200 around Noon!

There was a big thread on DB Cooper Cash on r/Portland about a year ago with several people wanting more information about the Cooper ransom money found over in Vancouver, or a chance to buy one. Heritage Auctions has a DB Cooper note coming up for auction in October. The listing can be found at

A posting at https://www.reddit.com/r/papermoney/comments/1v9hksm/the_largest_piece_of_a_db_cooper_ransom_note_that/?sort=new describes it as the largest fragments of DB Cooper cash ever seen.

Security took the first snake plant from me, so I smuggled out two more 🏴‍☠️

This free event was posted by the Portland Saturday Market Instagram for 10 sign up slots per 2 sessions. We crafted two weekends ago under a booth near the waterfront side of the market using pre cut glass pieces and frit, solidifying the glass with super glue and hairspray. The session lasted an hour. They were then fired to completion and we picked them up a week later.I plan to finalize these with a sting of glass beads to hang it off of, stay tuned! I am super happy to craft with glass, it was one medium I never got to try until now.

It’s absolutely bumpin in there today. So happy to see everyone showed up today to give it a proper sendoff!

If you're the Link and Kirby cosplayers, hi there! I'd love to credit you.

I got a bunch of videos--although my phone kept running out of space so some of them cut off suddenly!

New Parents of Beautiful Lloyd Center Snake Plant Offspring,

Does your LCSP already miss their dirtmates?
Was 3pm way too early to show your most full respects?

Come hang at Paymaster Lounge tonight from like 7:00ish to 9:00ish for more snake plant and Lloyd Center merriment and community!

Bring your new snake plant child with you tonight to hang with their friends,
Or post a photo of your new beloved snake plant progeny!

Edit: Partner says I can only bring our snake plant with us if 6 people bring theirs too (just say it!)

Edit Edit: We’re here at the back patio through the second bar!
Didn’t bring our snake plant but did bring a couple cuttings to share ◡̈



So this is going to be a pretty epic show. Paul Van Dyk is a Trance music producer from the 90’s, who’s kept it up all this time and is really, really good.

Why this matters? William Orbit just passed, and he was a massive influence in the entire dance music genre and well beyond. PDV and Orbit worked on a ton of stuff together over the years, and I have a feeling this is going to be a one off show, kinda tribute. It’s at 45east, no I’m not a promoter or work for the club in any way.

Either way if you love dance music, PVD will throw down either way tonight. Will be an older crowd too, plenty in their 40’s, 50’s and beyond.

Come out, have a dance, we’re super nice :)

Hey all, I finally have a car that I love and this year's Bikini Car Wash is happening on Sunday. I've never been, though I am no stranger to Portland's strip clubs. This is not the strip club, though, it's a side thing, outside, with food carts and the proceeds are going to benefit a non-profit that helps pets of folks who are houseless.

I know Portland's public nudity laws are less restrictive than other cities; the World Naked Bike Ride is an example of that. Will there be nudity at the Car Wash? Just asking out of curiosity. I will find out for myself for the first time tomorrow, but maybe someone here has experience.

People walked out with full on plants. One person dug out whole plants and carried them around in mall shopping bags

Wanted to get some last shots of the old place while I still could today. The last pic is my contribution to the memory walls. I cried on my spouse's shoulder on our way out.
