‘The Evergreen’: Portlanders are feeling nostalgic about the Lloyd Center mall as closure approaches

After 66 years, the Lloyd Center Mall is scheduled to close for good this summer.

We spend this episode looking back on the Lloyd Center’s storied history and hearing some of your memories of the mall.
