Fodor's Expert Review Lloyd Center
Northeast Portland
On the MAX light-rail line, Lloyd Center has more than 170 shops (including Nordstrom, Sears, and Macy's), a food court, a multiscreen cinema, and an ice-skating pavilion. It's a fairly run-of-the-mill mall, and in a similarly bland neighborhood, but it is the largest centrally located shopping center in the city, and it began an extensive 18-month renovation in 2015, to add outdoor stores and to greatly upgrade the food court, common areas, and ice rink. The mall remains open during construction.
