"And in the words of one local historian, it hasn't been demolished, so much as entombed - walled over at one end of the food court on the other end of the ice rink - which gives me wild fantasies that it might still exist intact within a maze of tile and drywall, screening films only for a chosen select few who know the way in."

Oh my god I love that image.

There's lots of vintage theaters in Portland but I have a secret love in my heart for the six-screen theater down the road that feels exactly like the mall multiplex where I went to see movies in the 90s. I don't think the decor has been updated since then and it's perfect.
