More tasty memories: 84 closed Portland restaurants we wish were still around - oregonlive.com “In the 1980s and early ‘90s, this downtown food court was a popular lunch and dinner spot and was gathering place for young people on weekend. The 7,200-square-foot space opened in 1982, and featured various specialty restaurants selling burgers, hot dogs, pizza, pasta, desserts and coffee. For literary folks, it was a place to peruse the latest book from the Catbird Seat bookstore upstairs. Metro closed in 1996, and the space was converted in Columbia Sportswear Co.’s flagship store.”
