Hood Shopping Center — Local services in Gresham

I have been using this shopping center every day as a child and I litterly cried when I found out that Chinese happiness is not in business anymore! They were an icon of Gresham and now they are going to tear it down 😭. But even right aid went out of business! Because of the homeless people aggressively panhandling!
