Mall 202 is a mall in name only. There are a couple of these "mall" buildings in Hood River - a weird little indoor hallway with a few businesses branching off of it. This one is home to the more prominent frontage businesses (The Pines 1852 and the like) while there are some interesting spots buried in back, including a head shop, a chocolatier, a vintage/antique store and a few others. There are restrooms in the back (you need a key from a merchant) and that's really it.
I think this is a stretch for definition of the word "mall" but that said, it's good to know that there are some businesses hidden back in here - there's more than just what you see from the street. There's nothing too surprising here, but it's worth taking a walk to the back just to poke around and see what some of these more hidden shops have to offer. read more
