It is a bit misleading when the article is titled "Weezer Is Playing the Damn Mall" only to click on the link and find out they are not actually playing at the mall. They are playing at Pioneer Courthouse Square, which would actually be a pretty good place to see Weezer.
The Microsoft store isn't in Pioneer Place mall, it's at the old Romano's Macaroni Grill location on the max line. This article is full of bad info, so you know it's a legit Mercury posting.
Maybe I am outing myself as completely lame, but I listened to Pinkerton several dozen times as a pre-teen on my Sony Walkman back in '96. I loved that damn album, but they've been terrible for many years now.
If you have been to downtown Portland in the last say, 6 months, you know *precisely* where the MS store is going in. The signs make it impossible to miss. Does the author even live here?
