LOCAL INSTITUTIONS
Places that have been here a while
Sunlan Lighting
est. 1989
A lighting store as neighborhood landmark: thousands of bulbs, hand-drawn signage, and a shopkeeper’s cheer that predates the corridor’s revival by a full decade.
The ReBuilding Center
est. 1997
A nonprofit reuse warehouse where old-house parts get second lives: doors, tubs, trim, and the occasional treasure. For owners of century homes, it is half store, half archive.
Mississippi Pizza
est. 2001
Pizza up front, a small stage in back, and two decades of all-ages shows that taught half the neighborhood’s kids what live music sounds like.
Pistils Nursery
est. 2001
The corridor’s flagship plant shop, equal parts greenhouse and gallery, and a reliable reason the neighborhood’s porches look the way they do.
Mississippi Studios
est. 2003
A listening room built into a former church, now one of Portland’s best small venues, with the bar next door catching the spillover.
The Meadow
est. 2006
Salt, chocolate, bitters, and flowers: the original shop of a company that turned finishing salt into a Portland export, still on the avenue where it started.
