The Venderia: Portland's treasure-filled vending machines

Across Portland, there are 18 different glowing, hand-painted vending machines. Inside, there are no bags of Lay’s potato chips. You won’t find a single Snickers bar, either. The Venderia is a different breed of mechanical purveyor of goods. Owner Taylor Valdés stocks her machines with art, media and magic in bars, boutiques and even a hotel throughout the city.

    How fun! She came up with a fantastic idea. Maybe this will catch on in other places. Maybe have one pop up in different places all over the US and then expand to have one pop up in London. Then all of a sudden it appears in some small town half way across England. Just anywhere like those obelisks during 2020.
