Home sweet..Mall??

To live in a mall. That’s the dream of every 15 year old girl. A few artists started to live that dream in secret in 2003. Unfortunately their mall housing was swiftly taken away when they walked into their humble abode recently to find Mall security.

These guys must be excellent pranksters.

They were able to live in a room since 2003 unnoticed by shoppers and security alike. They constructed a 750 sq. foot apartment our of red brick and attached a relatively non-descript maintenance door to the front. Inside they had electricity (fit with a Playstation 2) and all the amenities, except for running water. The water was easy enough to live with out, especially since they were attached to a mall filled with public restrooms.

Congrats guys, you have come up with one of the most inexpensive and creative ways to avoid paying rent.

You know, the interesting thing about that is that they all had homes to go to. I read their website about the project, and it was apparently some sort of social experiment. I have to agree, though, that no matter what your take on it is, you have to admit that it's pretty cool!
