Secret Mall Apartment: How an Artist Lived in a Mall for 4 Years Without Getting Caught

In this episode of the Compendium we explore the incredibly wholesome story of Michael Townsend, the artist who secretly lived in Mall for four years. After finding himself evicted from his home Michael and his team of Trummerkinds transformed an unused space in Providence Place Mall into a fully furnished home, complete with electricity and sofas and even a PlaySation all sourced from the mall itself.
