    We’ve seen some comments asking if this video was sponsored by Netflix or Stranger Things. It was not! We were inspired by the upcoming release to do a video about dead malls — and so we talked about the show in the video. WIRED will ALWAYS indicate when any of our videos have been sponsored — both in an onscreen title card as well as in our description box. Thanks for all your feedback!

    There’s this great video about a dead mall that got turned into a residential space for single individuals with small rooms. It was such a great idea.

    Too expensive, that’s why.

    The mall I grew up going to was bulldozed and the land is being redesigned as a police station. Memphis needs it.

    Oh wow, I didn’t expect to see ACC Highland there. 8:19

    Funny, when I was in high school that was the mall I’d skip school at, ironically, it’s now the college I attend go figure.

    Starcourt is Gwinnett Mall in Gwinnett GA. It had a dead woman in one of the food court stalls for 2 weeks during 2017 Christmas. The mall is still open but like most malls, there’s little to know business.
