The fascinating Dead Malls Series. These shells of consumerism past, like the banking system, are somehow kept going until one day the demolition men arrive.

I have a few ideas for this mall. It can be turn into a hotel, office center, high tech manufacturing plant, private school (not common core). Or something that is cultural, with music, painting, writing, poetry etc. Or maybe a movie studio for independent film-makers.
Excellent idea, but you are assuming that real estate interests may actually have something CULTURAL in mind. In one of these videos a local church has bought the mall to use it as a community centre. Since malls are suburbia’s (now failed) attempt to replace “main street”, they could and should have a role.
