This is awesome:
Michael Townsend and Adriana Yoto had a nicely decorated 750 square foot apartment in Providence, Rhode Island, for nearly four years. Until the Providence Place Mall security caught them – they made this secret apartment inside the shopping mall.
Their site is rendered in hilarious ‘real estate sales’ format.
“During the Christmas season of 2003 and 2004, radio ads for the Providence Place Mall featured an enthusiastic female voice talking about how great it would be if you (we) could live at the mall.”

I can’t tell you how much I love the idea of this guy (or these guys) making a secret hideout is a busy corporate space like this. It is very Lex Luthorish.
Apropos, there are also good stories of poor college students who live hours and hours away from school staying overnight in school libraries and other places on campus several days a week.
