Amanda Carroll+FollowFrom Mall Rats to Apartment Cats?Remember hanging out at DeSoto Square Mall? Well, those days are gone—what used to be Bradenton’s go-to shopping spot is now making way for apartments, a dog park, and a pool with cabanas. The big shift? Old malls aren’t just dying—they’re being flipped into places to live, not shop. So next time you pass a half-empty mall, imagine it as your future home (with a cyber lounge instead of a food court). #RetailReboot #MallMakeover #RealEstateTrends #Shopping30Share
Anthony Cook+FollowRemember When Malls Were the Place to Be?Ever hung out at Laguna Hills Mall back in the day? That old-school shopping spot is now history—think less mall walking, more apartment living and farmers markets. The big shift: anchor stores like Sears and Macy’s are out, and the whole place is being rebuilt for a mix of homes, offices, and fun events. If you miss mall food courts, you’ll find fresh bread at the Friday farmers market instead. It’s a total flip from shopping spree central to community hangout! #RealEstateTrends #LocalLife #RetailReboot #LagunaHills #MoneyHacks #Shopping00Share
