You can find a lot of cool and hilarious things online but there is a place which is called “Not Fooling Anybody” where people post photos of buildings that have been turned into something else, yet still strongly looks like their former use.
There are abandoned malls all over America and someone told me they were going to turn some into residential complexes. I thought it was weird at first but I suppose it’s a good way to make use of a good building that is fit for use.
