Dan Bell- the Dead Malls video guy- Ted Talk

For any of you who are fans of Ted Talks or Dead Malls, this is worth your time.  On one hand, we have Dan, a filmmaker who lost his desire to film.  On the other hand, we have a weird and huge trend in the U.S., the "dead malls."  For those who don't know, dead malls are malls that have either closed and are in some state of deterioration, or malls that are struggling to stay alive with few stores left in them. 

As I mentioned in the last post, my walk through a dead mall a month ago got me really looking into the issue of America's retail shop collapse.  This is happening all over the country and the world.  Dan gives his impressions above.  I have just written a 24 page, self-published, funny zine about ways to use all that empty space in dead malls and abandoned buildings.  You can get a copy here:
