The abandoned shopping mall: A hotbed of broken capitalist dreams, blooming graffiti artists, concrete-starved skaters and possibly rats. Short of razing them and turning them into parking lots for driverless cars, what the hell are we supposed to do with them?

Alongside Casey Neistat (you know the one) and 17 other creators, the brand converted Milwaukee’s Northridge Mall, abandoned since 2003, into a holiday haven for the kids of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.
