From 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 #Shopping
