Artist returns to mall for first time since discovery of hidden apartment in 2007

One of the artists who created a hidden living space inside Providence Place returned to the mall for the first time since he was banned in 2007. Michael Townsend and seven friends maintained the apartment for four years before it was discovered by security. The story of their creation is told in the new documentary "Secret Mall Apartment." Townsend sat down with NBC 10's Molly Levine to talk about the meaning of the space and the movie. https://turnto10.com/news/local/secre... #secretapartment #rhodeisland #providenceplace #art #news #movie ----- NBC 10 WJAR is Southern New England's leading news station, covering news, politics, sports and weather in Rhode Island, Southeastern Massachusetts and Eastern Connecticut, including Providence, Central Falls, Cranston, East Providence, Newport, Pawtucket, Warwick, Woonsocket, Attleboro, Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton and Cape Cod, and surrounding communities.
