Dear Providence,

We have a giant mall in Downtown Worcester that will be there for some time. Please feel free to come set up shop there, nobody will bother you.

Sincerely,

Turtle Boy

The leader of an artists' cooperative has been sentenced to probation for illegally setting up a secret apartment inside the Providence Place Mall that was equipped with furniture and a video game system.

Michael Townsend, 36, said he and seven other artists built the apartment in a 750-square-foot loft in the parking garage four years ago and lived there for up to three weeks at a time while documenting mall life.
