Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road - S03E010 - Is this Pepper - A Story of Brutalism, Neglect and Educational Mayhem

Hey all! Welcome to another episode of Mr. P.'s Tales from the Road! In this edition, we head back to the City of Brotherly Love to find out about how the future once looked like to the eyes of those designing it in the 1970’s, via a controversial yet intriguing style of architecture called BRUTALISM. It’s not all dry history here; I promise the tale leads somewhere, as by the end, I’ll be telling tales of the best example of abandoned Brutalism I’ve ever had the opportunity explore and document; the infamous Pepper Middle School in Philadelphia, PA! Tales told and history abounds, so procure an icy cola of your choice, make yourself a cold-cut sandwich with some Swiss cheese on top, listen in and enjoy the show! Have a great weekend and we’ll see you in next week’s episode! -Mr. P.
