What Happened To America's Architecture & Cities?

Episode 28 Special Guests: Owner & Founder of Hull Millwork and Hull Homes, Brent Hull & Author Jack Cashill.How much did America change after World War II? The short answer: a lot. For starters, we accelerated our standard of "cheap and fast" to the utmost degree in our architectural design and building. Mr. Hull comes on to share his passion for craftsmanship in architectural millwork, residential construction, and historic restoration as well as explain the history of how we got to the ugliness we see today. Turns out, Catholic university architecture schools are the only remaining hold out on beauty, and might be our only hope in the restoration of it. Then Mr. Cashill comes on to discuss his book, "Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight From America's Cities." We discuss how the urban ethnic Catholic parishes were the center of community for immigrants and how that was just never recreated in the suburbs. He also made the connection that while our cities were crumbling due to crime (the fallout of the sexual revolution in the black community), our Church also decided to reimagine itself.
