I have now come to the conclusion that as Germany--and the rest of Europe--re-built its cities, and re-built its churches, schools, neighborhoods, we in the good ol' US of A decided on the opposite course: demolishing our cities, and removing them ten, twenty, forty miles out into the suburbs/exurbs. Enormous amounts of monetary and human capital misspent and wasted on suburbanization. Not that Europe doesn't have suburbs, no. It's simply that they decided that their cities had value.samizdatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136582055438505991.post-1594775057710311152012-06-06T08:42:32.668-05:002012-06-06T08:42:32.668-05:00That church was incredible, wasn't it?

Just an empty lot and it's former school are all that's left. I wonder if St. Augustine and St. Liborious will meet the same fate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
