Can Jackson Make a Comeback?
J
37:15Josh McManusGUEST
Well, I think it's, I think it's, I think it's interesting and worth noting, you know, so I was in Oxford this weekend, and as I, I, I do a lot of walking around wherever I'm in a city to try to learn that city.
J
37:27Josh McManusGUEST
And what I noticed is, in Oxford, like, people coming and going from the game, there was a whole lot of private jets, like, landing and taking off.
J
37:38Josh McManusGUEST
But for some reason, uh, uh, psychologically, those of, of money have, in some ways, I think, stepped out of investing, uh, heavily in downtown Jackson.
J
37:50Josh McManusGUEST
So you now have this gentleman from New Jersey, Kumar Bhavnasi, who's bought up, uh, i- uh, hundreds of thousands of real- of do- uh, uh, feet of real estate.
J
38:00Josh McManusGUEST
Um, and, and what does he know that, uh, a lifelong Mississippian doesn't know? I, I, I can't tell you.

Uh, only, uh, only architect to have, uh, received it, one of only three AIA gold medalists from the South.
J
20:29Josh McManusGUEST
Um, and his work at the Rural Studio was born out of his ethos that was that we were all better together.
J
20:35Josh McManusGUEST
And so he was working at Auburn University, but he went into Hale County, Alabama, um, which had long been one of the poorest counties in the nation, and said, uh, you know, "Architecture is typically something that is for the few, not for the many," and, um, started building houses not for, but with, um, the folks of Hale County.
J
20:57Josh McManusGUEST
Uh, and saw one of his students at that gathering, in fact, that, um, she now teaches the third-years to build those houses.
