I would like to see at least one developer create a Gothic suburb with a fair share of Catholic art and architecture on display in the town square.

That would be interesting. I could just see current developers' ideas of gothic. Butresses made out of siding. Cast concrete statutes of saints. Landscaped town squares (must have sod). Common ground...oh, now there's a scary thought.

And then there's the little matter of getting people to buy and build the houses.

Aluminum-siding Gothic? Stained glass with Walt Disney characters? [irony] Or Elvis stained glass?

Maybe Sponge Bob for the kids.

LOL! Or...Britney Spears stained glass...Hillary Duff...Mary Kate and Ashley...Pamela Anderson...4-bedroom version of Hugh Hefner's manorial Playboy Mansion. With adjoining golf greens.

I'm quite seriously trying to picture a gothic master bath. Stained glass shower doors, inlaid marble tub, cast iron fixtures.

COuld revolutionize the industry.
