Why My Iowa Builds Such Ghastly Homes?
Jerry and Rae Forsythe tour a plain, stiffly arranged Iowa house on Central Avenue seeking a future home for Rae and Grant. Jerry mocks its boxy design as they discuss cost, location, and the bleak row of similar houses while Jerry envisions possible renovations and a future in a more curved, livable space. Rae weighs the offer, while Jerry imagines transforming the space into a personal project.
