Hollywood to the rescue. But what if they don't want to be rescued? I'm Scott Ott with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green.

In this episode of Right Angle is brought to you by the members of Bill Whittle.com. And gentlemen,

there is a church building in New York called West Park Presbyterian Church that the congregation has kind of grown small over the years and has decided that they can no

And they have decided to sell it to a developer and use the proceeds.
