Made in the Shade
“I am so glad I
grew up in Levittown, PA in the Sixties
and Seventies. It really was “the most
perfectly planned community in America”.
It was a clean, safe environment with
lots of kids and lots of activities.
Nearly everyone
was on common social and economic
ground. Nobody was any “better” than
anybody else. We all had lots in common
to talk or argue about.
Also, the
layout and design of Levittown was kid
friendly, with parks, open spaces,
schools, pools, playgrounds and
recreational areas everywhere. And, they
were easy to get to without crossing
highways.
Growing up in
Levittown, there were always like fifty
kids around to get a game together. When
we got older there were plenty of cute
girls hanging out right in your
neighborhood. We had it made in the
shade”
