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”
Rich Wagner – Born 1959, grew up in Snowball Gate
