Levittown: Quintessential 1950s Suburbia 

David, did you ever complete this documentary?...is it available for viewing anywhere?...this was a wonderful appetizer, but I'd love the main dish!...thanks...

Inkey...you are exactly right...and those striped shirts were known as "polo shirts"...(about 50+years before Ralph Lipshutz-Lauren used the brand name polo for his clothing line)...and I wore many of those shirts over the years as a youngster!

My brother had the same shirt. 😊

I have never been to Levittown Pennsylvania. All those interviews that say Levittown are Levittown New York. David Hoffman filmmaker

I grew up in a new Levitt home in the 50's in Levittown on Long Island. Many great memories.

It feels like another lifetime now.

Dear Future4you - Your parents are correct. As I point out in my series, actually over and over again, about one third of the 80+ million baby boomer generation lived the “60s” as described by me and others. I explored in the series of those who did and those who didn't. Thank you for your comment. David Hoffman-filmmaker

Stop looking for attention

That is the parent's fault. Why the fuck is a dad buying his 16 year old a Lexus???? The way they raised those children, this is how they behave when they grow up.

Here's the thing, *every* generation complains about the next one. Some people just never handle aging well and they get bitter about young people and how things are different today. And there's always a young person who'll try to impress older folks and say they defy their own generation. In reality, they're just creating a negative stereotype of other folks their age so that they look better by comparison. I'm glad this clip highlights how people were critical about Baby Boomers at the time. Being nostalgic can be good but it's never an accurate picture of how things really were back then. I'd also say Levittown has a known history of racism. Even Long Island today is the most racially segregated place in America. That offends peoples' sense of nostalgia. But it's an important thing to acknowledge.

Bro, there are spoiled brats in every generation. Get off your high horse.
