Inventing the “Stepford Wives” American Dream Town

quote [ The first thing to know when walking around Levittown, PA, is that it is very easy to get lost. The leafy winding streets often double back on themselves, and confusingly, the street names in the different parts of town not only all begin with the same letter, but have similar sounding, idyllic names; ]

So very US-American .. must have been quite unimaginable for other countries at that time.

I lived in Levittown my last year of high school, in the early 70s. By then the whole "black family" thing was over.

It was... nice. There was a park within walking distance.
