Summer in Levittown, 1978

Summers growing up in Philadelphia running around until the street lights come on…chasing fireflies feeling the rain coming. Thunder rumbling and the heavy first drops splashing on the pavement. The air is electric. The smells of summer like fading bbqs and fireworks. Sunscreen and koolaid. Levittown, PA 1978

Lucky

Context

Suburban Philadelphia, post-Vietnam America. Kids owned the streets until dark. No phones, no internet — just the neighborhood.
