...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed... Patrick Henry (1736-1799) US Founding Father

The Cape Cod: The Original Levittown House

A Cape Cod house is a modest symmetrical style that originated in colonial New England and became popular again in the 1930s, '40s and '50s. Today, examples of the Cape Cod style can be seen across the United States. The name was coined by Yale President Timothy Dwight when he traveled through the region in the 1790s, says Architecture Week.



Almost every house built there is still standing. Most have been enlarged, modified or changed in some other way. When first built many scoffed at the rubes that had rented (most were originally rented) or bought. Whole new communities of upwardly mobile ex-servicemen sprang up creating huge economic waves. Relatives or the dubious began to scoff less and look more at the neighborhoods of cute and well maintained "cottages", many moved to the new neighborhoods continuing to make the houses more valuable.
Today, as in all towns, there are nicer areas of town, but overall Levittown is a close knit community where neighbors know and take care of each other. Some additions were poorly thought out, but most were done very well for newer tastes and growing families. Currently, Levittown is once again going though changes utilizing new design techniques and new building technology. If for no other reason one should visit during the Christmas season where you will see displays that are unbelievable. Last year there were groups of carolers that roamed neighborhoods, especially to visit with the house bound, sick or just alone. The carolers knew which houses needed a little extra love. That's a neighborhood.
Emergency: Save Stogie!

With All Due Respect Madam Speaker
Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
ON GIBBS’ ASSERTION THAT DEMOCRATS COULD LOSE THE HOUSE: “With all due respect -- I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about what the president's employees say about one thing or another.”
ON PELOSI'S ASSERTION THAT GIBBS IS AN IDIOT: "With all due respect - - I don't spend a whole lot of time thinking about what a whacked out liberal district's super rich and pampered got no real world experience employee says about one thing or another."
Good Lord, I would bet that Pelosi's "birds and bees" talk with the kids was assisted by her personal second chef describing the act of assembling of ecargot as a visual aid.
