#Earthquake (#sismo) M3.1 strikes 29 km NW of #Levittown (Puerto Rico) 35 min ago. More info: https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=1273103

I've taught about #Levittown as part of U.S. #architecture #housing #history for more than a decade.

Excited that a student brought to my attention a bunch of resources on La Brega, the Levittown built in Puerto Rico to.. mixed results.

> In Levittown, for example, the project for a community school fell through because the middle-class parents wanted a more intensive program to assure their children’s “careers” (preparation for “prestige” colleges), whereas the lower-middle-class parents, who had lower status aims, preferred a more “progressive” program.
