THE SONIC BOOMERS

In 1957, a young Black couple named Bill and Daisy Meyers bought a home in Levittown, Pa. They hoped it would be a great place to raise their young and growing family. What followed were months of terror as rocks pierced their front window, neighbors in the back blasted music all night and hundreds rioted outside their home at 43 Deepgreen Lane. This is also the story of two developers: Bill Levitt and built Levittown with a "no Blacks" clause in all contracts and who defied the Supreme Court decision against such clauses Meanwhile California developer Joseph Eichler boldly stepped forward offering to build and sell homes to anyone who had the money..

In the six years we have been in our home, the living room has been redone three times and is now heading to a fourth revision. The problem is balancing our chosen design esthetic and comfort and functionality. Our 1956 constructed home falls into the the "mid century" category but NOT mid century modern which is where we have tried to take the living room. After our third round of changes, we are thinking that the first edition may have been the best and we should have left well enough alone....Should we spend the time and money to go back? Have we lost our minds? Oh the pain of being interior design enthusiasts!!!

As kids prepare to head back to the classroom, The Sonic Boomers invite you to join them for a trip down memory lane remembering the classrooms of their youth in the 1960's. Would they feel strangely out of place in the classroom of today?

We will try to answer some questions from the research we've done: 1. What is a revaluation 2. What is the assessor REALLY looking for when coming into my home. 3.Can I deny the assessor entry to my home? 4, What will happen if I deny access? 5. Will will property tax really go up? 6. What recourse do I have if I feel I have over assessed? 7. Why is my township doing this?

Just back from beautiful western Maryland and the 2026 Convocation of the American National Catholic Church (ANCC). ANCC is an independent expression of modern Catholicism, with no connection to the Roman Catholic Church. We believe that our brand of Catholicism is the continuation of Vatican II and the progressive direction Pope John XXIII was taking the Church at the time of his passing. If you are ready for a modern, relevant expression of an ancient faith, the ANCC might be for you. We have 14 parishes across the United States. Check out our beautiful new website and take the quiz at www.theancc.org and see if we're a good fit for you!!
