section Summary
 
 
In the United States, the 1950s was the rise of suburbia. Undeveloped areas were constructed into planned communities. One of the most famous subdivisions of this time was known as Levittown. Levittown was a political subdivision of Long Island, New York. It was the first truly mass-produced suburb and served as the prototype for postwar suburbs across America.

After WWII, drive in movie theatres began to be put in all over the nation. After so many GIs had traveled the country and seen the unique things it had to offer, businessmen realized the potential in the entertainment market. In the late 1950s drive-in movie theatres hit their popularity peak. Now that more people had access to cars, drive-ins were more convenient for than regular movie theatres for various reasons. A couple or family with a baby could take care of their child while watching a movie, while teenagers with access to cars found drive-ins ideal for dates. With the rising popularity of cars owned by citizens, Dwight D. Eisenhower created a network of highways that became known as the Interstate Highway System.
