Baby Boomers Suburbia: Yesterday and Tomorrow

The future of Baby Boomer suburbia has never been so uncertain. High gas prices, long commutes, and poor community amenities, combined with recent high foreclosures, could leave the outer suburbs stigmatized by inferior quality and lower-income residents. Other close-in cities, including Pasadena, may fare much better because of their better efficiencies in transportation and closer proximity to jobs and services. Now on the threshold of retirement, what lies ahead for the Baby Boomers and for the neighborhoods they now occupy? Seating is limited to 60; please RSVP by MONDAY, MAY 25th to ALICE LEPIS: alepis@prodigy.net
