The term "Pink Houses", refers to just that, pink houses. I lived in one for the first year of my life from 1954 to 55'. They were low-cost houses (which my parents refered to as the "projects") that were bulit in the late 40s' and early 50s' for all the new growing families most of which were military returning home from the war. (BABY BOOMERS) I would go back there with my parents to visit there old friends till I was 10-12 years old, and YES, ALL the houses were painted pink. Not a bright "shocking pink" but pink nontheless. I'm not sure why pink was the color of choice in the midwest but there you have it.
@twise I have seen several neighborhoods with pink houses as well. they were not all pink though. some were green and not all of the neighborhoods were projects. The colors were real close to the same as the little square pink and green party mints. I am from southern Indiana not far where I-65 runs through between Seymour and Louisville Kentucky. I have not only seen them in Indiana but around Kentucky as well.
