To go along with my post about CONELRAD, I thought I'd post some pics of Nike missle sites. If you lived near a large metropolitan or industrial center from the '50's to the '70's, chances were good you lived close to an anti-aircraft missle site. I can't even imagine such a system today, but there were hundreds of these setup across the country to keep the Russian Bear at bay.
Near downtown Cleveland
Marin Headlands near San Francisco
Chicago
Here's a link if you're curious about these missle sites and whether one was stationed near you.
