The Cold War

Our apartment building - two story brick - was built circa 1950s with solid concrete walls and ceilings. A former neighbor who grew up in the building reminded me that at one time it was designated as an Air Raid Shelter with drums of supplies stored in the basement. And sure enough as I recently wandered down a passageway I saw a sign on the wall reading "fallout shelter" with the black & yellow triangles still affixed as a reminder of how things were during those days.
