Remember when...
We had a neighbor out here who had one of these built - my family figured we were too close to a targeted SAC base that it wouldn't matter and thought it was a waste of money.

California Couple Discover Perfectly Preserved 1961 Fallout Shelter 15 Feet Below Their Backyard
DailyMail, 8 June 2013
When a California couple closed a deal to buy a home in Woodland Hills earlier this month, they knew that their new home came with a unique feature – a 1960s nuclear fallout shelter. But what Chris and Colleen Otcasek initially believed to be nothing more than a hole in their backyard turned out to be a perfectly preserved underground refuge fully stocked with vintage supplies.
Descending down a rusted staircase into the subterranean space, the property’s new owners were amazed to discover what amounted to a time capsule of a bygone era where many Americans believed that a nuclear strike from the USSR was imminent.
