    Not the hippie era but good example of what the world was like the spurned the Hippie Counter Culture Movement. Cold War photo of a signage for a Hollywood CA architect's designed atom bomb shelter in 1961. Really went overboard for this image, bought from someone who had access to a Belgian Newspaper Photo Archive.

      Thanks for sharing your memories. I got to grade school in 1959 and I seem to recall Duck & Cover in the earliest grades but not afterwards... The whole concept was after all, absurd to think that if an atomic bomb hit our town that this would do a lick of good.
