You Can Still Spot These Fallout Shelters in Missouri
In the not-so-distant past, there were thousands of fallout shelters in Missouri where the public could flee to in the event of a nuclear Armageddon. You still still spot some of them if you look close enough as remnants of the 1960's fallout culture still exist.
When I was a kid, my dad worked at the post office in Hannibal, Missouri. It is part of the Federal Building that also used to house a fallout shelter in the basement. There used to be one of the fallout shelter signs on the first floor near where the post office boxes still are.
According to Waymarking.com, there's another fallout shelter that used to exits in a former police garage in St. Louis, Missouri.
Waymarking says there's another old fallout shelter that used to exist in what used to be Rock Spring School in St. Louis, Missouri.
If you look at the old Bremen Bank building in St. Louis, you can still see a fallout shelter sign on the left side of the building.
There are many other places in Missouri that still have the fallout shelter signs up. There's an entire Reddit conversation devoted to them.
Don't expect to enter any of these old fallout shelters as they were all decommissioned years ago, but the remnants still remain. I wouldn't be surprised if these signs end up being a valuable collectible and/or man cave decoration. It's a memory of a time when the world feared nuclear destruction that sadly doesn't look that different than the one we live in today.
