Kyle Bolyard’s drive to work as a history teacher in suburban Niles, Illinois, takes him past a strange sign. It’s planted on the side of a sturdy, brick building owned by the regional wastewater treatment authority.
“I pass this building every single day and at some some point along the way I just kind of noticed it,” says Bolyard, 26. “It’s a pretty small sign. It’s kind of rusted a little bit. It says ‘fallout shelter on floors one and in basement.’”
Fallout shelter, as in nuclear fallout following an atomic bomb blast. The symbol on the sign is familiar to Americans who lived through the Cold War: three yellow triangles circumscribed in a circle, pointing down. That sign got Kyle thinking.
I was wondering if there were any nuclear fallout a nuclear blast shelters left in the city of Chicago or the area.
