Vintage Photo Friday

| Herald-Examiner, 1951 "Beautiful Mary Lou Miner suns herself atop a new West L.A. bomb shelter" |
I've posted these photos previously on "L.A. Is My Beat." I hate to think that we may have to be this careful again in America, but recent events are indicating this sort of behavior. Sigh.

I agree life is changing. I know we all have to be ready for anything that comes our way.
Your post is indeed timely, Ellen, though not simply by the dictates of news copy. Last night I watched the film Matinee again - you'd probably have to engage higher math to approximate how many times I've seen this, John Goodman's best role ever – and took note of the bomb shelter that figures into a plot set amidst the Cuban missile crisis.
Thanks for the comments, Vickie and Richard. Yes, I suppose we've always got to be aware of what is going on around us! Sigh.
This may be my son's front yard. He has a bomb shelter in WLA.
