Well, I did a brief search on the internet, and could not find out whether those air raid sirens still go on every Tuesday morn at 10:30...I did however find an article, where a guy talks about growing up in Chicago during the 50s and mentions those weekly air raid sirens...

However he states that the air raid sirens were in the fire stations....I always thought they were in our factory next door, as they sounded so close, but then the fire station was only one block from our house, so I guess, the air raid sirens were in the fire house not the factory...

This article also mentions, that when he was a kid, the author of this piece, remembers thinking to himself, that clever Russians would actually bomb Chicago on a Tuesday morning at 10:30, because no one would actually think a bombing was going on at that time, because we were all so used to the regular weekly sirens...

ohhh those devious Russians
I am sure they planned to bomb chicago at 10:30 am on a tuesday morning
