I remember those NIKE sites as a kid. We had one just down the road from us in Arlington Heights.
I remember seeing one on Lake Michigan during a trip to Chicago. And here is an almost “everything Nike” website:

and the Nike Historical Society: http://nikemissile.org/links.shtml
Hilarious! I lived in Naperville an remember the remains of the old Nike base there, which was used for sports fields and still is today.
I have a memory of seeing a NIKE battery in the Watchung area of New Jersey, when we were out hiking around or something. I often wonder if I just dreamed it or imagined it. I know we talked about them a lot.
