We didn’t have a car so we rode the bus to town. And all the air raid bomb shelters were everywhere. We also had black window shades and would pull them down when the sirens went off for drills.
You all are talking about the nuclear threat.
My mother really lived that way in WWII. Actual air raid drills and painted things and dark shades to pull down for said air raids, where you better not crack open the shade to peek....she managed to do that.
And with a 3 gallon a week gas ration for the 10 mpg car, there was a lot of walking.
