The Atomic Cafe


My parents came to visit last week. Maybe I will put a picture or two of them on here so you can see them. We went to the San Javier Del Bac Mission, which they didn't like and the Titan Missile Museum, which they actually found interesting. We also go to hang out and spend some time together which was cool, because they live in Colorado and we don't get to see them enough.

They had some cool signs, memorabilia and movies about the Cold War, in addition to the huge missile and silo at the Titan Missile Museum. It is one of those places you only go to when you have visitors, but it was still fun. My Dad reminisced about being taught to duck under your desk in the event of a nuclear blast when we watched a Civil Defense movie. That way, when you are instantly vaporized, you will be under your desk.

So here's another idea I probably won't implement:
A nice little Coffee Shop called the Atomic Cafe. It would be decorated with all sorts of Cold War signs and gieger counters and things of that nature. Anyway, I thought it would be cool. Apparently there is a movie of this name that is a montage of Civil Defense films. And there is an Atomic Cafe in Maine. But, it doesn't have the cool decor.
