Anybody got a bomb shelter?
Or know anybody who has a bomb shelter. Old '50s or '60s style backyard bomb shelter is what I'm looking for. If so, what condition is it in? Does it have supplies?

2. I want one too.
My dream has always been to build one and stock it with stuff.

3. I believe most west coast shelters have been converted to wine cellers
Wine is supplies, right?

"The New Frontier" by Donald Fagen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRrCZCN8Kj0

Yes we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground
It's just a dugout that my dad built
In case the Reds decide to push the button down
We've got provisions and lots of beer
The key word is survival on the new frontier

Introduce me to that big blonde
She's got a touch of Tuesday Weld
She's wearing Ambush and a French twist
She's got us wild and she can tell
She loves to limbo, that much is clear
She's got the right dynamics for the new frontier

Well I can't wait 'til I move to the city
'Til I finally make up my mind
To learn design and study overseas

Have you got a steady boyfriend
Cause honey I've been watching you
I hear you're mad about Brubeck
I like your eyes, I like him too
He's an artist, a pioneer
We've got to have some music on the new frontier

Well I can't wait 'til I move to the city
'Til I finally make up my mind
To learn design and study overseas

Let's pretend that it's the real thing
And stay together all night long
And when I really get to know you
We'll open up the doors and climb into the dawn
Confess your passion your secret fear
Prepare to meet the challenge of the new frontier

5. You can buy them for super cheap on the iinternet.
The ones you bury. They are huge, and come with supplies. Google survivalist or something.

7. My property was the local fire station in the late 1800's
and early 1900's.

My home housed the fire marshall and we have an old time bomb shelter in the basement. The metal door is off the hinges and leaning against one of the walls. I have no supplies in there, unless you consider the fact that I use it as my wine cellar now.

Amusingly enough, it seems the room was used by the most recent previous owner's teenagers as their smoking den. :smoke:
