NPR just the other day featured an article on a radio station in Charlotte with a fallout shelter built beneath it. This is but one of ten of these hardened radio stations, announced in June 1962 (before the Cuban Missile Crisis, contrary to the article). Below is the actual North Carolina Civil Defense Agency (NCCD) press release on the story, and the followup information from the 1963 - 1965 NCCD Progress Report.
For clarification, "SBW - PIO" stands for Sarah Boyd Weaver, Public Information Officer.
