@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org There's a well-preserved site in Marin County with a museum. You can ride in the launch elevator with the missile (which they assure me is unarmed, but I still wouldn't piss them off).

@mattblaze@federate.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I'm surprised the Nike missile site hasn't been bought by some tech bro for their bunker - I bet a few have tried. Also there's that entire, planned not built, town down at Tennessee valley too. I get the feeling that they are all itching to buy up the parks and coast

@mattblaze@federate.social @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Here on Vashon Island, our former Nike base is now home to our food bank, community health clinic, and a daycare. Count on this place to put a flower in one of the biggest rifle barrels of the Cold War.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @mattblaze@federate.social What I love about that location is that the barracks are right next to the launch area and would’ve been destroyed by the backblast in an actual Nike rocket launch. Makes you question if the brass really thought the program would work.
