ROTFL!!!

This is a Nike Missile SITE. Note the catagories? "abandoned"

Missiles were deployed here in the 60s. These sites are scattered all over the country. Nike missiles don't exist anymore and haven't been deployed in the US since the 70s.

Of course those are school busses. Type "nike" in the search box. Some sites still look operational, some are gone completely, and some have been converted to other uses.

I removed the Missile category. Think that'll cut down on the cunfusion a little? :)

The Nike missile launchers were at what's now a bus yard. They were underground and rose to the surface for firing. The targeting radar site was west of there, off E. 305th St., at what is now Manry Park.
