There’s probably some still around in houses built in the fifties. Maybe converted to storage. And the big ones in the basement of government buildings stocked with water and survival crackers. School room duck and cover drills. I remember that.

I remember when pay toilets cost a dime, and when you got new shoes, you stuck your feet in a X-ray machine to see if there was enough toe room.

Television - I remember TV was free - I lived in NYC - all we needed was rabbit ears.
TV shows ended at midnight with the Star Spangled Banner.
There were about 10 channels.
This kept us kids outside and exercising!!
