I'm reading The 50's by David Halberstam. That decade gave us modern America. The rise of TV, fast food, suburbs, shopping, the H bomb, etc. The politics were wild, we just didn't see what went on.

When I was little--2nd Grade--we had drills in case of nuclear attack where we all had to get under our desks LOL.

I love the movie Pleasantville.

When I think about the 50's, it's the music. I don't care for any of it really, except maybe Hank Williams Sr, but there are a lot of legendary rock and country musicians from that decade. That music changed the nation.

I’m a big of the music from the 50s. We have rock today because of that era. Plus the cars were cool.

I know where you can find one:

Police investigate military-grade rocket in Bellevue garage

The Bellevue Police Department received an unusual call Wednesday evening: Could they come check out a military-grade rocket in a garage?

A Bellevue man bought a rocket from an estate sale. After he died, his neighbor called the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, Ohio, asking if the rocket could be donated.

The museum called Bellevue police, who went to the residence and found the rocket was a Douglas AIR-2 Genie, an unguided air-to-air rocket that is designed to carry a 1.5-kiloton W25 nuclear warhead.
