    The Suburbs by Evan Burns

    • Many families in the suburbs built shelters in case they were bombed, as they were in the midst of the Cold War.
    • Atomic bomb tests were becoming more common in Soviet Russia, so there were more shelters built.
    • Houses in the suburbs were built identically to create the suburbs for people after the Cold War.
    • They needed all these houses for all the men who were in the army and came home, they started a family, went to college, and got married all at once, so many new neighborhoods were created.
    • The picture below is one of many bomb shelters built in the suburbs during the Cold War.
