        @BeschlossDC I think Nikes were on Belmont Av & lake, Michael, protecting our old apt building about a dozen blocks north.

        No Nike Missiles were ever fired, but with 20 Nike Missile bases within and surrounding the Chicago area, there was a small chance of a Soviet Attack on Chicago being successful!pic.twitter.com/WajqnxVEUl
