Even though I don't work with libraries anymore, they still draw my attention. The Fort Worth Public Library, which is mostly underground, had significant damage to its aboveground expansion.

During the Cold War, both Uncle Sam and ATT built a large number of VERY sturdy bunkers. These typically had 18" thick concrete walls, Diesels with 2 weeks of fuel, double blast doors thick enough to defeat an $cientology lawyer seeking Xenu, and filters almost good enough to take the stink out of the air during a Senate campaign. Many are near empty; others used in mudane tasks such as storage. While they were NOT located in city centers for obvious reasons, in some cases the city has come to them over the years.
