cars on Polk Street, Amarillo, Texas, 1950s



 Approximate view now (the FW Woolworth building is still there but now used as a cocktail lounge).

Amarillo, Texas, is called "Bomb City" because it's home to the Pantex Plant, the U.S.'s only facility for assembling and disassembling nuclear weapons, making the city synonymous with nuclear arms, a nickname embraced locally and featured in art and culture.
