This is not about Virginia, but might igve you a sense of what happened
elsewhere.  In the late 1980s I was on a commission to determine what to
do with NewYork States millions of tons of court records.  We discovered
that literally tons of traffic tickets were in boxes in an old Nike
missle silo on Long Island.

I have pinnned down a couple of missile sites in Fairfax County which helped protect Washington DC from the Great Evil Empire,  but I suspect there must also have been some around Norfolk.
