As I took this picture, a homeless guy walked up and urged me to open it. "I'll work for ya," he said. "I'll work all day, I miss the place."
In 2009 it appeared in The Hangover, but has been closed for a number of years before that.
I met the owner, Joe Sobchik in late 2005, but the internet is strangely quiet on where he is now or what happened to this Las Vegas institution.
After being inactive for a while, I have chosen a new name and have a new logo. Formerly Republic Customs now Atomic Bricks. I will be posting everything to this account in the future and only put some things on my old account.
Website will be up soon and will continue to sell all the items that were on the RC site.

On display at Albuquerque's Atomic Museum was this shoe fitting device that used X-Ray technology to determing proper sizing. These "Hi-tech" devices were banned from use decades ago due to fear of radiation overexposure.

A Theatrical Dance Performance.
Conceived and Directed by Corinna Vosse.
Choreography by Paul Bargetto
This was a performance on the Red Hook piers in May of 1997 at the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition's Annual Pier Show
It featured music by me and my pal Wrybread working samplers live. I edited this down from about 20 minutes of Hi-8 video from Chris Baxter. That's East Village performance artist, Gecko, with the flaming nipples.

Deserted bathroom at the former Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. (AECL) site on Laperriere Ave in Ottawa. Note the seafoam green paint, also used on the Theratron Junior (now at the Canada Science and Technology Museum). From 1954 to 1964, this site produced and exported Cobalt radiotherapy devices.
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy NGC 7252, which is the result of a collision with another galaxy a long time ago (and yes, far away, too).
Original caption Only rarely does an astronomical object have a political association. However, the spiral galaxy NGC 7252 acquired exactly that when it was given an unusual nickname. In December 1953, the US President Dwight D. Eisenhower gave a speech advocating the use of nuclear power for peaceful purposes. This “Atoms for Peace” speech was significant for the scientific community, as it brought nuclear research into the public domain, and NGC 7252, which has a superficial resemblance to an atomic nucleus surrounded by the loops of electronic orbits, was dubbed the Atoms for Peace galaxy in honour of this. These loops are well visible in a wider field of view image. This nickname is quite ironic, as the galaxy’s past was anything but peaceful. Its peculiar appearance is the result of a collision between two galaxies that took place about a billion years ago, which ripped both galaxies apart. The loop-like outer structures, likely made up of dust and stars flung outwards by the crash, but recalling orbiting electrons in an atom, are partly responsible for the galaxy’s nickname. This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows the inner parts of the galaxy, revealing a pinwheel-shaped disc that is rotating in a direction opposite to the rest of the galaxy. This disc resembles a spiral galaxy like our own galaxy, the Milky Way, but is only about 10 000 light-years across — about a tenth of the size of the Milky Way. It is believed that this whirling structure is a remnant of the galactic collision. It will most likely have vanished in a few billion years’ time, when NGC 7252 will have completed its merging process.
An image which is still terrible, no matter how familiar it may be now. This month sees the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union, on 5th August 1963. The treaty was signed in Moscow by American Secretary of State Dean Rusk, Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, and British Foreign Secretary Lord Home, just a day before the 18th anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. It followed more than eight years of tough negotiations, to try and end the arms race which had been begun by events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Minds had been focused by the Cuban Missile Crisis in the previous year, but even this was only a limited step: France, the other nation with nuclear weapons, did not sign the treaty, and nor did China, which was just about to develop weapons of its own, and the treaty still allowed underground testing. It was never, therefore, a comprehensive test ban, but it is still in effect today and remains one of the most significant arms control measures in recent history.
The fifth Bikini Atoll atomic bomb test in the image dates from July 1946, and huge though it is, would have been dwarfed by the weapons banned in 1963. But then this was very early in the arms race, and it would take a long time for the effects of such explosions to be understood: if you look closely, you can see how terribly close the monitoring ships are to the blast zone.
This image comes from the papers of the naval historian Captain Stephen Roskill, who was senior British observer at the Bikini Atoll tests. Roskill went on to become instrumental in the founding of the Archives Centre (and is the reason why we have so many collections of naval papers today).

The bar at the Atomic Cowboy in St. Louis. It really has a fun feel too it. Not overly fussy looking or organized in the appearance, it comes across more welcoming than some places we've been.

Never fired in war, only in test! The first artillery test was on May 25, 1953 at the Nevada Test Site. Fired as part of Operation Upshot-Knothole and codenamed Shot GRABLE, a 280 mm (11 inch) shell with a gun-type fission warhead was fired 10,000 m (6.2 miles) and detonated 160 m (525 ft) above the ground with an estimated yield of 15 kilotons. This was the only nuclear artillery shell ever actually fired in the US test program. The shell was 1384 mm (4.5 ft) long and weighed 365 kg (805 lb); it was fired from a special artillery piece, nicknamed "Atomic Annie", built by the Artillery Test Unit of Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Around 3,200 personnel were present. The warhead was designated the W9 and 80 were produced from 1952-53 for the T-124 shell. It was retired in 1957.
Located next to I-70 at Exit 301, just outside Fort Riley, KS. It's a steep walk up a hiil to reach the cannon.

She's in a thoughtful mood.
