Prior to Atomic City being named Atomic City, the name was used to quickly define any city that grew up around the atomic energy industry (either for weapons or actual energy). Hanford, Washington was called that in passing. As was Idaho Falls. It was also the name of a race horse, but that doesn't really come into play here.
The Atomic City in question - the actually Atomic City located in Idaho - was originally called Midway. The name changed in 1950, but a year before, nearby Arco was being dubbed as "the atomic city" as well.
In March of 1950, this was all put to rest. In the Idaho State Journal out of Pocatello, they wrote: "Arco no longer is the atomic city and Midway will not be Midway in the future. That is the manner in which the atomic energy testing station is changing the geographical names of the Snake River Valley." This can be credited to John Weise.
John owned most of the land in and around Midway. In mid March, he signed papers making Midway "The Atomic City." Everyone was thrilled, I'm sure. John named the town to begin with, so ...

Atomic Ranch celebrates the optimism of the Atomic Age. A time in post war America where the future was bright and architecture and design mirrored that optimism. The dream of owning your own post and beam style rancher and a Detroit automobile were well within reach. The space age signaled in a new era and the future never seamed so bright. Of course there was a constant threat of nuclear annihilation, but you could always excavate your yard to make way for a fall out shelter.
This was inspired by one of my favorite Mod style magazines; Atomic Ranch. A great resource for all your Mid-Century style needs.
The model is lighted with Blinky Bricks lights. www.blinkybricks.com/
This is the the Atomic bomb Memorial in the Peace Park in Hiroshima. It leads up to the Atomic Bomb museum. Through the archway you can see the A-bomb dome. This was the building above which the atomic bomb, Little Boy, was dropped. It still stands today as a memorial of that tragic event.

The Flickr Lounge, Abstract - hmm, well you can tell what it is, but I'd like to think that I'm focussing on the essence of the object, which would thus qualify it for Abstract (I hope).
