Richland even had strippers for school crossing guards

I don’t remember a single stripper standing between me and my school, but the Hanford Declassified archive would have us believe that Gypsy Rose Lee’s blond cousin was called to duty to protect the children. That’s because, apparently, the below billboard of a dead child sprawled across the desert highway was ineffective. Because no one in Hanford or Richland paid attention to anything but sex.
