Re: Minneapolis, MN old siren system

Thanks for the info!! I also remember that blue allertor in Bloomington!! Where I live in Coon Rapids there used to be a thunderbolt by CRHS. and there was an allertor on Coon Rapids Blvd. by the Rose Garden Restaurant.
Both replaced by 2001's :(

Re: Minneapolis, MN old siren system

I remember seeing that Allertor back in 1996!! I remember how ridiculously low it was to the sidewalk in front of the building! My 1st thought was "Crap, I'd hate to be walking by when 'THAT" went off!!" LOL!!
