Where in the world was the Navy BOQ? I stayed at the one in Alameda and it was a dump on par with Oakland Army Base. Did we have a classy one on TI? And nobody told me!? I'm a product of the 60s so I tend to stay away from Squares. Sorry dude, couldn't resist. Jack London's has a little tiny bar hauled out of Alaska. Wood everywhere. Always brings the MSOs to mind. Union had the very first bookstore I was ever in that has an escalator. An escalator in a bookstore! So I know where we put the nukes in the Bay Area. Where in the world was the Navy BOQ?

Damned selfish of SF keeping all those warmonger Army missile guys all to themselves...

That blast zone in the east bay started so very close to Alameda didn't it? There was another one you know or 3 or more. Right there on Angel Island with those awful missiles. Longish whatchamacallit gone. I would just like to raise the names of Mike Royko, Herb Caen and Michael Kelly. Very much like our host, they had a way with words. Neighbor Lee,

Even when the Navy scores a coup on the fools of SF, you complain. Me? I find the damned flat chunk of mud worthless. Enslaved to the whims of the Bay Bridge, cold, miserable, windswept unaeshthetic mass of nothingness with front row seat view of both Sodom and Gomorrah. And I speak from first hand knowledge, as I've walked a few miles in my own shoes on that damnable spit of land over the course of my Navy daze. Not much to visit on either side of the attachment to civilization either, as I found out again just yesterday. Spent the morning in Jack London Square, and the afternoon/evening in Union Square. Freaks, flakes, losers, and greedy do-nothingers on both sides. Give it to 'em. Let them continue the building of their social amusement park. Glad I live just outside the blast zone.
