The main entrance to the base has moved east. The old guard
shack still stands but the main administration / security building is gone. The
parking lot is still there. 103rd.Street no longer connects to Normandy Blvd. It
really looks weird to old timers like myself to be able to stand in a dirt pile
that was once a very busy intersection.

| Tower Down!!! |

Looking North from about 1/4 mile down the old Main
Drag back toward the guard shack. Softball field and picnic area to the
right.
Remember these street lights glowed an orangey - yellow color? |

beautiful monument. |
