my house is gone! changes on South Post?

Well, it's not really "my" house...it was the house I lived in in the early 1970s as a teenaged dependent. It was located on South Post, near Gate 19, between the northern perimeter wall and Collier Field.

Until recently, I could see it clearly--and all the familiar landmarks of my old neighborhood--on Google Earth (although I don't know when those images were taken). But now I see new images of Yongsan up...and my house is...gone! As well as the cluster of maybe 8 to 10 other duplexes in my immediate neighborhood. My street is even gone, rerouted around what looks like a levelled field. Collier Field looks like it is being turned into something else!

Anyone know what is going on there? I can try to post some of the Google images if it isn't clear what I am talking about.

You can't go home again....

Re: my house is gone! changes on South Post?

Well, Scott, they have built a big helipad sort of across the street from Collier.
I never got back in behind MND to check on your house. There is road repair going on as we speak, and I haven't paid much attention since we spoke earlier. The town is still building skyscrapers beside and behind the hospital, near where I used to live by gate 19.

Re: my house is gone! changes on South Post?

as always, many thanks Mr. Joe. I can see those enormous skyscrapers just to the southwest of gate 19...man, that area has seen some change over the past 30 years!

If you find anything else out, or ever get by that area, please let me know.

thanks,
Scott
