THIS VESSLE WAS HERE IN 1961. BROWSING THROUGH FLICKR, I SEE IT WAS STILL IN YAMASHITA PARK IN 1993. WILL IT SAIL SOMEDAY? OR HAS IT ALREADY SAID SAYONARA TO YAMASHITA AND ALL WHO VIEWED HER? THANKS TO KOM674 FOR THE PHOTO.

This was a High School in Yokohama in early 70s, then it became a Middle School when the new high school opened up in Yokosuka Naval base.

Bill Chickering Theater, Yokohama 1960s

Bill Chickering Theater, Yokohama 1960s
I watched the original "Planet of the Apes" at this theater. Back then, FREE admission with a Military I.D. Card. And the Cafeteria on the right had an awesome " Gravy-over-Rice!!; To the left of the theater was the Main Navy Exchange (PX); to the right of the Cafeteria was the Bowling Alley; behind the Theater was the Teen-Club. ($1.00=360yen)
