Photograph provided by Jim BohnA white background with a black and white logo1961 – BX on the right (and left???). Behind the telephone booth (in center of picture) is Barber Shop. On the other side of the building (where the black and white cars are parked) would be the Base Chapel.
Carl Frentz commented: “In 62 the building on the right was the bowling alley. The BX was the low one on the left. When they built the new bowling alley then I believe the old was made into part of the BX and clothing sales. Eventually it became part of the child care and then demolished.” and “I remember it was the low building on the left and across the street was the old bowling alley (later became the BX annex when they moved the bowling alley). Bowling alley then was 4 lanes and still had pin boys.”

A white background with a black and white logo1984 – Aerial of Commissary and Base Exchange (BX) and dorms. The cars in the bottom left of photograph would be parked on the old flight line. The elliptical area was the new dorm construction by the Barber Shop and HQ building. The HQ building is at the top center (looks like a backwards capital “E”).

Photograph provided by Terry Casey A white background with a black and white logo2009 – Looking west, I am standing on second floor of dorm across the street from BX/Commissary. Looking NNE, in background is the Fire Academy water tower and Angelo Inn Lodging and dorms (where flight line/runways use to be located).
A white background with a black and white logo1990 – Aerial of new BX and Commissary This photograph was taken before the old hanger (turned BX) was destroyed. You can see it next to the new brick BX complex. What looks like a huge parking lot (lighter tan color, closest to main street) was actually the concrete parade ground. This parade ground has since been changed to grass. Good view of new main street (Kearny Blvd)
