Evanston Illinois! Home of Northwestern University and beside Lake Michigan.

Evanston was "dry" until 1972 so all the college students had to "cross the border" into the neighboring city of Chicago if they wanted booze.

(And a town I would love to live in!)

This was not a result of you being stationed there, was it?

Norman back in the late 50's was a sleepy little college town with nothing for a Sailor to get into. Okie City was where the action was. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the Navy being there because the year after I left the Base was closed. I think the illegal sales of booze continued for years after the Navy was gone.

Ibiza, Ibiza Island, located 80 km southwest of Mallorca, Balearics, Spain. A wonderful island which has unfortunately been spoiled by turism during the last 20 years. Almonds and olives are some of the main products growing there.

Athen, one of the world's oldest cities its recorded history spans around 3,400 years. The Greek capital has a population of 745,514 (in 2001), and a land area of 39 km2

I spent a lot of time in Athens at Various times while in the NAVY back in the
late 50's. I came to love the city and the people a lot. I guess of all the Mediterranean countries I like Greece the best. I marveled at the written language while there. In the short distance from Piraeus, where the ship was, to Athens you would see the Greek spelling of "Athens" in about 10 different dialects.
I never adjusted to Greek wine while I was there. It had a strong taste of PINE NEEDLES. I did like their Ouso liquor though, it was potent stuff.


Dauphin Island is a town in Mobile County, Alabama, United States, located on a barrier island also named Dauphin Island. population 1,371. It was named after Louis XIV's great-grandson and heir, the Dauphin.

I was stationed in Norman exactly 50 years ago when the Navy had an Electronics prep school there. I remember going to Okie City on Liberty when it was the wet-est dry city in America. The Black Hotel sold more hard stuff than any other single place in America at the time. The only legal stuff
was 3/2 beer.

Innsbruck is a state capital city in Austria and hosted the 1976 Winter Olympics. There really is a river called Inn! So the city gets its name from the German words for the bridge over the Inn. It is famous for winter sports but also for hiking in the mountains.

Here's a beautiful picture from Wikipedia.
