Last I heard they were keeping one of the blimp hangars, since they're historical. I hope that's still the plan.

Took them long enough, that property's been falling into ruin since we left, nearly ten years ago.

I lived there for 5 years in the early '70s, when my dad was stationed at El Toro. The place has changed significantly, even in the last 10 years. It's so built up you would hardly recognize it, except for the hangars. One of the hangers, the one they are planning on keeping, has been maintained and is still in use for various functions (It's rented out for events).

Still, I lived there when there was literally NOTHING around it but farm fields. I miss that, but this, and El Toro, is some of the most prime real estate in the world. As much as I savor my memories of the place, the development was inevitable.
