NAS Alameda O-Club
Does anyone remember where it was from the entrance gate? The USS Hornet museum
is berthed to the left along the waterfront, but I can't remember where the O-club was. I've been invited to a gathering there, and can't even find an old map of the station. Thanks! |

I remember it as a real drunk atmosphere back in 1957.

Joe,
The old NAS Alameda O-Club is close by the Main Gate - which is NOT the East Gate one typically uses to get to HORNET. How to get the 1. Follow the signs from I-880 to the HORNET, via the Webster Street Tube from Oakland into Alameda. 2. Turn right (west) from Webster onto Atlantic Avenue. Landmark: College of Alameda is on the near right corner. 3. Follow Atlantic all the way to Main Street. You'll see the East Gate dead ahead of you, across the intersection, but DO NOT CROSS the intersection. Instead... 4. Turn right (north) onto Main Street. Main will eventually curve gradually to the left (west). Landmark: You'll pass the Alameda Ferry Terminal and Rosenblum Winery on your right. 5. Main terminates at the Main Gate. Pass through the Main Gate, go around the A-4 "gate guard", and turn left at your first opportunity onto Red Line Avenue. 6. You'll see the O-Club on the left side of Red Line after about a block. -- Mike Kanze "There is no hope that the Vietnam generation braintrust who just lost this election will ever understand Red [State] America. Until someone in the party recognizes this, the tides of demography will inexorably erode the blue islands that remain on the map." - Daniel Henniger, WALL STREET JOURNAL (11/5/2004) "Jdf4cheval" wrote in message ...
