Hotel St. became known when I was there for a particular kind of love hotel. Absolutely nothing wrong with them or the niche that hotel street filled but for a bunch of 20 year old US sailors at the dawn of the don’t ask don’t tell days, it was off limits (literally).

Ahh, got it. Also doesn’t bother me, but also not my own thing.

I remember the Hotel street, good bars to go steaming! The cruiser that I was on was the USS Chosin, CG65. Now 35 years old. She went through that modernization program and is one of the only Ticonderoga cruisers left. We were the cruiser that sailed around Ford Island on the 50th anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. If you watched the news December 7th 1991, that was us! One of my other ships is now a museum ship in San Pedro CA, the USS Iowa! One of these days, I will visit her!

Same in Korea. I spent 9 months there on a consulting gig. They were super easy to spot because the parking spaces had heavy curtains you could close behind the car, obscuring its license plate, make and model.
