  • In this video I'll take you through a few of the houses that the Navy used when living on base. There are a few houses restored which seems to be some government effort to use them for tourism.

    2:30 - is this 10 Cabot Drive? I lived here when my dad was stationed in RR from 1970-74. Thank you for documenting this neighborhood, it brings back such great memories.

    The house where you start the video at was an Admirals house. There are twoof them there at the end of the cul-de-sac. I lived in the first house on the left as you leave the cul-de-sac. Before those two-story houses were built me and my friends played in that area. We alos played in the houses as they were being built. So sad to see it falling apart.

      Cool, that confirms my knowledge on those two houses as I always new there were for high ranking officers. My dad was a security officer on base at one point and worked there so I spent a night at the car while he did his shift.

      I spent hours rollerskating in the cul-de-sac there where those admirals houses were. We lived on Cabot Drive right nearby. I remember going into one of the admiral’s houses. I think I had a friend who lived there. I remember them being quite nice. I also spent hours down on the beach below those houses. Our house had a similar view as these admiral houses. I can’t believe we were so fortunate. I just took it for granted! 1974-77

    I always wondered how Anzio Lane looks now. I had the best memories of that place when my dad was stationed there as he was in the Coast Guard.

    Sammy, thank you for doing these videos. I keep promising my son that I will take him there to show him where he was born. Sammy, would you be willing to add some time to your video library Dos Marinas and gate 1, The Lighthouse bar? tia

      Thanks for watching, yes I can do a bit of Dos Marinas and gate 1. I’ll take a look at the Lighthouse to see if there is in fact something left there since last time I looked the area was covered by nature.

      First of all thank you for watching, unfortunately the houses are being restored for a type of Hotel offereing which has been out sourced by the government. They have been working on them for more than 5 years now with little to no progress which is normal for the PR government.
