Do a google search on the old Glenview NAS outside Chicago. It's probably a foreshadowing of what will happen with Alameda.

It was a model aircraft mecca as the old nationals (I think) were hosted there for years. Plus all the training that went on there for WW2 thru the end of the century. I saw my first airshow there in the mid-'70's. I was still small enough to be carried by Dad. Probably one of the first showings of the F-14, but I remember it clearly. The show consisted of a flightline of pretty much every frontline jet in the navy taking turns zooming around the pattern, doing speed runs and touch & go's. All through my childhood I remember the hum of C-130's and P-3s as we lived about 10 miles from there.

Now the place is McMall/McMansion development. One of those fakey "town-center" things. They saved the base ops center as a historic building and sits at the end of the mall's cul-de-sac. At least there's some nod given to the history there.
