Well there was a strip the last time I was there two years ago, but now that section is gated off with a guard. My dad told me the military took the base back (They had previously given it to the city). When I was there last I was in a Cavi-lol so it wasn't really fun. haha.

and thanks!

It probably was a bowling alley. Almost every air force base has one. What base is it?

^The base is in Homestead, Florida (right below Miami).


Some of the base is still in operation as a reserve base.


Here are some abandon buildings in the complex (this part is fenced off now with a gaurd)



Here are some nuclear fall-out shelters (I have actual pictures of these on an old hard drive I should dig out) This is all torn down now sadly... there were some cool signs I wish I had swiped.
