After Japan which was Tokyo and Dad worked at Haneda Air Base. The housing area we lived in was called Washington Heights a brand new development no trees nothing but the houses and sidewalks but that soon changed. We enjoyed seeing the bare ground turn into lovely grass/trees and plants.
We came back to B'ham AL but were there less than a year if I remember right and then moved to Bordentown, NJ as a great guy that Dad worked with (that we kids called Uncle Jack) had his own business a welding shop. And he sent word to Dad that he had a job for him if he wanted to come up there. So Dad took a bus there checked things out and came back down to B'ham packed all our stuff in back of this LONGGGG truck as well as an area with the double bed mattress right behind the window in back of truck. That is where we kids were and we knocked on the window when either of us had to go potty. Needless to say long before seat belts lol. I remember that trip well and we enjoyed it.
To be honest I don't remember that much about B'ham itself, except for the Iron Man a HUGE statue that we always climbed to the top that was a lot of steps. We lived near RED mountain (that is what we called it) at 1328 16th Place SW. My God parents ownd a grocery store I use to stock the canned goods for them for few dollars before and after Japan.
