Home > Military Memories > 368 Martin Street, Bolling AFB
In June 1982 we left Guam and flew back to Pittsburgh, PA. We stayed in the New Castle area for a while until we moved down to Bolling AFB in southwest Washington D.C. in August. We lived on Bolling but my father worked at NIPPSA in the federal center in nearby Suitland, MD. I remember the first day on Bolling as we sat in our car in the parking lot of the old commissary. We were waiting for our house to be ready and it took a few hours. Very boring. Our old house at 368 Martin Street was part of a brick rowhouse unit and was not attractive at all. We resided there from 1982 until after my father retired in June 1986. During that time me and my sister Carol graduated from high school in 1985 and I started college that same fall. The housing area we lived in was slowly abandoned and boarded up beginning in the about 2004. The houses on Martin Street were demolished in August 2009. See the page for Martin Street & Area '09 for pictures of the demolition.. |
