The Navy Club on Yongsan Is Now Closed

Unfortunately for those that liked going to the Navy Club on Yongsan Garrison it is now closed as part of the USFK relocation plan:

The Navy Club ended the final chapter of its long four-decade run at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan on Thursday.

Rear Adm. Lisa Franchetti, commander of U.S. Naval Forces Korea, spoke to more than 100 military and civilian guests at a closure ceremony focused on the club’s history.

“Today, we salute the Navy Club employees, past and present, for their faithful service to generations of servicemembers and their families stationed in Seoul,” Franchetti said.

The closure is due to the relocation of U.S. Naval Forces Korea headquarters to Busan in July and the move by other naval personnel further south to Camp Humphreys.

The restaurant was established in 1969 as Parker’s Place. In 1975, it became an official U.S. Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation outlet and was rechristened with its current name.  [Stars & Stripes]

I bought the Navy Club jeepney for 300 bucks from DRMO.

I’m thinking of setting up bus tours around Songtan and Anjung-ri.

“If you look to the left at that empty lot filled with concrete rubble, you will see where the Filipina juicies used to do a banana show every night at 10pm. Over on the right in that empty storefront you could get an under-table handy for ten bucks. The out-of-business love motel up ahead was the site responsible for a lot of divorces and a lot of unplanned marriages, as well. After our lunch of pigeon sticks, watered-down beer, “unregulated” soju, and Miss Klang Burgers, we will have a pole dancing demonstration by a real former Filipina juicy. After the show, she will also be offering the chance to buy her an actual juice to relive those good memories for you old-timers, or for you younger guys, to get off the internet pr0n on you cellphone for a few minutes and see what it is like to be a real man… a stupid real man… but a real man, nonetheless.”

A little geography for Stars and Stripes editors; Camp Humphreys is NOT further south than Busan.
