It's the same buildings but with a face lift they got back in the mid-90s. If you peel back the vinyl siding, you'll see the same old brick buildings that were built in the 40s-60s.
Some housing areas are a bit newer though. Any guess on which ranks gets the newer places?
If you're lucky that is. There are some brick townhouses tucked back deep just past (if I'm recalling correctly) the intersection of Gruber and Knox. They seriously look like they're falling apart, the parking are lots running down the streets and each family is only allotted one assigned parking spot, so I guess for all your other cars its a good luck free for all.
My grandmother lived here off and on during her adolescence because my great-grandfather was stationed here, then she married a soldier and was stationed here with him for some time, so the 60s. She always goes and on and on about how they were small but nice and no one carried that they were small, they were just thankful for the housing, she doesn't understand why military families are complaining about the housing, etc, etc. I told her if I'm going to spend 1000 bucks a month, its not going to be on some ratty two bedroom apartment surrounded by lower enlisted families and couples (because quite frankly, most of them are incredibly immature and lacking in common sense), on a post where the MPs are arguably far worse at their jobs than the FPD. There I go ranting...can you tell I'm not fond of government housing?
On topic, for simplicity's sake I went ahead and purchased an ankle holster. I most likely won't chamber a round when I run as a precaution because of the impact, and it fits on my bicep just like an armband case for an iPod, so if it jostles too much when I run I can try that, and if that doesn't work go from there. I was looking at the stroller and because it is a high end jogger, its very light (great for jogging, bad for weapon mounting). The weight balance is very sensitive, I can't even use the handlebars to hold a light handbag (with my son in the seat) without it almost tipping backwards. And with its main construction being canvas the only other option I could think of was securing it to the top of the canopy, lying flat. However, then those who are up to no good won't be able to see it and I really want that deterrent factor when I run.
Though I am thinking about a belly band holster now, I could just wear it over my clothes and it won't be anywhere near as Rambo as a shoulder holster, lol. The BodyGuard by Magills and Desantis Belly Band both look pretty promising, so that will probably be my next route if ankle/arm carry doesn't work out. Finding a well reviewed belly band holster has been a pain...most don't have retention straps since most people use them for CC and they mostly seem to be designed for nearly the entire gun to go inside of. Not very OC friendly, but I finally found a few.
Thanks for all of your help!
