Back in the days, as soon as you left the main gate crossed over S#it River you had Magsaysay St which was solid bars, massage and restaurants. Countless clubs with live bands, anything from Zepplin to country music with go go girls in bikinis and boots dancing on the edges of bandstand. Back then you had Marshall Law so all sailors off the streets by 2400. That entertainment part is all gone in Olongapo, there's still some joints but nothing at all like before. Now Barrio Barreto is the go to place a few minutes down the road. But even that is the tiniest shadow of what Magsaysay used to be. The old Base will not return as before, the Hanjin shipyard nearby (as stated before) is what may be made available to the USN and it's support fleet.

I get the humor, but that 3rd party stuff could happen. Along with joe for round 2.

The US Navy ships have been docking in Subic for many years now. I believe the photo shown is not of the old Subic base but of the shipyard the Koreans had. There was rumors awhile back of the US using the facility for ship vessel repairs (VR) Right now the Navy support ships use S'pore dry docks (Sembawang) for repairs. It would be a win win for both the local economy and the sailors.

Echo chambers are great entertainment. Thank you for the acknowledgment.

Then don't repeat links if you don't want responses.

They represent 3% of mass shootings.

So, we're agreed assault weapons aren't the problem.

In 2020, handguns were involved in 59% of the 13,620 U.S. gun murders and non-negligent manslaughters for which data is available, according to the FBI. Rifles – the category that includes guns sometimes referred to as “assault weapons” – were involved in 3% of firearm murders. Shotguns were involved in 1%. The remainder of gun homicides and non-negligent manslaughters (36%) involved other kinds of firearms or those classified as “type not stated.” This was from your link, "assault weapons" involved in 3% firearm murders.

Injured or killed. Some definitions call it 3 or more. With no separation between violence on the street and such as school shootings.

It's called the Freeport Zone, filled with hotels, restaurants, malls and such.

Each time one uses the term "mass shootings" a definition should follow. When gun opponents talk of mass shootings it's not primarily street gun violence, it's school shootings and the like. Now all these links put the shootings together in one basket and dispel mental illness as a major cause. Even your links do say that mental illness plays a part. The below link says the handgun is the weapon of choice in "mass shootings" But again it doesn't separate the kind of shootings, much the same as saying mental health is a small percentage of shooters. https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/476409/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-weapon-types-used/

Why is the solution to mass shootings banning weapons and not the root problem like mental illness? But the solution to border problem is to combat so called root problem, huh.

Where along Beach Rd are the fireworks at? Map shows at end of Klang.

You've got Apple Restaurant and Chilly's bar. Go on facebook to find.

Grande Is is not far from Baloy Beach, I've taken a bonka boat from Barrio Barreto to go snorkeling off the shores of Grande Is. I just googled it, there's a resort on Grande Is. now.

Not sure about castle, I'm curious. I haven't been to Subic in 4 yrs. As you approach Subic from the sea Grande Island is to your starboard and you veer right for the piers.

Kid Rock

It's not open to the public, back in the day it hosted parties for USN.

Definite buzz kill kind of guy.

These shotguns are nuts, are we going to ban these? https://www.usa-gun-shop.com/7-badass-tactical-shotguns-for-home-defense-mag-capacity/

It would be more fun to swap tales of debauchery from nights in the 1970's and 80's spent on Magsaysay, outside the gates of Subic. That place was the original party place.

Yes, at all times, anywhere and every where you roam.

Given the new age rules for sailors, they couldn't enjoy anyway.

Good news for the sailors. Too bad Olongapo isn't what it used to be.

That corny saying about Trump living rent free in the minds of liberals holds true, dang it.
