 Pattonville, before and after
The new 'state cabin' street names are a compromise of sorts. Common yardsticks are hard to come by. (Middle East Peace Accord names were chosen for the Burgholzhof extension at Robinson Barracks.) Municipal boundaries in red.

East side, some mirage licence

East side
|  Pattonville
Old core substance, blueprint hauntingly familiar. One building holds one company, old reckoning. Should have made aerial reconnaissance fairly easy at the time. The dormer windows are a standard feature. Favored lecture room location. (A spare key rather helpful if you need alternative sleeping quarters. Sometime adviseable.)
|  Pattonville
Still old core substance but more thoroughly revamped.
[For the billboard segue, see the building with the tractor in front.]
|
 Pattonville
Core substance, fenced plots. The balconies will be a recent addition. The former Wehrmacht style did tend towards the austere.
|  Pattonville
core substance, bicycles and barbecue grills are eternal
|  Pattonville
Waiting for occupany. The farm tractor sports one of those drawing bridge type moving blades. All set up for a dandelion massacre.
|  Pattonville
all bright and bushy tailed
|  Pattonville, chapel
The chapel is still all denominational (within reason).
|
 Pattonville
Chapel front. Possibly still the old building number.
|  Pattonville
Stylish streetlight. The birch leaves make always for a good backdrop. Animated with life even in a picture.
|  Pattonville, Elementary School
No change in function. (Just a different set of teachers. The imprinted mind will survive it.)-
The concrete looks hardly Panama Canal grade.

|  Pattonville
Container banking. The old teller machines (different location) were completely dismantled.
|
 Pattonville
Under construction. There is always an unfinished phase IV.
|  Pattonville
Under construction. The smell of wet concrete still pervades the area. - Probably picked that up from a third party brochure. As long as it is half way appropriate.
|  Pattonville
Lombardy poplars. Propagated nearly exclusively by stem cuttings.
|  Pattonville
building shell
|  Pattonville
some kids see everything

 Pattonville
This one should ring a bell but I cannot quite make the connection.
|  Pattonville
Brand new track and field facility. - I never found out if the old Pattonville had any swimming facilitis. Would certainly have been in the best Roman tradition. On the economy swimming somewhat out of character.
|  Pattonville
Superannuated Little League baseball and softball net. (Lack of enthusiasm either way may be forgiven. I was never very good at team sports.)
|  Pattonville
Country Club. The sprawling golf course dotted with champignons. Might conceivably also be puffballs. There is an easy way to find out. (Some might call it the puffball shuffle.)
|  Pattonville
Looks like the rear of a cinema (you just have to strip away all those encrouching 'lean-tos' and you will get there). - Map says High School auditorium, so be it.
|
 Pattonville
High time somebody would teach those toothpaste folks from Proctor & Gamble how to spell. [Toothfairy truth: I should probably know how it feels.] There are some swallow nests under the roof overhang to the left. Those aerial acrobats probably share my own ignorance on rappers and their Quechua stage names. (The full form seems to mean 'fiery wyvern'.)
|  Pattonville
Between duvet day and spring cleaning. Main thing, sun bagging.
Either that or a keeled over snowman.
|  Pattonville
Post APO era. The red bordered plaque right beneath the dead end street sign should indicate the distance to the next submersed hydrant in Cartesian shorthand. - [Do not know how you submerse fire hydrants after a handover. Maybe hydraulic.]
|  Pattonville
The green bins are for bio-degradable skin of toad, yellow ones for cheese rinds and banana peels. Details in Macbeth.
|  Pattonville
Mix of solar roof panels (left hand ) and hot water plumbing. Stars and Stripes shorthand: DoD goes 'Dudim'. (The name is derived from a special topknot type of hairdo for elderly ladies. Rather restricted usage, both name and hairdo. Somewhat country specific.)
|
 Pattonville
Closed high noon shutters. Would be careful with that balcony railing. Could be piping hot.
|  Pattonville - Kornwestheim
Realtor's billboard. Only thing missing is a chandelier swinging Weissmueller. As for the price tag: How about 2 sq meter of berth space.
|  Pattonville
various window shapes
|  Pattonville
Bastogne Boulevard now JFK-Allee
|  Pattonville, JFK-Allee
Using the tinted windows of a passing car as an impromptu Cokin filter. Thrifty if I say so.
|
 Pattonville, JFK-Allee
Where did all those school bus type shuttle buses go. ('Lazy hand' type front door opener, non hydraulic.) - Not every housing center did have its own PX so there was a fair amount of shuttle bussing.
|  Pattonville
Veltheimia bracteata, orange pompom tassels, pitch hitting as seasonal palm tree. Both monocots. Supporting cast: Stonecrop and Carthusians.
|  Pattonville
pedestrians
|  Pattonville
Double your garage space. (How about gecko shoes. Double your living room space.)
|  Pattonville
Looks like a leftover Arts n Craft shop project [do not like this pic technically, disrupted background, unequal lighting, but there is a hint of underlying humor. From armored vehicle to rackwagon. All it takes is a special kind of pixie dust. - A national rack wagon day - hard landing - is unlikely.]
