I live in Springfield, Missouri, which is in the Ozarks, and is about 40 miles from Branson. Violent crime rate in Springfield is pretty high for its size. I think this is because we are on old route 66, and drugs are funneled through here on their way to Chicago. The past 3 or 4 years I have been noticing more young men in Walmart with their jeans hanging down to their knees, showing their underway. Isn't that a sign of gang membership?

Wearing pants that way doesn't necessarily mean gang membership, but I think are usually just a way to feel "cool" and annoy adults, or maybe also just scare or shock people. But they also express feelings of admiration for gang or prison culture. It supposedly partly originated in prisons, where inmates often were given oversized clothing and no belts to avoid self-harm.....with the prisoners continuing this style release. A few places in the country have made wearing sagging pants illegal.....under laws regarding indecent exposure. Here in the east they are a rare sight, and much less common than years ago in response to general negative reactions on the part of almost everyone.

Hello Everyone, This link is the blueprints, furnitures, appliances and other pictures of Honnmoku's Navy housing. This language is Japanese and here are the details of the floor plans of the house by class or number of family members. There were 386 homes in Area 1 and 486 homes in Area 2. https://honmoku.search-japan.com/dependentshousing/Let us both be careful of coronavirus.

I was Japanese, but even 1952-1968 lived aside of the pool of AREA 1.
When saying by the age, it's up to 1 year old-16 years old.
I can't speak English so much, so automatic translation is used, so if it can't be understood, I'm sorry.
At 11 years old, Kenny and Naka became good.
Kenny's father was a manager in tenpin bowling alleys of a phon tree.
I'm a movie theater in a schoolchild's also not showing English, waist. I have the memory by which 3 times also judged a side story.

Nice to hear from someone in my old neighborhood!
My parents and I lived in the Sannotani area, near the middle gate of Area 2. We were a 15 minute walk to the Area 1 swimming pool which was my second home in the summer time.
Are you working in Yokohama?

Mr. Eric
I'll be 70 years old, too and I retire from work.
I live in Yokohama-Cityi near Oofuna.
Oofuna can see a big Buddhist image from the station.

I remember the statue.
My dad purchased a wood statuette of Cannon back 70 years ago.
I'd love to share a picture...

I even like the little bounce the girls make.

Kaoru. I saw the post wishing you a happy birthday. October 9, correct? If that's correct, we share a birthday! I was born in 1956; how about you? :)

Kaoru-san......
A very happy birthday to you......and many more happy, healthy years!
I seem to remember hearing when I was a child there that birthdays/ages are counted differently in Japan than we do in the west.......something about a baby being considered as one year old on the day that it is born, and then subsequent years added on maybe on New Year's day...
Kaoru-san, is that true, and is age still counted that way? Or did I just make this up?
