I have driven up the 5 freeway twice since I posted the story. When I drive over the area that used to be the Rodger Young Village, I try to imagine that the Quanset huts are still there. When there are ten freeway lanes (just on the 5 freeway) crossing the area, it is very difficult to imagine the old housing area you are crossing over.

I also had never heard of the Rodger Young Village until I accidentally ran across it a couple of weeks ago. In everything I read, the people who lived there were very happy and thankful for the opportunity to live there.
