Pfffft. Olongapo in early 1991 made TJ look like Romper Room. Although for a price I'm sure Olongapo could have supplied all of the Romper Room cast for whatever you had in mind.
I wonder what Olongapo has turned into these days.
I always thought TJ's main attraction was alcohol for those under the age of 21. Base commanders in SoCal used to try to obtain onbase drinking waivers for the 18-20-year-olds in order to encourage them to drink at the base clubs stay away from risky TJ behavior. Local (offbase) authorities knew that this would have 18-20s from the local colleges & high schools trying to get onbase to hang out with the sailors and then driving home afterward...
