Who Can Tell Me What It's Like On Old Ft. Sherman, Ft. Gulick, And Ft. Davis ?

Question

I spent 2 years there in the early 80's and was wondering what they're like now .

How about Coco Solo and Margarita ?

Answer 1

I went to Panama in 2000 and visited Ft. Clayton and Albrook AFB.  These bases have been turned into regular residential housing where the most expensive have been turned into small mansions.  Ft. Clayton will be converted into a huge college campus.  Kinda sad. I lived there for 18 years and miss it.

Answer 2

Panama’s General Plan for the re-conversion of US Military bases in Panama underscores the necessity of preserving Sherman’s biodiversity and recommends environmentally sensitive activities, such as ecological and historical tourism. The general Plan clearly emphasises the importance of preserving the extensive coral reefs along the Caribbean coast near Sherman. According to the study, areas already developed and with existing infrastructure could be used as tourist and community centres. These areas have significant potential for hotel and residential community development.

Since I am in the tourism field and usually tour tourist around Panama, Colon, The Panama Canal, the old city ,  when I have the oportunity of taking some pictures I will gladly send them to you since last month that I went to fort sherman  not much has change .  Now what has really changed has been Fort Clayton, Albrook, Balboa really you would not believe it.  So just keep in touch I will send you some pictures.  Just for additional information I used to work on the bases for 15 years so I know very well this area.
