MESSY BUSINESS—On
the hallowed grounds of a former Navy training facility turned shopping mall,
is a new art exhibit called “Chow: Feeding a Navy. It one time the facility was the largest mess
hall ashore that fed sailors and staff simple meals from simple menus.
The exhibit is being held thru Dec. 28, 2014 at NTC at
Liberty Station, Building 201 Gallery, 2820 Roosevelt Road.
CHOW is part of a ten museum, year-long celebration of the
military history of San Diego from Presidio to Pacific Powerhouse.

Since then, San Diego has been a training ground for all
services of the United States military and today, San Diego is still
inextricably tied to the United States military with naval, Marine, and Coast
Guard installations scattered throughout
the county. The United States Navy is the second-largest employer in the county
and many of the service members who have come through the region during their
enlistments have stayed and started families. Many have started their own
businesses as contractors to the United States military.
Throughout its existence, San Diego has been impacted in
some way by the military’s presence and has benefitted from its proximity as
well. Presidio to Pacific Powerhouse: How the Military Shaped San Diego is a
nine-museum collaboration that tells the story of San Diego’s relationship with
our military.
The San Diego History Center is the exhibition’s hub with
nine other museums telling supplementary stories! Pick up a Tour of Duty
