#4 Thanks to this article, I did some reading on WWII canteens & discovered this gem, now open as a National Historic Landmark, near Canton, OH and not far from where I live.
Place is Dennison, Ohio. It was the 3rd largest canteen in WWII USA, and the only one still having its original appearance. At one time 13% of all WWII US servicemen passed through Dennison.
Place got the nickname "Dreamsville" from this 1942 Glenn Miller tune:
