Dubai City, Dubai
United Arab Emirates
July 14, 2009
Javier Corbray walked into the ICON Bar in the Radisson Blu Hotel, his gaze traveling over the dim interior, taking it all in at once—the upscale décor, the busy wait staff, the near-to-capacity crowd of expats enjoying Happy Hour. It wasn’t his scene. He wasn’t even sure what he was doing in Dubai. He’d be back in the States now if he hadn’t let JG talk him into playing tourist.
“You’ve got to see Dubai City,” JG had said. “The buildings, the expat nightlife, the luxury cars—that place will blow your mind. Did I mention the indoor ski resort?”
Only about five times.
The city was amazing. Burj Al Arab. The Jumeirah Emirates Towers hotel. Al Kazim Towers. The artificial island of Palm Jumeirah with its long central avenue. Burj Khalifa, soon to be the world’s tallest building.
The city dripped with wealth—oil dollars and foreign investment. But Javier would rather be putting together a barbecue with his dad in his folks’ backyard in the South Bronx or home in San Diego than wandering around Dubai City in the 105-degree heat staring at architecture. And when it came to the beaches, nothing here couldpare to the beaches of Puerto Rico.
Still, being a tourist for a few days wasn’t a bad idea. He could use a little dpression time. It had been a long and rough deployment, one that had seen him and the other men of Delta Platoon caught between the mandate to win hearts and minds and their primary mission as SEALs—to kick ass and take names.
At least they hadn’t lost anyone this time around.
A young man approached him, menu in hand. “Just one tonight?”
Javier nodded.
“This way, please.”...
The dpression that ultimately resulted in this mineral water lake was formed by the water that crashed over Dry Falls.
I replaced the pulls on all of my drawers and cabinets (kitchen, bathrooms, bedroom furniture) with colored dpression glass knobs. Everything looks soooo much better!
This building was built right before the Great Depression. After it was built, the Great Dpression hit and the owners went bankrupt, so they had to sell the building. It is rumored that one of the owners was so depressed by the loss that he jumped to his death from the top of the building.
