The American settlement is almost a city in itself, with its own school, church, cinema, gas station, kindergarten and the "Commissary", where you can buy everything from a bar of chocolate to a pretty summer dress. Over five thousand people live here, in modern residential buildings, and most of them feel "at home", even though their home, their hometown, is many thousands of kilometres over the ocean, in the New World.

美国人居住区几乎就是一个城市，拥有自己的学校，教堂，电影院，加油站，幼儿园和“小卖部”，在那里你可以买到任何东西，从一块巧克力到美丽的夏装。 超过五千人住在这里的现代化公寓楼里，大多数人都感到“像在家里一样”，即使他们真正的家，他们的故乡，在大洋彼岸，数千公里远的新世界。

Compared to them, the noise of the Hercules sounded pretty pleasant. And even a sports airplane, which flew over the airfield of the C130 in approximately 300 meters height, was only insignificantly quieter than the large machine. A witness who lives next to the airfield said:“ When the window is closed, you do not even notice that the plane is there.”

Accompanying American liaison officer Harry Conners reported that one-third of the apartments had been fully renovated, with the remainder partially renovated. The renovated apartments also had their own meters for water, gas and electricity, which is for a later occupancy of the apartment important. Conners also showed the Lord Mayor a range of new and well-maintained community facilities such as schools, kindergartens, the dental clinic (perhaps the new domicile for the Academy of Dental Education, as Seiler suggested), or a daycare center.
