Has anyone been to Vinnell's (old) new dormitory at the Camp? How does it compate to the ROC?

ROC was swell, real house (villa) , real streets, facilities you would expect
on a proper Riyadh compound. Total freedom really. Transition to the camp which is adjacent to King Fahad Stadium, no man's land, the scene of the crime, and in high-rises reminiscent of Chicago projects. Like most things over time, things were better before than they are today.

And what has become of the ROC? Has it reverted to family residences for Saudi National Guard officers?
