Thanks to these guys, my wallet is $20 lighter. I was just getting acclimated to the high altitude…read moreof Albuquerque, taken aback by the beauty of the Land of Enchantment, excited for green chile and sopapillas, and was so enchanted that I didn't see that there was a parking meter along the street, which I (allegedly) never fed, (supposedly) breaking some law about violating their precious parking spot, resulting in a ticket. On the ticket, there's a website where you can type in your infraction number, and get the (supposed) evidence against you, such as photos. When I clicked through to see for myself the evidence of my crimes against the people of Bernalillo County that the prosecution had brought against me, the links didn't work. 404 Error. The evidence was missing! I should've been let off right then. However, Bernalillo County doubles (Yes! Doubles!) the price of justice every two weeks, ultimately resulting in incarceration if you don't get a speedy trial or pay up. Since I was a (harshly treated) guest in the town, I was forced to pay up for my (alleged) infraction over the internet, which saved me from having to visit this beautiful building. I drove by the courthouse (in a safe and controlled manner) to shake my fist at this courthouse, and their scheme to ticket out of state drivers who are too enchanted to notice parking meters. If they'd cover them in turquoise or dress them up like a Katchina doll, I'd take notice of them. The courthouse is a nice looking building that I was thankful that I didn't have to visit.

Ok, how you feel about this place undoubtedly depends on why you're here. I was here for jury…read moreduty, so my experience was a pretty good one. If I was here as a defendant, I think I might give it a few less stars... Objectively, the building is very pretty and the security staff are amazingly nice. There is even a little cafe here. On to jury duty. I've done jury duty in several states. This one was by far, hands down, the best... No contest. The staff treat the jurors with such amazing respect. You really feel like they value our time and effort. The staff explain what's going on, even the judges will come down and address the whole group (all 150 of us or so) and let us know the schedule. They provide free drinks too. The most amazing thing was that they let you bring in your electronics! They even have free wifi. Yes, as long as you turn off your phone when you go into the courtroom, you can have it all with you. Wow, so cool and makes the time pass much more pleasantly. I got put on a trial (Judge Flores) and the good treatment continued. Sure, there was snacks and drinks. But this was the first time, ever, that everyone in the court stood up in respect when the jury entered or exited. Even the judge. Wow. And, when the case got dismissed, the judge came in to explain what happened, why, answer questions, etc. Holy crap. Then she asked the prosecution and defense lawyers to come in and explain everything to us. Finally, the judge gave us all signed certificates of appreciation, thanked us by name, and said bye. I was blown away. It may sound weird, but I will not mind at all when I am called back for jury duty.

Since the thing I needed to take care of wasn't available by appt I had to walk in. The person wanted to argue stating I could have made an appt - right until I showed her the online message I got. Appts have priority and walk-ins have to wait. Surprise - a short about 30mins wait. Problem fixed and out I went.

When I entered the bathroom I was shocked by the waft of sewer sludge that stopped me clear in my running path. When I sat down in the stall there was an older man staring at me through the crack; when I emerged he asked me for some drugs. I slid to the sink and jumped at the steaming brown water that sprayed out of the sink. Too hot to the touch. I tried the other sinks and they were all that way. I could finally leave but was followed out by the man that was looking through the crack. I felt very vulnerable!...

The weights and cardio area is small but has the equipment that is needed for a basic workout. The area could be improved with a squat rack, maybe a TRX station, and some more equipment. The indoor pool is nice and clean with 2 lanes. I was told that the water used to be "cleaned" with salt but now chlorine is used. The outdoor pool has always been closed for the season when I've been there so can't say anything regarding that. My biggest complaint is that for the past 3 years, I always went after 5:00PM and there is an alarm that goes off every day that nobody seems to want to fix. It is very loud and rings in 1 second intervals.

One of the many perks of Mariposa's upscale neighborhood is their private community center. I…read morereally like that it's private because it's never overcrowded and it's super clean. They have a gym, an indoor lap pool, an outdoor pool, a nice exercise room, and nice locker rooms inside their large bathrooms. There's a little closet with pool toys that you can borrow while you're at the pool. They also have a room that you can use for parties with seating, extra large refrigerators, a large freezer, a sink area, and plenty of counter space. We had my daughter's 15th birthday party here, and it was a very pleasant experience for all of us. The outdoor pool area is really nice with beautiful landscaping, plenty of seating areas, really large gas grills, and of course a swimming pool. It's really quite a large outdoor area and can accommodate a really large group and not feel even slightly crowded.
