Sheesh, you should'a seen the place before the remodel. What an upgrade!…read more I lived nearly a stone's throw from this Community Center for a good decade, so I have a take on the neighborhood that influences my rating. First, the obvious accolades: This enormous, modern-ish facility offers plenty of the communal goods it was rebuilt to offer. Senior citizens own mornings and early afternoons, and men of all ages crowd the basketball courts later in the day -- when we're not in the midst of a pandemic, that is. There's a game room, lots of meeting rooms, and a good exercise room... which is where they can do better. When our oldest was 16 years of age, she attempted to use the exercise equipment and was told the policy was 18+. The Duranes neighborhood, nearly every block, is classic old Albuquerque planning: very agrarian, incredibly narrow streets, and no sidewalks. Running and even walking anywhere is dangerous. This Community Center offers an exception to that rule, and it should expand its age restrictions.

The Los Duranes Community Center is tucked away directly between the river and the IPCC. It is…read moredescribed as a hidden gem, and that is accurate! Typical of our Community Centers, Los Duranes is open Mon-Sat and offers after-school programs, senior meals, a variety of fitness classes, and an open gym for 18+. My company recently used the community center for an all-day event, and the kids working the desk were attentive and helpful to both our organization and the public. I recommend locals check out what their community center has to offer!

I'm going to hope I "donut" fall in the process. :-) I've been to this park quite a few times noatly in the evening when it isn't as hot as it is today. The trails are nice, level, dry, sandy and the terrain or lack thereof is mostly xeriscape meaning rocks, New Mexican weeds (but to those that arent from NM call this landscaping beautiful) a few cacti here and there. Still in spite of the dryness I enjoy my walks here. The park has a playground and lush grass growing and lots of trees. The CC isn't open on Sunday's so I cant review that. If your in the area stop by for a walk on the trails or let the kiddos run wild in the playground.... :-)

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.

They only take appointments but you can make them in advance or on the kiosks in the lobby for a later time that day. At first it's a chaotic scene and there's no one there to tell you how to check in. But it becomes apparent pretty quicly. Unfortunately there's really no explanation how to use the kiosks and a large number of confused people trying to use one of the two machines. I'm fortunate because I worked in tech for 30 years and am comfortable with computers. But the elderly and non native English speakers in front of me could have used a friendly face to help them out. Appointment is a bit of a misnomer, it's more like a window. My appointment was at 10 and once I got my number it was another good 20 minutes before I was called. But the TV system is clear and lets you know where you are in the order. The clerk who helped my was sufficiently friendly and quickly walked me through the process and I was out of there about 45 minutes after checking in. DMVs are one one of those strange places, like jury duty where you see all types of people. I heard at least two people yelling at the clerks for no apparent reason. Come on, try to be nice, they're doing the best they can in a chaotic environment.
