Front desk Social Security employee(Carmen) at the Lodi office needs more OJT(on the job training)…read more My wife needed to add a middle initial to her social security card to match exactly her drivers license and the social security employee (Carmen) told us that she needed all original copies of birth certificate and birth certificate translation and gave us an appointment for two days later. My wife went to talk to the same lady the next day to see if she could change the time of the appointment and Carmen was rude and said what appointment? I'm not going to work the front that day. So my wife drove all the way to Sacramento to get an original birth certificate at her country's consulate and brought it back and another lady(Mrs Fisher) who assisted her, and told my wife she didn't need the originals, that copies were fine just to add a middle initial to the social security card. Mrs Fisher provided much better service and was nice, not rude at all like Carmen. All the unnecessary time, gas, money and frustration and unnecessary rudeness because of an incompetent lady(Carmen) that does not know her job and gives incorrect information. Incredible. Fire or retire her.

This area has a few government buildings and some nifty sculptures and a water feature in the All Veterans plaza, worth the visit. The Italian renaissance structure is impressive and the nighttime accent lighting showed off its features. Couldn't help but notice the homeless settling in for the night - just to the right of the entrance. Would have liked to walk the veterans plaza but frankly we were alone and safety was a concern but it did not deter us from the sidewalks to admire the architecture. Fantastic to see cities like this make a name for themselves and watch them grow. A must visit especially if you enjoy murals, history and of course wine.

This review is long overdue but I came in here a few months ago. The gentlemen in security is…read moreamazing! This review is not for the building or security but for the records office where you can get your birth certificate. I went in and a lovely lady assisted me. She was polite and friendly, advised me of the process and so I completed it. After I took everything back up to her, she advised me it would be a quick wait and to have a seat. At the time, I was on disability due to a previous TORN MCL injury, so I could not stand long. Mind you, I even had a minor limp. I was told I could have a seat by the nice representative processing my request. As soon as a I sat down, some guy who was not even ASSISTING me that was behind the glass, told me I needed to stand up and wait for my turn? Despite me already being assisted but everyone else was sitting? Just because one had a child and another was elderly.... why couldn't I sit down? I felt this rep needs a refresher in disability rights and to learn how not to discriminate. Not ALL disabilities can be seen by the naked eye. I am not the type to argue especially in a government/city building so I stood up and when the lady noticed this, she quickly tried to process my request to get me in and out. After a few minutes, I sat back down because of the pain I was feeling in my knee. The man, however, needs an attitude check and a reminder by HR to leave your problems at the door when clocking in to work. If the process is to not sit (which doesn't make sense.... not everyone can stand for long periods to fill out forms oR at the computer) then you should be mindful of that. Have some signs up maybe if that's the policy !

Hahahaha ok so normally I would NOT write a review about a police dept, as who wants their name…read moreassociated in ANY way with the police, right!? BUT, today is different! While picking up my child from school, I noticed 2-3 officers driving around. Didn't think anything of it, as Lodi is pretty quiet, and most officers are known and friendly. As I was walking back to my car, my son said "look mom, the police is giving that lady a ticket"! I looked over, and yep, there was this mother who I barely know personally (but word is she is not mom of the year) getting a ticket! Hahahahahaha priceless, as she is someone who definitely deserves it, and should have received numerous tickets 2 years ago when she was stuffing 3 kids & her own friends into a super tiny car WITH hers on the front seat without a car-seat. So Lodi P.D. you def made my day (not hers though!) and I appreciate you watching out for the kids, who obviously should be cared for more safely by the ones who brought them into this world. Unfortunately some parents have a lax attitude, so if the P.D. has to enforce safety rules, so be it!

I appreciate the Lodi PD, they are running short staffed and doing the best they can…read more A special shout out to Lt. Latino, he took the time to really talk with me and explain things, he was very sympathetic to my frustration.

"Pretty Tree, Pretty Monument, Pretty Utility Payment Drop off box"…read more Calling City Hall a historical landmark might be a wee bit of an exaggeration. If there is a lot of history around this building, it escapes me. City Hall is a moderately-sized, old rectangular building. The day that I visited, it was locked, but I watched people drop off their utility payments in a box on the front door. That was perhaps not the highlight of my day. At this location, there are cool, relaxing views. After you finish watching people drop off their utility payments, you can read the whale monument, or have a seat and watch the fisherman. This is also a pleasant place to go for a stroll along the water. At City Hall itself, you can check it out in about 2 minutes. There are dilapidated bathrooms around the left side near the back. You can also watch dogs jump into the water near the boat launching ramp. I only saw dogs jumping into the water. I did not see any utility customers jumping into the water after dropping off their payment-- but if they jumped really fast, I might have missed them. Pleasant area for a quick visit, but don't expect a diamond attraction here.
