WHY nobody wants to call this facility by its full name astounds me, but it's the Apache Junction Multi-Generational Center. It's between the Apache Junction Police Department and the Apache Junction Library on Idaho Road.
They offer various physical activities for family members of all ages. Membership costs $200/year. The only problem is, like the library, the parking lot is a hellish nightmare, and looks as if it were designed by a committee of second grade finger painters. Ridiculous, useless concrete abutments flow out at random, obstructing cars and pedestrians alike. Trying to find a parking spot is all but impossible, especially with so many larger vehicles hogging spaces needed for the public and the handicapped.
Separate locker rooms with toilet and shower facilities are provided for men and women. One younger member of the staff at the main entrance, doesn't seem to follow rules. His job is to "secure" the showers: that is, to make sure nobody attempts to use them after 8:30 pm, despite their being advertised as available until 9 p.m. However, his allowing small kids of both genders to run rampant in and out of the men's shower stalls while they're in use, isn't his worst offense. It's the fact he refuses to advise anyone there is no hot water in either the showers or the sinks. There aren't even any spigots for hot water.
The City Goofballs who run Apache Junction need to have someone with authority re-evaluate their priorities in deciding what's best for their citizens. Freezing temperatures, cold showers and no light to work in are unacceptable by any Idiot City's standards. Even Third World countries aspire to do better,
Otherwise, most of the staff members are dedicated, truly wonderful folks who love their job and are a joy to work with, especially in the senior meals lunch department. read more
