She kept on lying to me saying things like "you come here" just because I seemed underage.

There is no signage that children are not allowed in or on them. I witnessed 2 young boys age 8, 9, 10 running around in there trying to use the tread mills...turning them way up almost getting hurt. I told them they should not play on the equipment. However, there is no supervision, or sign saying "children are not allowed on the equipment". If a child gets hurt up there New Brighton could be sued for no signage stating this. I told the front desk and they said they have cameras watching, but there is nothing to state no children and no help available if they get hurt & the front desk is too busy to watch what is going on up there all the time. This is dangerous for kids and dangerous for NBCC if someone gets hurt.

You can rent it for a fee (sorry I don't know how much) and bring in your own food. You also have to pay for the front desk person to be there while your event is going on. There are multiple other smaller rooms in addition to the large room with kitchen. They decorate for the holidays and have many accommodations you would need (tables/ chairs/ basic kitchen needs). Overall, this place is great!

Member for 4 years…read more Decent workout area with fewer "gym bros" than other more popular fitness centers. Access to the pool and arenas are great. The personnel needs more training on membership programs, facilities, and basic customer service skills. Ask for written information rather than rely on their front desk to provide accurate information. Two people working the same day can have different policy interpretations. This includes the aquatic center staff. I ended up cancelling due to life changes, and what was told to me as a pro-rated cancellation fee, was not true. Had I known, I NEVER would've don't yearly memberships. Losing out on hundreds of dollars due to their poor staff training is not serving the community.

She is very judgmental of people that want to visit there. She lets too many negative comments "fly" out of her mouth. She is quick to judge situations without knowing facts. A very gossipy place. They charge money to elderly people for bakery items that are all donated to the center. Yet, then she/they turn around collect that money and it's "pocketed" into the centers account . Then she has the nerve to say that the money- she charges for the bakery items -is money donated to the center. Not sure how that's ethical.

Next to it is a nice little pool that has a slow incline so kids can walk in and pee. Besides being the voting location in my neighborhood, I also need to go through the park to get on the Green Way. The place also has a bunch of ball fields, basketball courts, tennis courts, a skate park and just places to lounge and grill. And of course, a complimentary bike pump for anyone to use. The unique feature of this park though is the old rocket that used to be a slide and was part of the original playground equipment. The locals got it repurposed into art (see photo) versus it being dismantled as it was no longer meeting safety standards.

Five years ago we sold our large home in the suburbs where we had raised our two daughters. We…read moremoved to a lovely historic house with apartments by the river in downtown St Paul just blocks from this large 1960's Salvation Army. A year later my husband left to homestead his mother's inherited condo. Finding myself alone and unwilling to go to bars, I walked over and joined a women's and a senior's group at this Salvation Army. It was the BEST decision I could have made! Years ago I tutored junior high kids in East Harlem, taught camping hiking skills to inner city fresh air camp kids, was hired on an Antioch work study semester to be the first Spanish interpreter at age 19 at Jacobi ( welfare) municipal hospital in the Bronx, was the first college student hired by the Job Corps working in downtown LA teaching Chicanas how to read, then assisted the Exec Director Robert Coard at Boston's largest Community Action $20 million program ABCD right out of college. My last job in the public sector was as an EEO Officer for CETA under the Dept of Labor for 10 counties in Massachusetts. (James Q.Stevens, head of EEO for Region One for the Dept of Labor counseled me to strive to go " high" in the corporate private sector then later move to government at a more effective level. I did for 20 years.) I spent four wonderful years within the Salvation Army, participating in their programs, accepting some of their wonderful donated food from Lunds and Byerlys , and observing TWO citadels' ( other on Noble Parkway, minneapolis) staff and participant children, families. SO many social service programs allow their staff to help themselves FIRST to all donations given the program. This is WIDESPREAD in almost all food shelves.... Not here at Salvation Army. This is a church that does not aggressively prosytelize to participants. Instead they maintain order in the HUGE food give aways through more " Christian" philosophies in crowd control for the homeless and the low to middle income. ( They welcome and conduct Sunday church services for those interested.) These populations FILL this ( and other) Salvation Army 3-5 days a week waiting patiently for the LARGEST food giveaways ( almost a full grocery cart, folding style cart) I have ever seen in my life. All these people would be starving if it were not for the Salvation Army that DAILY send trucks to their local supermarkets to pick up almost expired food. So you find the homeless, students, seniors, immigrants and middle class folk that are unemployed altogether waiting for this food. This is a MAMMOTH undertaking. This Citadel and some others also run an official food shelf but only for qualified residents in their specific assigned region of care. These food banks help those who qualify with utility bills just before disconnect, sometimes a little for rent, finding housing, sometimes clothing/ warm jackets blankets, hats mittens gloves, and at this Citadel an Annual children's' NEW winter coat give away, etc. etc etc. TRULY AMAZING care. They have after school programs and day care at prices according to what people can afford. They have in EVERY major city the VERY BEST program in the country for SUCCESSFULLY helping folk quit drugs. I know, for in Virginia I would bring many inner city and other young people to their FULL year live-work-in programs. In Virginia ( and in every state), we had a brand new homeless shelter specifically for women and children. I would bring donations of food etc to this beautiful immaculate building. My four years in the Citadels of St Paul and Brooklyn Park, were wonderful. I developed lasting friendships with some women who had found themselves homeless and in their 70's ( now in public housing). I saw many homeless shelters and helped another young woman from Arkansas who had been to the Dignity Center in Minneapolis. My most favorite time was going on a women's Arts and Crafting weekend up north in the Salvation Army camp-- hadn't done this since my teens! Their only means of gaining income is through their Christmas Holiday Bell Ringing and some from donations through the year. ( I bell rang 3 years at Macy's in Roseville! COLD!). Donations have tragically substantially dropped in the last few years, so they had some staff layoffs and elimination of a few programs here at this Citadel. Salvation Army does back breaking work for the hundreds of suffering folk in downtown St Paul and spends EVERY cent on helping those in need. Their limited staffs live very frugally. I don't agree with some of their political views, but I deeply deeply respect their INTENSE HARD work in helping SO many impoverished frightened folk. Without all the back breaking work Salvation Army does nationally in ALL our communities, people would be suffering very very severely today.

Buffalo has a couple of these but nothing quite compares to the ones here, and one of them is Saint Anthony Village. It actually has a huge Mall as part of it although it's in the City of Roseville technically - I'm not really sure how they define these things. Saint Anthony is sort of within Roseville. It's a nice affluent part of town a few miles north of downtown, with absolutely horrendous traffic. I like it and on the other hand I don't like it because of the traffic. It is the most popular Mall in town other than the gargantuan Mall of America. A lot of people from all over the area come to these parts if they don't want to Brave the massive Mall of America.
