The fitness center, although it looks run down, here has all the equipment you need and never gets as busy as 24 hour fitness or equinox. I haven't tried it yet, but have noticed the bowling alley and tennis courts. The monthly Bingo events are always something fun to look forward to. I did not realize how intense the games can get, and am still hoping to win one day. They also offer affordable Wednesday night dinners that are catered and the drinks are cheap ($2 beers). If you want to become a member, don't hesitate!

I really enjoy the gym, steam room, sauna, and jacuzzi on a weekly basis. The people here always say hi and are very friendly. I might be on the younger side but don't mind learning from our older members. Everyone here is very respectable and great. I like taking my kids here over the summer to the pool to enjoy. They also have a cantina bar to enjoy a cocktail or beer under the sun. They also have Wednesday night dinners for a reasonable price. Also throughout the year they have many events to enjoy. I would recommend checking them out.

Not a lot of people were there, so it was a relaxing environment to talk to them in. We got so many drinks -- they're typical prices for bars, but I am very glad about my selection being drinks I thoroughly enjoyed. Jarrito Jam was my first one, it was delicious, but I honestly bought it to hold the little clay pot it came in. Nutty By Nature was my second drink. I enjoyed it, but it lacked the pistachio aspect of the flavorings. Orange Crush was my third drink and I loved it more than Nutty By Nature. My spouse got a Tiki Track and Tropicana and loved both of them a lot! I also loved my spouse's Tropicana drink and plan on getting it tonight when we go back to get my wallet I left there! Thank you to the people who picked up the phone today and helped me locate my wallet!

The teachers and the DJs should all be good. The Imperial Ballroom is not far from Foresters Hall, the Swing Central location, and a great dance floor. The grand opening was Saturday, 12 January 2008 and very well attended. I highly recommend checking out The Rhythm Lounge. It looks like a typical schedule will be: 8pm - 9pm - Beginner Swing Lessons 8pm - 9pm - Intermediate Swing Lessons 9pm - midnight - Open Social Dancing Check the website for the actual schedule.

It's another great…read moreswing dance put on by the people who run Swing Central, and seems to draw a similar (very friendly) crowd. I made it for the first time last night, and will certainly be making it a new part of my dance habit... (The next ones are June 13 and July 4, I think.) This month there was an intermediate class at 7 and beginner class at 8; the teachers were helpful and engaging, and found a good balance between fun and challenging for classes with a pretty wide range of skill levels. Social dancing was from 9 to midnight. The DJ, one of my favorites from Swing Central, played a great mix -- he always seems to do a good job paying attention to the energy of the room and varying the mood and tempo accordingly, keeping people happily dancing for the whole night. They're at a new venue in Burlingame starting this spring, which is a nice space for dancing. The dance floor is smooth and feels spacious although it's not huge; it stayed pretty busy for most of the dance, but in a way that mostly felt intimate rather than crowded. There's a kitchen area off to one side, with water and some snacks, and a kind of lobby area near the entrance that was good for cooling off and chatting. Unlike some other dances, where the really good dancers tend to keep to themselves in one corner, here people were doing a lot of mingling, even more so than at Swing Central. I'm pretty shy, but got asked to dance several times, and found many people approachable enough to do some asking myself.

The crowd is very local, but the vibe felt more like a cruise-ship crowd -- and we were easily the youngest people in the bar by 15-20 years. When my girlfriend and I walked in, a lot of attention from other patrons made her uncomfortable, which took away from the experience. On the positive side, the bartenders were cool and efficient. We were served quickly, and service has never been an issue here. There's also a large patio in the back, which is a great feature.

I went to grab a drink with my Latino friend and we hadn't even tried to order a drink yet when the bartender placed two glasses of ice water on the counter and made a big deal about saying we were "done". The kareoke was soooo bad we were on our way out anyways but the aggressively presented ice water made us ask "why". This resulted in the bartender ringing some cowbell thing and a mob of people came up forcing us outside and then one of the people from the mob took it upon himself to slam my friend down and put him in a choke hold. Luckily I was able to stop him and we left. We have filed a police report.

But you don't feel like you have enough time. Hands On Bay Area is such a cool vehicle for volunteering without commitment. Sign up, show up, do your 2-3 hours and go home. And if you find a project you really love, you can volunteer every month (most are recurring) or contact the agency to become a regular volunteer. I do wish they had more things I could do with my very young girls. I want to raise them to enjoy volunteering, and most of these projects only welcome older children. But we did do a "With Seniors" visit and a good time was had by all. Our new elderly friend Dorothy really connected with my 5 year old daughter. Meet great people, give back to the community, have fun doing it.
