The Blue Angels Air Show is March 10 this year (2018). This is the only day in ages that we have…read morerain and, seriously, overcast. So much that we doubt you will see the places for the clouds. The good news is it won't be hot. It is closer to the town of Seeley, California, if you make the drive. The base has this event planned very well. The line is long so they divide it into two where you enter. You follow the cars to the parking area, passing numerous sentries to keep you going in the right direction or if you have questions. They pack you in close-we couldn't open our doors completely. Locals don't park on the base but instead park at the end of the runway and watch the planes take-off from there. You miss seeing the planes up close and the ground events, though. Next year, we will definitely do that! We actually ended up leaving early because of the rain. We see the Blue Angels practicing every day, except Sunday, starting just after the first of the year. They practice early with only 4 planes and, only at the end, bring all together. Seeing all 6 planes flying so close is amazing. I recommend stopping out in February to see the planes practice. You see all sorts of planes and helicopters doing maneuvers. One of my other favs is the V-22 Osprey. It is so unusual. Bring lawn chairs, water and a picnic basket to have a nice day.

I like to call this place the "Imperial County Jail" but the Herbert Hughes Correctional Center is…read moreits official name. Right next door they have the Regional Adult Detention Facility which is mostly used to house federal inmates awaiting transfer to San Diego. They call the Correctional Center "the jail" and the Detention Facility "the camp" when you visit. They also have a custody court attached to the jail (criminal proceedings for incarcerated arrestees) and the sheriff's office, all at the above address. Coming to this jail is alot like I imagine going to a jail in the rural south would be like. It's super hot, everyone moves real slow and there is nothing you can do about it. Imperial County is the closest thing we have to the rural south in Southern California and even though the area has seen rapid growth and even suburbanization, the jail is the same as it always was.

I moved back here after a divorce because i have a daughter and thought family here would help. Im educated, friendly, outgoing, and this place has been so disappointing. There are no jobs. Im met with such hostility as a mexinan-american girl who doesnt speak spanish. so many mexi-cali residents take the jobs here from california residents even the low skill jobs or retail jobs. its so sad. People are so unfriendly. very toxic here. very small-town mentality of people dont want to know you if they didnt know you as a child.people dont want you to do better than them and you can feel the envy radiate off people. High obesity rate. the residents here are getting ripped off by the rising cost of living but tbh they deserve it.

Faxed it over and called back and BOOM. Approved. Very simple instructions. Maybe it was too easy for you to grasp or you must of been too busy with school be able to sign a request that you are providing to a court. You said their systems are outdated but you were able to keep up with it haha sorry that's too funny. Actually I was going to mail in my request but luckily I called and they gave me an option to fax it in to get to them faster. I feel you though that the traffic court didn't work around to your conveince but you do have to go by their policies. As far as customer service they aren't retail keep that in mind but I'm sure you were a total sweet heart on the phone with them as well right? How dare they treat you rudely because you didn't want to sign your request. Hope you were able to learn from the experience and follow directions next time.

There is also a good sized parking lot plus some parking on the street. We came in at 11:00-the start of lunch rush on a Friday to weigh and get postage for our tax envelope. There was a short line but it moved pretty fast despite all the different requests. Including our complicated one since we wanted a return request but we were not mailing it today. But the woman was very nice and very helpful. And she figured out how to get it done for us. It's a post office. They are usually short handed for the number of people who come in during the rush at noon or after work. No one likes to wait in line and, luckily, we usually don't have to go here. I will even pay more to go to a UPS store to send things rather than a post office. However, we will come back to this one because it's quite nice.
