When I got there the esthetic was minimalist and three meals per day were served with such courtesy announcements as "get chow or starve." The in stay entertainment was industry standard, standard TV channels. This was not a fun trip but it motivated me to make changes. I hope that my next vacation destination is elsewhere.

I thought about writing a book review and rank all of them, but then I realized I'd have to get arrested over and over across the country so eh. Avoid Birmingham Jail at all costs though

Pioneers of EVIL. Someone didn't file paperwork after I got a DUI-In Control (I parked in my…read moreapartment parking spot, took a Xanax, and fell asleep as I hadn't slept in days) so a warrant went went out for my arrest. Wasn't read my Miranda Rights, wasn't told why I was being arrested, denied a phone call, and put in solitary confinement for 5 days. Never did an officer talk to me. The food delivery person asked why I stopped eating and told him such. He went and got me a phone call and that's how I got out. The food deliverer is more ethical than the devils who run the place.

My son recently was taken here, it is in the middle of remodeling. On his first court date I…read moreattended, there was a nice lady to check you in and guide you to where you needed to be, she even walked us there. My son has told me he never wants to go back but that he will miss the staff and some kids he met there. When I went to visit, I could sit right by him and rub his back... I felt sad for my son but knew he was facing his consequences there. It seemed low key during visiting but i don't know how he felt when he had to go back to where he came from. Another positive I noticed was he was attending school inside the facility.

Bought a condo here late 2021. It's really been wave after wave of corrupt HOA members and…read moreproperty management companies, racist neighbors, and at least racially biased cops. Lots of spineless white people that only want your money and make a point of looking out for white people first. Black people are 7.2 times more likely to be cited for non-violent infractions in this city. Believe it and count on the cops coming up with more excuses than solving problems or making arrests when Black people are the victims. Non-White services have been great here however. From car repair, law offices, and food services, always having nice and friendly people that you'll make a point of seeing again and again. Nightlife leaves a lot to be desired.

I grew up in Des Moines & now I'm back (by choice this time)!…read more This city has an extremely central location, 10 min. to the Southcenter Mall, 20 min. or less to downtown Seattle, 20-ish min to Tacoma and in the right place you'll get a view of the Cascade & Olympic mountain ranges (including Mt. Rainier!!)! The people are ridiculously nice, and having quite a few retirement communities & well regarded schools, Des Moines has a friendly & accessible social environment. Downtown Des Moines has a mix of new boutique restaurants & community owned stores. On the 4th on July there's a marina fireworks show & mid summer there's a truly charming parade, local carnival, & farmers market. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Des Moines to anyone as a great place to visit & an ever better place to live!

I've never photographed birds so…read moreI'm not familiar with any of the techniques that I saw you ladies use for some that turned out quite well indeed. I do hope that I can continue to converse with everybody and get to know everyone a little better. I know to pick up photography with a semi-educated grin knowing that my propensity for loving music is on another level. I came to find that I was not a good technical guitar player at all, but I had a knack for putting songs together so within 12 months of playing I put together seven songs two of which one of my Hooters roommate her band buddies driving through and he actually played two of my songs on their set at the stage that night so that was a pretty cool thing to see for somebody to who's really technically professional and traveling as a testing guitarist to tell you that the music you're coming out with is desirable and good and it just really stuck with me. So I just realized that I've been feeling phone calls and also dealing with the neighbors here and there whilst cleaning up some of the air water dam

I would not apply here. It is a workplace, full of cronyism, favoritism, sexism, racism & ageism…read more I have a longtime friend who is an officer. He has been on the force for years. He was purposely moved to a less than ideal shift because they' are trying to force him to retire. That is not an assumption. He is not the only officer to be targeted. There are several lawsuits pending where officers are alleging discrimination. Deanna Nollette, gender/sex discrimination. Denise "Cookie" Bouldin, race and gender discrimination, settled for $750,000 in February 2026. Eric Greening, racial discrimination and retaliation. This was settled in 2025 for nearly $1 million. John O'Neil, racial discrimination and retaliation. Settled in August 2025. Lauren Truscott, Valerie Carson, Kame Spencer and Judinna Gulpan: four women who sued together alleging sexual harassment, gender discrimination and hostile-work-environment claims. Their case settled for $2.6 million in June 2026. I do wonder if the entire workplace is poisoned based on these lawsuits.

Due to my sexiness, I was able to seduce the female guard into letting me smoke a cigarette before being locked away. And due to my hilarity, I was able to make the deputy administering the breath-test to get it wrong, making it inadmissible in court. Bonus! There's a healthy amount of pornography pasted to the underside of the bottom bunk in each cell and the staff is more than happy to give you a cell on your own should one be available. Another bonus is that, unless you're a 100LB methhead, it's likely you'll be bigger and better at fighting than anyone in your block. Hooray! My only complaint is the rude 5AM wake-up time, poor game/book selection and grubby telephone that didn't really work.
