You must join but the annual fee is reasonable. They have two major events and these help hem be low cost to the community.

I've been a member of the Community Center for a few years now. They offer many different programs…read morefor all ages. But due to work, I have only been able to take a few classes throughout the years. But I do love the variety of classes that they offer and how constant their schedule is. If you are looking for a Japanese school for your child to attend, they offer that. If you would like to just learn more about the community through the different cultural classes, just sign up for the emails and you can be alerted for upcoming classes that they offer. I've taken amigurumi (crochet), ikebana (Japanese flower arrangement), and a cooking class. All of the instructors are great and mostly volunteers. So it just shows you what a great community there is. They have festivals through the year and also help put on the West Covina Cherry Blossom Festival. They also host the West Covina obon at the center but it is organized by the Buddhist church which is based out of the community center. So there is just a lot of activities that you can get involved with.

I have been greeted each time too. My room is huge and I don't feel like I'm away from home, the bed is so comfy, and the room is so quiet. There are lights in various parts of the room so I can read and not disturb my DH while he's sleeping in. The bathroom is great, easy to access, nice hot showers, and I have a fridge for my cold waters each morning. I'm very pleased and grateful for a nice room, great service and close by food. Thank you

They are attentive, respectful, mindful, thorough, and consistent. The psychiatrist I saw was willing to listen to my mental problems and I think June the therapist was a very sweet lady there to just listen which I can always appreciate. I really like the dentist I see. She and the assistants make me feel comfortable and they seem non judgemental. I have the nastiest teeth for a 32 year old. Tsk tsk on me. The substance abuse counselor, Mr. Felix was such a breath of fresh air. He went at my pace and we set realistic goals for my road to recovery. I will always choose their services over anyone else's except I'm in a program which means I have to see my program's psychiatrist only. Very good people and professional :)

Republic of Slowjamastan: The Nation You Didn't Know You Needed!…read more Ever wanted to visit a country that's smaller than your average Costco but ten times more entertaining? Look no further than the Republic of Slowjamastan, a hidden gem off Highway 78 in the middle of literally nowhere. You'll know you've arrived when your GPS starts to laugh at you. The drive alone is an adventure, with nothing but open road and desert as far as the eye can see. Then BAM--out of the dust emerges a tiny "nation" with its own quirky flag, customs, and government (I'm pretty sure the sultan is just the most interesting man in the world). It's the kind of place that makes you question everything you know about borders and citizenship. Who knew sovereignty could be so much fun? This is the perfect spot to bring up at parties. You'll blow everyone's minds when you casually mention, "Oh yeah, I've been to Slowjamastan. No big deal. It's not on most maps yet." Instant conversation starter, and who doesn't love a little international travel brag? Is it ridiculous? Absolutely. But that's what makes it unforgettable. Pack a snack, bring a camera, and prepare to say, "Wait, what?" more times than you thought possible. 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking to spice up their road trip playlist and add "citizen of Slowjamastan" to their résumé.

The place is overflowing with bizarre, fascinating art installations, like a surreal desert gallery that never closes, and always changing. Hard to believe people still call this forgotten stretch of sand home, but mad respect to them. Wandering through this "dead" desert town while surrounded by the art hits on a deeper level, it's haunting, creative, and oddly moving all at once. It stirred up this weird mix of melancholy and awe in me, seeing the creativity of the artists really contrasts with the skeleton of a town. 1000% recommend swinging by the Ski Inn for a drink. It's the perfect cap (or start) to the experience. Also, definitely get here way before sundown, so you have plenty of daylight. We got in around 3pm and it was perfect with a 5pm stop at Ski Inn right before leaving. If you're curious about the backstory, there are some incredible documentaries on YouTube that unpack the strange history here. Highly recommend diving in before or after your visit, it makes the whole place even more surreal.

Right at the entrance, there was a shade tent with a guy trying to sell $5 parking for an art festival happening that weekend. I politely passed. My goal was the Ski Inn for a cold one, and honestly, it was blazing hot, not the day to wander the dusty town. The vibe was surreal. It felt like a mini Burning Man. Ironics were roaming around town in their get-ups, hanging out at RVs and Rivians. There was an overall strange mix of art and chaos. Bombay Beach itself is pretty rough around the edges. There was lots of "art" mixed in with junk and debris. I snapped some photos and wandered the playa, or whatever they call it here. Some pieces were interesting. My favorite was the Elon Musk installation. Eventually, I made it to the Ski Inn, a classic tourist dive bar hangout. I grabbed a cold beer, did a bit of people-watching, and soaked in the scene before heading out. BTW, same place Anthony Bourdain visited sometime around 2006/7 filming his show "No Reservations." Bombay Beach is definitely an oddball destination. Not sure if I would recommend roaming around when there is a big festival, but it has its quirky charm. I would like to return when it is a bit calmer, though honestly, it may just be a spot to experience briefly rather than linger. 3.5 stars

I was nervous, as my art skills are about as plentiful as SoCal snow in July... but Jesse was very encouraging. He made the project easy to follow, collaborated on color choices and techniques, and was patient with us when we were not patient with ourselves. Most of all, he was fun! He helped make sure everyone was enjoying their time and enjoying the project. Since this first party, Jesse has become a friend in this circle of friends. We all know him and several other friends have had him guide their gatherings, too. He's a top-notch artist, very comfortable to be around, knowledgeable, and an excellent teacher. Can I give Jesse more than 5 stars?? Because he's seriously a cut above. Enjoy your time with your friends with Jesse guiding the project! He handles everything with ease and great capability.
