The Youth Center served as a Voting Precient. Facilities were adequate with plenty of well spaced distancing, and privacy. Youth Center staff was helpful, and kind.
Not sure about their youth services but their ‘garage sale’ every other Friday is amazing! Beals donates clothings & other goods to them & they sell them for ‘goodwill’ prices - maybe even cheaper! Worth a visit! Get there early for the good stuff but be prepared for the frenzy!
I used to come to this place. I must say it's a very nice place but the kids there can be a bit rude at times. They would usually use poor language and very much profanity. It's nothing about the center that it bad it's mainly the type of behavior the kids have here.
