I just wanted to reach out to see if any Car Auto/Mechanic shops are open on Saturday? I put a post about car mechanics a while back but I been trying to go during the week but hours haven’t been favorable due to work. Thank you for any assistance!
Anybody see what looked like a rocket moving west to east over the AV around 9:07 pm?
It's really odd. Usually being city manager is a pretty solid gig, but in California City they're on their 7th City Manager / acting City Manager in a little over a year.
I know they've had some financial issues since the prison closed and they haven't been great in collecting marijuana taxes, but this seems like it's a bigger issue. Does anybody have the inside scoop?
Currently looking for land to build, saw some nice lots in pinion hills on some nice hills overlooking the desert. How is the area? Specifically wild horse canyon
What’s happening on the Cajon pass? There’s at least 20 unmarked police vehicles lined up off the freeway. Trains just sitting there
I’m a little confused about accepting orders. There are orange locations that light up. Do we drive to those areas and wait for an order to pop up? I’ve only gotten 2 orders pushed to me and it’s when I forget to log off for the day. I can’t pick places to accept orders. Is it too busy? Not enough orders?
I’m also looking to people to go out riding with. Thanks
Can anyone recommend a good builder/contractor for pools? I’m looking to do a small, rectangular pool alongside an existing covered patio. Probably 10-12 feet wide and 15-25ish feet long. An attached spa would be nice but it depends on the cost.
I’ve seen Yelp reviews for SBC Pools and Mojave Pools, which both make great looking pools. I’ve heard SBC is the more affordable of the two. Can anybody share the total cost of their pool?
I was also interested in fiberglass pools with automated covers but those seem to be less common.
Thanks in advance 🙂
I was on Highway 62 Friday 4/26/24 at 10pm headed from interstate 10 to Old Woman Springs and noticed 4 different drones flying or more correctly hovering over the road. One at what we call the "entry to the badlands" 2 in Morongo Basin and one at the top of the grade entering Yucca Valley.
I have never been accused of wearing a tinfoil hat but this was something strange... Did anyone else see them?
Hi all,
I’ll be in LA for a few days over the summer and really want to get out to the desert for a hike. I won’t have a private vehicle but it seems like Saddleback Butte near Lake Los Angeles has a bus stop nearby. I’m wondering if bus service out there is reliable or if I’ll end up stranded in the desert. It’s AVTA line 50 that goes there. If anyone has experience with that line or general advice about public transit in the area, I’d love to hear your opinion on this. Thanks!
Seen this on my way to my sons baseball lessons and was wondering the backstory if any. Address is 17861 pitache st
Does anyone have recommendations for a good, reliable landscaper in the area? Between work and illness over the past year, the weeds on my property have gotten out of control.
Looking for for someone to:
Anyone in the area capable of this? Looking for a fair price, but not trying to pinch pennies. Would rather pay more for quality service.
Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for my driver's test and wanted to see if anyone has recently taken it in at the Victorville dmv, Do you happen to know the route/routes they usually take? Any tips or info would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Anybody hear about the teacher that was allegedly escorted off campus for sleeping and texting with a student? School sent out a text that cops were there and then little else. Students had more info than parents were given. Happend last Friday
Just sharing with the community!
Inspired by a post from OC and wanted to ask here. Have a great day.
From Oak Hills, you can see these two peaks if you're facing east. What are they?

Hello AV community! I am hosting a night market vendor event at “The Patio at The Blvd.” on May 31st- Free admission; family and pet friendly! Mark your calendars, currently accepting vendors. 😁 See y’all there ! 🏝️
I applied for the sweeper operator for the city. Anyone have any inside info on these types of jobs? Pay? Union? OT? Thanks.
I've only seen this in the high desert. Sometimes the rain on the sand creates little craters... Like the moon surface or a little like empty lotus pod. I would appreciate if someone could post a picture of this send it to me or tag me somehow.
Is there any place that is a safe place to knock out a couple miles or a running club to be support by?
Are there any hookah bars in Victorville or any neighboring city's that got a good vibe to them, I'm tired of driving to Ontario and don't really want the responsibility of owning my own hookah. Maybe someone owns a hookah and would like a new friend. I'm a father, down to earth, gamer, and I'm into Manga and anime.
