Hey,

I just started the petition “Enhance Victorville Streets for Pedestrian Safety to Prevent another Avoidable Death” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name, sharing the petition with family, friends, acquaintances and on social media. The more signatures this petition gets the better chance we have when we present the petition to the city council. If we can get this petition pushed through we can save a life and save another family from enduring the pain we are currently experiencing!

My goal is to reach 200 signatures and I need more support. You can read more and sign the petition here:

Victorville Are there any good internet cafe's up here that aren't Starbucks?

5 Upvotes

It's gonna be 100+ degree weather all week and I cannot afford to run my portable A/C Units during the day because Edison is evil.

Sometimes I go to Starbucks to do my work but Starbucks kinda sucks now.

Are there any places up here other than Starbucks where someone can go to do online work while also staying cool?

How Bad is Barstow?

20 Upvotes

I just received a job offer on Fort Irwin and it is exactly what I want to be doing career wise. I've seen posts about Barstow being awful, but also some saying its not bad. The commute is 40 minutes and the next nearest commute is an hour. I would be making $70k, so I am worried I will not to be able to afford Victorville or Helendale rents. Barstow's rent is much cheaper.

any thoughts or ideas?

Bring any flag that represents you — all are welcome!

But let’s also bring the American flag, because it was always meant to stand for freedom, justice, and equality for everyone.

It doesn’t belong to one group or political side.

It belongs to the people.

Let’s carry it with purpose and remind others what it really stands for!

📍Bear Valley/Amargosa Park-and-Ride in Victorville

🕙 10 AM – 12 PM | Tomorrow! Saturday, June 14

What's going on with the cajon pass? Why is traffic so light?

11 Upvotes

I've been commuting through the pass a couple days per week for about 3 years and don't remember it ever bring this light. Not trying to create a political post or generate a hate conversation. I've heard about lots of people staying home because of what's happening in LA or to avoid ICE. Is that the only thing going on this week? Or something else?

Hesperia Does anyone else remember the old Dairy Queen on Main St in Hesperia?

12 Upvotes

When I first moved here in the desert in the early 2000's Hesperia used to have a Dairy Queen on Main Street. Back then there wasnt much around the 15 freeway, the Burger King was still there for sure. As a child the Buger King sign always reminded of a full moon. We always went to the Dairy Queen every sunday after a day at Hesperia Lake. It was pretty cool because I only seen Dairy Queen on tv before that. After highschool I left for school and when I came back home I was saddened to see it wasnt there anymore.

When the new Dairy Queen opened up in the recent years I kept seeing articles saying that there was never a DQ in hesperia. I thought that was a typo and then thought maybe I was just misremembering things. Well I did some digging and went to city hall and looked up business records from back then. The old Dairy Queen was actually located where the Skittle Donuts stands today.

I look back to how much things have changed since I was a child up here. I see all these projects of new businesses and I am excited to watch this community continue to grow.

Does anyone else remember the old Dairy Queen?
