The CA desert city so awful you have to love it. Palmdale is one of the extreme LA bedroom communities. It's the home of Lockheed-Martin Skunk Works, and SR Technics. It also is the location of Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center, LA Center to you pilots out there. It has a lot of wonderful qualities, clean air and not having to deal with big city traffic and problems. But it's police force is barely adequate and sometimes it takes forever for them to respond to a call. To top it off no matter how wonderful it is, it's still in the middle of a desert. People die there in the summer because of the temperatures. It's so dry that you wake up in the morning and your lips are split because they're trying to turn into leather. You are never less than 3 miles from anything which makes walking places in the summer nearly impossible.

I couldn't have said it better myself...

Glad to have lived there, glad to have left when I did.
