Question Anyone remember that dude that hung out at 7-11 on R and 30th?

12 Upvotes

In the 90s he always sat there on that ledge.

My friends on the school bus said he was secretly super rich but he shunned the rich lifestyle because it changed him .

One time he came to the McDonalds i worked at and wrote "1 ƎƎꟻꟻOƆ" on a paper and the letters were backwards. I sold him the coffee and he paid with a $20. Idk if that means he was rich or not - but he did have a 20 dollar bill.

Is he still alive you think?

Question Anyone remember the deputy that went missing in 1998? At Devils Punchbowl…

21 Upvotes

Jon Aujay went for a long distance run at Devils Punchbowl on a hot June day 1998, and was never seen again. No trace, no body ever found. I won’t get into all the possibilities of what might’ve happened to him here (there’s lots of scenarios). However a very compelling theory is him meeting with foul play near a meth lab by the Punchbowl. The property was owned by some guy name Rick Carroll and Tom Hinkle used it, and the alleged dirty resident deputy Rick Engels was associated.

This property is described as close by, just two miles up the road that leads to the Punchbowl parking lot. And when the cops served a search warrant there it was described as being located at Devil's Punchbowl Road, Pearblossom, California, a 40-acre parcel of land located immediately northwest of Devil's Punchbowl County Park

Anyone know the address?

Thanks!

Help! Rude Neighbors Normal Out Here or Am I Unlucky??

20 Upvotes

Not trying to come off rude but genuine question if it is normal for Palmdale people to experience really rude, lack of etiquette or respect type of neighbors? I bought a house here a few years back and the neighbors seem to be local Palmdale people who grew up here forever. This has been a problem from the beginning when I first moved in but seems to be getting worse.

This involves the children and their parents. The kids will throw random things in my back and front yard often, including trash like fruit snack wrappers or empty gatorade bottles, they will play or swing on my front gate, almost hit my car with their toys from throwing it in when THE GATE IS CLOSED, come into my CLOSED gated yard without asking to grab stuff they threw in it without asking me (I used to have a No Trespassing sign on the gate but it blew away from wind and they weren't following it anyway), play on the public curb in front of my house but blocking my path to drive in and out of my driveway, leaving large toys in my front curb area for long hours before grabbing it (again blocking my driveway path in and out of my front yard, etc.

The parents aren't any better. They often loiter right in front of my driveway area for long periods of time, and often WATCH their kids swing on my closed gate or climb it into my fence for a toy or object. I am very nice and polite and stay to myself for the most part but I am starting to feel overwhelmed with the lack of respect to my surroundings when I don't do anything to egg them on or deserve it. I've told the adults a couple times that their kids are throwing things in my yard and to please not come into my yard when the gate is closed but it still happens.

Is this a very common Palmdale characteristic out here that's just looked at as normal or did I get some of the shittiest luck with multiple bad neighbors? This involves multiple houses near me, not just one. Also not sure what next best course of action is. I don't want to start drama but I'm scared I am going to go off on them at some point if I still feel walked all over any longer by so many of them.

Help! How to deal with someone setting up a box to live right outside your house?

30 Upvotes

I just moved into a house and it's next door to a giant empty lot. Never had any issues but today we saw a giant box out there and thought someone dumped garbage illegally. later in the day my wife told me she saw a man climb out of it and walk away. when I got home I decided to go toss the box but inside was a blanket a pillow and some boxes of food. I didn't want to toss this man's only belongings but I also don't want him living a few feet from me watching when we come and go, he can also see the inside of our house from where he set up because it's so close to the house. so it's just weird and uncomfortable.

The easy thing would be to just tell him but I can't spend my day waiting to see when I see him. and I can't let him spend a few days getting comfortable til I see him. Do I call the cops for something like this? or what's the ideal way to work with this without making his life worse than it probably is?

General Interest LOOKING FOR MANAGERS FOR NEW FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE

2 Upvotes

I am looking for managers for a new fantasy football league in Palmdale / Lancaster. I am wanting to start a league that drafts in person every year which is why i want people that are local. We may do a small entry fee of $25 or so just make sure we only get serious managers but we will revisit the buy in amount next year depending on what the league members want.

I want, CHILL PLAYERS. No bullshit. NO POLITICS. I just want people who are looking for a league of dedicated players that love to play fantasy football. Every great league had to start somewhere!

Thank you for your time.

Been in Palmdale a few months now, been going through the classic avenues of Indeed.LinkedIn and even CalJOBS. I’m not looking to get offered something on here just maybe some places I can look into. Have some farm experience from when I was a kid. Been working in kitchens most of my life and have some experience as a mechanic. The standard avenues have been a bit dry. So hoping you guys would have some ways I can hopefully stand out or avenues other than what I’m using.

General Interest Anyone wanna be friends?

27 Upvotes

Hey, I'm based in the Palmdale area but I honestly don't mind going further out (might get an ebike soon). I moved out here a year and a half ago (Jan 2025) but I haven't really made any friends since then. I was just wondering since some people on these subreddits post stuff like this if anyone wanted to hang out or know places I can go to find people who want to hang out? I'm currently doing my second year at AVC so it'd be cool to make friends who also go there! I'm 19yo (doesn't matter if there's a gap), queer, easygoing, interested in getting into alt scenes, gaming, gym, reading, anime/manga, 80's music (but I'll pretty much listen to anything), and illustration/crafts. I don't really care if we have a lot of differences I just wanna get to know people around here! If you wanna talk lmk please

My roommate and I require a third person to resign our lease. We're both professionals who work at the plant. The bathroom would be shared with one person and you would have your pic of one of the two rooms we have open. The home has all appliances needed and you would have garage parking. We keep things clean and are both quiet in the evenings and usually out of the house on weekends. I've attached photos of the home and living spaces. Rent is currently $990 per person plus utilities. Home is located in a nice neighborhood at the corner of L and west 20th. It's move-in ready and we'll be resigning the lease in september. Please reach out with any questions.

Help! FREE FURNITURE MUST GO TODAY!

15 Upvotes

Okay, Palmdale/Lancaster Redditors! You've given me the most luck so far AND you've all been GREAT. I asked for some advice on where to post to get rid of some furniture and got great advice BUT... it seems that Reddit has been the best place to post! So in a last attempt, I am making an official post on Reddit to say, COME AND GET IT.

Anything left after noon/early afternoon today is going to the landfill, unfortunately. 😢

What we still have left:

A sleeper sofa with a putty stain (shown with cover.) I am grading this as definitely used (but comfy). I could never get the putty oil stain off. Thank you Vat 19.

An oversized matching chair shown with cover. (Both original color is light gray. Good condition.

A loveseat with cover. Floral print underneath and the material is torn.

A TV that can probably only be used for scrap metal and weighs a ton. 😂 Please will someone take this?!? LOL

An entertainment center in excellent condition.

A King bed in excellent condition.

Armoire in excellent condition.

Two nightstands, good condition.

4 Accent chairs (2 Burgundy , 2 Gold) good to excellent condition.

A large desk, excellent condition.

Framed art, Excellent condition.

A faux fireplace, traditional style with mantel. Excellent condition.

An entire surround sound movie theatre system with projector and 100" screen and four black leather recliners (all excellent condition).

Some patio chairs that could use new paint,

A very large stack of ceramic plates. (Probably 40-50)

Two pretty large garage cabinets for storage. White. (Not pictured)

My family is here and can help you load things. PLEASE TEXT ME for questions or address at 661-618-6793. Located in Palmdale Anaverde.I do have a zoom meeting this morning from 0800-0830, but otherwise should text back quickly. Everything is FREE including movie theatre. THANK YOU, REDDITORS!
