I have a funny headline:
The new Kaiser VP makes a splash landing in the AV.
Chopra says
Great comment! Splash landing at that. I think Kaisers new Lancaster building looks out of place. It really looks bad on Ave L in front of Kaisers Welcome sign. Not to welcoming with a nasty mess in front of the building.
KAISER – clean it up in front of your new awkward looking building on Ave L, it really looks bad, actually it looks horrible. The mud and crap from your welcome sign does extend into two lanes of traffic on Av e L. Someone could get into a car accident because of your mess.
The road in front of Kaiser is caked with inches of dried up mud from the flood that came from their property. Are they going to clean up their mess or are they just going to make AV drivers drive over all that crap in the road?
Chris says
Kaiser bought and build in the severest flood zone in AV. In the 1930’s & 1940’s that area used to be a very large lake. Now it is a dried up lake bed that floods after a half a day of rain. What will Kaiser do when it rains for 4 to 5 day in a row? They can boat their patient in for care.
You can for sure I bet Kaiser is now kicking themselves in the back side. I don’t like Kaiser or it’s MD’s so I think that Kaiser buying that land and building is as funny and a comedy show every time I driver by the place.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Kaiser you deserve every square inch of that flooded building in the severest flood zone in the Antelope Valley.
I am laughing so hard right now it hurts. I need an MD I think I pee’d my pants. HA HA Kaiser. Jokes on you. Funny stuff in the AV.
AV Observer says
Wasn’t that the land owned by Visco or Gilley or both? Yep. Next to their parcel that we paid 8 million for a culvert. That’s how it goes in Lancaster. You build where the good old boys own the land. Why do you think the Fairgrounds are so far from everything? Flood zone owned by one of the good old boys. That’s why Lancaster is such a hodge podge mess and Palmdale, with its synergy, gets all the new businesses. Kaiser is probably kicking themselves in the backside by now. I’m taking bets that they don’t build a permanent hospital anywhere near that flood zone.
Chris says
Ya can for sure I bet Kaiser is now kicking themselves in the back side too. I don’t like Kaiser or it’s MD’s so I think that Kaiser being buy that land is as funny and a comedy show every time I driver by the place.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Kaiser you deserve every square inch of that flooded building in the severest flood zone in the Antelope Valley.
I am laughing so hard right now it hurts. I need an MD I think I pee’d my pants. HA HA Kaiser. Jokes on you. Funny stuff in the AV.
Sammy says
Actually Chris, Kaiser doesn’t own the land. Frank Visco does. And the taxpayers should be kicking themselves in the a$$, as they are the ones who paid over 8 million to reroute Amargosa creek to keep that land from flooding. So Frank could lease it to Kaiser.
Sounds like “they” didn’t do a good job, if it’s still flooding.

@AV Observer
As I’ve said before, the layout of things in Lancaster looks like they just fell out of the sky and landed here and there with no planning, no synergy and no hope.
I used to go to the old Factory Outlet and the stores on Valley Central Way back in the early 90s when there wasn’t anything in Palmdale. I haven’t been there in years for anything. What is there left? Another failed business model. One after another.
That Kaiser thing on L looks like it fell out of the sky. There is nothing else around it and it looks almost inaccessible by foot. They might as well have put it in the median of the 14.
The new courthouse is also in the middle of nowhere.
The blvd is in a lousy location too and was a lost cause to begin with.
Add 1 rex parris to a city already messed up by the good ol’ boys and it just keeps getting worse only it’s now powered by the sun.
Chris says
Didn’t Kaiser just build a building in Lancaster in a severe flood zone on Ave L?
Kaiser should have done their research. You built a building on the old Lancaster Lake bed.
Ave L in front of the new Kaiser looks bad.
Enjoy your floods Kaiser. I’m sure Kaiser got the land a real cheap price from Lancaster.
I think it is funny – Kaiser bought land a built a medical building in a severe flood zone. HA HA Kaiser.
