  1. Never knew Palmdale had its own TV channel. Not much really goes on here for families or for fun. the only news to report any given day of the week is shootings, car chases, car crashes and theft at Target. I’m surprised that is award winning material. Must be a joke award.

    • Water park, air park, mall, regular events at Legacy Commons and at Palmdale Playhouse…good parks and rec…I dunno what you think goes on in “better” cities…
