    It doesn’t matter what town you live in. I can say the same thing for Antelope Valley but out of respect for my friend that got killed at such a young age for what ever the reasons are, I will not.

    Adrian, you will be missed. R.I.P. my friend.

    Any time you have a town such as Rosamond that makes the Antelope Valley look good,, it doesn’t get any more pathetic than that.
