APPLE VALLEY REVIEW
There are a number of transportation and road projects in the Victor Valley that have been discussed so long they have taken on mythical proportions, like the Yucca Loma Bridge or Ranchero Underpass.
Like the Easter Bunny and Superman projects, you just have to see some things to believe they are real. One such project, the “High Desert Corridor,” has been the subject of local community meetings recently held by Caltrans and the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

APPLE VALLEY REVIEW
APPLE VALLEY • In 2004 an ailing senior, living at Sun City Apple Valley, passed out in her home. Single, and alone, the woman laid on her floor for hours.
Meanwhile, just a few feet from her house, neighbors walked their dogs, worked in their yards and chatted about the weather.
After the woman regained consciousness, and contacted her family, news about the incident quickly spread through the community.
Neighbor Sandra Williams said that she was shattered and saddened when she heard about the woman.
