re: #39 calochortus

Ummm, also not a “suburb.” There is no “Urb” anywhere near it. There were a bunch of these desert planned communities that popped up around the 1960s. Some were misguided but real attempts at development. Some were scams from the get-go.

I always thought it was a suburb of Mojave. I actually lived in North Edwards, down the road a little. Cal City was apparently legit at the start but scammers took over in the 60s and 70s when its lack of viability became obvious.
