Lancaster, California
It was in Lancaster, California, a bigger city 20 minutes from Rosamond, where we had the most delightful detour from a Costco errand. A sign that said “Civic Musical Road” was between 30th and 40th streets on Avenue G, just off Highway 14.

Labeled NM (or Route) 333, it is a bit hard to find.

Unlike the...

A previous musical road in the Netherlands has been removed...
