Bakersfield Edit Meaning

1.

With a population of nearly a half million, it is the third largest inland city in California. God knows why, it's a pretty horrible place, with summer (late May-late October) temperatures averaging in the high 90s and air quality that can practically disable you. Winter is short and usually doesn't get colder than 50 degrees in the daytime.

Methis as easily found as soda machines and getting drunk at parties in the middle of fields is a common Friday night activity.

Housing used to be dirt-cheap, but as of recently it's increased drastically. Statistics show that every single day 10 people from LA move into Bakersfield.

Ridiculously, there is only one real shopping mall (Valley Plaza) so at any given time it is too crowded to take a breath.

Much of the population are Mexicans that hop the border and invade town then clog the streets protesting their "deserved rights" when they are not even citizens.

Areas of town are sort of defined by the high schools: South High (southside), East High (eastside) {don't walk the streets at night because you WILL get stabbed by a mexican gang}, North High (north) {A.K.A. Oildale- which isn't a city in itself, just a name for the trailer park/white trash part of town], West High (west) {if you want to get shot, eat at a taco bell}, Ridgeview High {out in the middle of fucking nowhere}. Then there are the snobby, rich schools around the Northwest/Southwest part of the city such as Centennial High, Liberty High, and Stockdale High. Liberty is home to the hottest, most shallow kids in the whole city. If you're not good-looking, you're invisible.

Friday night high school football games rule many kids' lives. If you're not a jock, then you're going to be pretty fucking bored and will resort to devoting your life to the "hXc!" music scene. ( Scene kidsin Bakersfield are known to be pretentious jerks.) You will spend your every waking moment in the sweaty, roach-infested basement of Jerry's Pizza watching shitty local bands lose their voices.

Summer's started.. Looks like we won't be stepping foot outside for the next five months. Bring me a Bud Light and a pack of Camels!

kid 1 "I just moved to Bakersfield. Do you know where I can score some ice?"

kid 2 "Dude, just stand at a corner and someone will come up to you and ask you to buy."

kid 1 "You're going to the mall in Bakersfield?? Don't you know there was a shooting there a month ago?"

kid 2 "Yeah, there's not really any other choice. I'm bored as hell and there is no other decent fucking mall in the entire city."

Why trust air you can't see? The unbearable heat during the day adds to deliquency society as people prefer midnight outings and cow-tipping. From gang members to cowboys you will see a variety of "culture" The armpit of California is home to cheap living, suburbia mixed with random farms, and drastically changing geographics every year, as (for some reason) people keep moving there.

"Man it's hot as hell-wait..."

An awesome town but rather boring. The best attraction is the Kern County Fair and it has one of the worst air qualities in the USA. It is also the 4th driest city in the US. (Yes, even drier than Ridgecrest.) Also has a killer river that has been dry for a year now.

Stacy: I have lived in Bakersfield my whole life and its has gotten rather boring. Sigh... I wish the river would come back.

Yes, it's hot. It can suck. However, its what you make of it. Either way, we still have a pretty bad reputation as a glorified hick-ville...

My friend & I during a random roadtrip to Aspen, CO:

random boy at a bar: hey, where are you girls from?

us: california

random boy: you girls here for the bachlorette party?

us: uhm, no. we're visiting friends. who would come all

the way from cali to get married?

random boy: would you rather get married in aspen or vegas?

my friend: well, i would get married in vegas.

random boy: YOU MUST BE FROM BAKERSFIELD!!!!
