Bakersfield, CA, USA

               What to Expect in... Bakersfield

                                                               "Life as it should be"



8. Hot N' Nasty
Summer days can peak above 110 degrees. On the plus side, the winters aren't too cold.



7. Pitbulls
Many houses are guarded by cute pitbulls, rottweilers, and annoying chihuahuas.



6. Mexicans
Bakersfield is full of Mexicans, as is much of Southern California. Most importantly, they throw lots of parties with brinca brinca and cook lots of amazing food.


5. Evangelicals
Bakersfield is much more conservative and Christian than the rest of California. Mega (and mega-fun) churches are very popular. Poor Catholics - they never get left alone.


4. Drillers
Oil plays a major part of the economy.
The Bakersfield High School mascot is even a driller. "Once a driller, always a driller."


3. Trapped Air
Unfortunately, Bakersfield lies in a bowl of tall mountains that trap in the pollution.





2. The World's Most Valuable Farmland
If you're eating a carrot right now, there's probably a part of Bakersfield in you. Some people say this valley has the world's most productive farmland, which initially drew the Okies here during the Dust Bowl. Today, many residents work for Grimmway or Bolthouse Farms.
