    LA or Bakersfield?

    But then........ between the two counties I think everyone in the country is related to someone here! :biggrin_25525:

    Reminds me of when I started posting on one of these sites a few months back and mentioned I worked at Scotsman's Restaraunt (next to Bruce's Truck Stop)
    when I was 15-16 years old............ apparently the place has quite the reputation!!! :biggrin_25523:

    Ahhhh YeS!
    The Streets of Bakersfield.
    Buck Owens, Dwight Yokem and Happy Harvick territory.

    Y'all don't have to go to the Land of the Rising Sun to find a "big city".
    NopE!
    Just a few hours south of Bakersfield, over or around the Grapevine --- and waa-Laa, Los Angeles --- and a couple of million known residents. And the English language is dying as it's replaced with Spanish and ebonics.
    Lo Verdadero!

    No kiddin'?
    Small world.
    I've had more than a few meals there.

    Bruce's Bakersfield truck stop is much nicer than Bruce's Tulsa, Oklahoma truck stop.
    Especially after that mile-wide tornado went right through it.
    Talk about the way they park!
    Big trucks were parked on their roofs,
    and wrapped around pillars.
    Buncha rookies. :biggrin_25523:

    No mucho.
    Zero, zilch, nada, mi amigo.
    Como esta? :smt028

    Where they get their broke backs wet. :biggrin_2559:

    I don't blame you one bit, Mr. Bowles.
    I've been there many times, and I'm here to
    tell y'all, --- it ain't all it's cracked up to be. :biggrin_25512:

    If y'all don't expect much there, y'all will STILL
    be disappointed. :biggrin_25525:
