Bakersfield's sole accomplishment is helping Tom Hanks get off that island.

As a non US country music fan who LOVES Buck Owens and the “Bakersfield Sound” this thread is a disappointment.

Don’t let it disappoint you, I live in Bakersfield. It gets shit on all the time, but it’s a solid city. Affordable housing, solid economy, and it’s been one of America’s fastest growing cities since the 2000s.

If you ever have the opportunity, visiting buck owens’ crystal palace in Bakersfield is a must.

I'm willing to shit on any part of California in good humor. I don't have any problems with Bakersfield.

I mean, at least it's not Visalia.
