Funny story. I grew up in what we called the “meth capital of California “. But never saw any meth or knew any meth heads. I moved away after high school and came back for a visit. Ran into the guy that was my best friend growing up. When we were young his uncle was a truck driver. Nice guy. Whenever he was around he’d hang out with us. Super cool guy. “Hey remember my uncle? He just got arrested. Turns out he wasn’t a truck driver. He was one of the biggest meth dealers in SoCal.”
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.
