Barstow has to be up there too

Bakersfield is significantly better than Barstow

OK, so what is there in Bakersfield to visit? Other than family?

Nothing really worth visiting, but it's a fine enough town to live in

Cal State Bakersfield campus? (WAC member)
MichCoug

That's not worth visiting. There's a decent number of good local places to eat.
