I do not feel that an event like the "Kiddie Parade" should be charged these fees since this parade is not as big as these other parades. It is about two blocks long. I feel that it means a lot to… Continue

Where's the Potholes on County Line Road

Every morning, I gather myself to prepare for my commute headed towards Bakersfield. I got my coffee in the mug and in a 35 minutes drive, I am at work. Before I can get to work, I had a chance to play a game of where's the potholes on County Line Road. After the rain had poured cleaning up the streets, the potholes seems to worsen. Then, I thought to myself that maybe the road is a neglected road since I figure half belongs to Delano and the other half belongs to Tulare. Our city patches what i… Continue

Sonic might be coming to town...

SONIC MIGHT BE COMING TO TOWN!

Not this Sonic... But this SONIC!

The reason I'm saying might be is, it is unpredictable what is coming in our city and I won't believe it 'til I actually get my first order from it. Who knows, we'll probably end up a lawsuit against the new place from… Continue

Discuss Drinking water from two wells at Kern Valley State Prison contained arsenic, a known cause of cancer, in amounts far higher than a federal safety standard soon to take effect. Yet, nearly three years after missing the government's deadline to reduce the arsenic levels, the state ha… Continue
