Bakersfield: Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everything

When many people talk of Bakersfield, they have one of two things that randomly blurt out of their mouths.  It is either, “Oh, that hick town?” or “I’ve driven through there before.”  Well things are changing.  This once small town has doubled in size over the last two years.  Land prices have tripled and now we are looking at even more growth due to the High Speed Rail system that will stop in LA, Bakersfield, and San Francisco.  Bakersfield maybe growing at expediential rates but the feeling in everyone’s hearts is the same; this is still a small community of loving families and homegrown businesses.
