Hey everyone!

I’m thinking of making an independent documentary on the weird places all over Kern County.

Oildale is the obvious — but really there are some strange/fun places here.

Posting here to gather some other sites and see what locals would like to see.

Thanks!

Edit: WOW. This got very popular. Im psyched.

Im also interested in weird communities, not necessarily just places and probably should have mentioned this in the first post. Let me know if there is any thoughts on that too.

Excited to start this project and I will keep this subreddit updated with my progress!

Hey all, Ive lived in Bakersfield for over two years now. My old place was by valley plaza and I lived on the second floor, I never had a problem with cockroaches.

Now I moved to a really nice place in the Northwest (Pheasant Run area) and almost once a week in the morning I’ll find a roach almost dead on its back. Ive never dealt with roaches before, should this be a cause for concern?

For context, we are on the ground floor now, with a garage, with three doorways that enter the apartment. We’ve already contacted the landlord to spray and they said they will get on it as soon as possible (thank god).

Im asking because my girlfriend has a phobia of roaches and it ruins her day completely every time we find one.

Should I be concerned?

Is there an infestation?

What are some ways we can combat this, besides telling the landlord?

Any advice is much appreciated!
