Need some new options

Has anyone on here taken advantage of this yet?
Got a mailer notifying me of the program. We were going to replace lawn with drought tolerant/native Ca plants anyway, saw this and wondering if it’s a headache or totally worth it. Any tips?

I remember when I was younger that BC had an incredible fireworks show but they haven't hosted one for years. Does anyone know why they stopped?

Got some wasps nest growing too close to where my kid plays and need them gone. Anyone have any recommendations for wasp removal services?

Has anybody gone? Is it a good family place? I have children and it looks fun, but I’m not sure for my younger toddler if it’s worth trying out.

Edit: do you have to pay for parking? Do you have to print tickets?

I tried calling customer service, but they’re not answering.

Whenever this forum talks about the local flock situation, the good information seems to get buried under a lot of emotion and a lot of assumptions with very little current information from reputable sources.

Whether you're pro- or anti- or somewhere in the middle, this article is worth the read.

There is a short newsletter write-up from Wired that talks about this and provides other, current, links. I'm not sure if you need a sub to see the newsletter, but I'll provide the link: https://www.wired.com/story/security-roundup-apples-hide-my-email-service-fails-to-hide-your-email/

This is part of their "Security Roundup" - scroll to the bottom to see the blurb about the ALRPs.

Went to auto tint west since people seemed to have good experiences taking their vehicles in. I had the opposite I got 5 windows done and my passenger window and rear window have ugly vertical streaks. Says it’s my car and I have to replace all my windows if I don’t want that type of streaking. This is after the curing process I didn’t roll the windows down didn’t clean my windows from the interior followed all directions. Owner is rude and disrespectful says there’s no way on earth it’s him since he’s been doing it for 43 years. Be careful and ask before if your car will have streaks after being tinted because he said he doesn’t tell people that up front because all cars are different

Looking to hit this casino up over the weekend haven’t been here. Do they have a sports bar? Is the food any good?

Any recommended places to stay nearby? Also are the slots tight? lol

I am newer to the area. Both of my trucks desperately need new tires. I am looking for some LT Nittos Grapplers. Normally I use Costco but they don’t seem to carry this brand. This truck is a 1500 but does significant towing. The other is a 1500 Chevy single cab and I was looking at the Michelin defenders from Costco.

But if on shop can handle both installs, along with vehicle alignment, that’d be cool. Any leads are greatly appreciated, thanks!

I know it gets asked all the time and every year. I’ve been bottled neck before after the show ends and it’s awful leaving the parking lot.

What’s the other hidden spots with a decent view

Hello, I'm new to Bakersfield area. I want to know if anyone can help with any leads for sober living homes here in Bakersfield. Thank you.

Looking to add solar to my 3300 sqft home. Average bill in the summer is $900, lowest in the winter $350.

I was just quoted by sales person at SunRun $500 - $650 a month, to not even own the system.

If I want to own the system, then it would cost $122K to $202K. Seems excessive and not worth the effort, knowing a corporation is double dipping from us adding solar to our home and then they get a kick back from the electric company, in addition to me paying for the system. Is this what solar is now?

Is it worth it?

Or are their better companies out there?

I'm here at the casino

The title but I always have to go down to La :( we only have Sephora and Ulta here afaik I don’t know if we have any independent stores that mix their own oils or perfumes like Los callejones do in dtla but I need someone to open up a place like the scent room or scent bar in Bakersfield I wish we had an indie perfume scene here I would be their first customer but besides my complaining if yall know any small businesses that mix their own perfumes/perfume oils that are inspired by other perfumes or any niche perfume stores that I missed out on pls lmk 🙏

Has anybody gone? Any tips? How’s open mic night? I was thinking about taking my family from the Midwest. I’ve never gone myself to be honest, never had the time.
