  • I live in Bakersfield

  • @oscarmarin1995

    Excellent.

  • @oscarmarin1995 we are all sooooo impressed.

  • What the fuck... wheres all the pollution? There is always a deadly fog around bakersfield.

  • @allu771

    Ahaaa. Right?!

  • I use to live in oildale.

  • i grew up in bakersfield about 3 blocks away from the highschool and i now live in longbeach CA and i remeber when i used to hangout with the punks and rockers out side of the school and i went back to bakersfield about 2 yrs ago and i acculy missed living there but i dnt reaaly wanna live there but i missed it when it when i used to

  • @131grace

    That's pretty much the same thing with me and so that's I made a video when I visited haha.

  • I left Bakersfield 20 years ago when I was in my 20's and thought it sucked. Now that I've grown up, I miss the place and I'm planing on moving back home. There comes a time in your life when you want to live in a nice laid back home town instead of a place "where there's something to do". And LA is only a couple of hours away if I MUST experience some exciting rat-race bedlam action.

  • @rexorrama : Believe me. There are a bunch of boring sourpusses who comment on these videos. According to the 2010 census, Bakersfield proper now has an 'official' pop. of about 350,00 people, but if you take into account the unincorporated areas and constant flow of people entering the city all the time, I'm sure that the number is much closer to 500,000. There is plenty of fun to be had, and the once abandoned 'Padre' Hotel in downtown reopened luxuriously for business last year. Come on back

  • of all the places in california you choose bakersfield???i've lived here my whole life and wouldn't want to come back if i ever left.we get something interesting around here once every wat couple years maybe?the best thing we've had in a while is papa roach coming tonight

  • @brotherhoodmemb01

    "I've lived here my whole life"

    Exactly. Generally people hate where they come from originally. Sorry to hear you hate it =P

  • why would you go to bakersfield? There's like nothing out here hahaha

  • omg there's like not a mall on like every corner??!! :O

    seriously tho, half the country is like bakersfield (some with different climate)

  • HEY EVERYONE CHECK OUT "619 - THIRSTY" ON YOUTUBE ROUZY ROUZ IS FROM BAKERSFIELD!

  • Bakersfield has a mediterranean climate, our climate can't be found anywhere else in the u.s.

  • lol when you guys were in that area if you seen the ebgames next to cold stone thats the ebgames i go to buy im games lol

  • @bradsterthemaster13

    Haha I used to live right around the corner from there and my brother in law and I used to go that eb games like every other day lol

  • Looks like the typical small city in the USA.

  • Well, it's desert-like that's for sure! Actually, Bakersfield is quite large.

  • @taylor22222222 I meant small to medium size cites, smaller than like New York and Chicago. It has the regular gas stations and box stores and places like that. What is Bakersfield famous for?

  • Haha the first thing I thought of was the Crystal Palace..ya know, Buck Owens. He also started a country radio station there. Not to mention, if you've ever watched TV, Bakersfield is referenced a lot. Korn is a band who came from Bakersfield. Bakersfield is home to a quarter-million people. And according to wikipedia, that makes us the 58th largest city in the US.

  • @taylor22222222 : Bakersfield has much more than a population of a quarter million people. The population sign reads 338,000, but that is based on the 2000 census estimate. With all the expansion in infrastructure and construction going on in town, I'd say that the amount of inhabitants in Bakersfield proper exceeds 400,000. Actually, even though Bakersfield has a very dry climate, it is actually a valley climate that allows for the large amount of agriculture in the area.

  • That's right, haha i hadn't know the exact population and didn't read it on wiki, but yeah the population count is definitely getting up there. This video was made about 3 1/2 years since I'd been there and I noticed a good increase in buildings/houses etc.

  • @taylor22222222 So your video was showing us the legendary "streets of Bakersfield" like in the song. Yes, I've heard that song and kind of like it. I'm not a big Buck Owens fan, but he was OK....one of the old timers. I think Dwight Yoakam did it later. I like Dwight, he has that twang sound. Yes Yoakam did, I just now got done to listening to both of them singing it on a video. The audio of the video sucked but the song still sounded good, like out of a 67' ford pickup speaker with static.

  • Not completely, just all the places that I remember around Rosedale in Bakersfield.

  • ITS PRETTY COOL AND CALM JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE EAST SIDE LOL

  • Ha ha haaa!

  • 4:24 My Grandpa lives in there!

  • Ive lived in Bakersfield my whole life, as a teen its boring but you find things to do. Yes, gas is expensive :/ You were also in the more expensive part of town..

  • is bakers a boring place im moving there and never visited can some oe tell me there opinion

  • @TheAnalinee It depends on what type of person you are. If you have very liberal political views, love the fine arts, are very active outdoors, like fresh air, or hate God, then Bakersfield is not the place to move. Other than that, Bakersfield, when you really look, has a nice charm to it, depending on where you are. It's a big city that feels like a small town.

  • Eh, most people hate it but rcarrillo7 pretty much has it right haha, but there are many different parts of Bakersfield. The only real negative I can think of really is that smog is really bad there. There's a few nice places to see I guess.

  • @TheAnalinee YES IT IS BORING OH GOD :(

  • Hopefully your trip here was both enjoyable for you and your little guy.

  • And Ironically, there is a Bakersfield in Texas (I guess it would be considered more as East-SouthEastern)

  • Comment removed

  • Hey I can't help at all at anything you type into public domain lol you seem too passionate about this, move along and get a hobby or a job, or both.

  • nice video... thats my hometown

  • Comment removed

  • Wow it looks like you hate every place that isn't expensive, judging by some of your comments at least.

  • My homeboy lives in those apartments they pulled into haha

  • Too bad you didn't visit downtown. Its such a pretty area with actually big trees growinng! Rosedale has little to no trees. T.T

  • THE 661 YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

  • Bakersfield is not as bad as everyone thinks it is, actually a nice town and finally making use of all the fields haha If you look up what is the best city to raise a family, the answer will be bakersfield. Trust me theres way more to it than rednecks and fields lol it's just a small town(which is expanding) so idk why ppl talk so much crap??haha

  • @krod2222 all the rednecks are gone. haha.

  • @krod2222 you are soo right bakersfield  is a very great place to live not only cuz of what u say but its also a very calm and peasfull place!1

  • I USED TO LIVE IN BAKERSFIELD!!! BUT NOT TO LONG AGO WE MOVE TO TEXAS!! I LIKE BAKERSFIELD BETTER CAUSE ITS CALM!!

  • @babymar16

    Bakersfield is California's Texas.

  • Would that be West Texas, Northeast Texas or South Texas?!

  • @J25x why u say that??

  • @J25x I lived in bako now i live in texas hahah bako isnt even close buddy

  • i want to know about bakersfield...I'm english and I'm writing a story about it. Is it a cool place or a dead end? Would you describe it as a desert town? What's the names of the mountains near it?

  • @track2now no bakersfield is in the valley surrounded by greenhorn mountains. As you go from Los Angeles down I-5 that is the grapevine....A very steep hill....It's a cool place to live as long as you live in a good neighborhood and have a good job and stay away from places like Union AVE were the prostitutes and druggys hang and also stay away from the east side and weedpatch hwy....Oildale is if you live off N. chester that is....Loved it there!!! Miss CA alot!! lol.....Goodluck!

  • @track2now

    Right then, anything you need to know about Bakersfield, send me a message old chap.

    Jolly good.

  • haha wooooooow this video is old but i just moved from bakersfield right out of sealy into katy haha

  • You poor thing they did not take you much of anywhere fun. I am sorry.

  • I had a good time there actually. I visited a ton of family members and friends, which I have next to none here where I live now. I did manage to get to go a few other places of interest, but I didn't always have my camera with me. Actually just being there for the nostalgia, I had a fantastic time. Thanks anyways though.

  • Oh okay...

    you like cali better or texas better?

  • Eh, I feel more comfortable in Bako but..I guess where I live now in Texas is alright. Lots more to do in California though

  • @taylor22222222

    DUDE you are crazy if you like Bako!

  • so where all have you been?

  • So glad I moved out of this place.... Tahoe is so much better

  • Yes, and more expensive, go figure.

  • Okay so the driving part is Texas right?

    & the still pic's are Bakersfield?

  • No, it's all Bakersfield.

  • i live here.....and i love it here.........hahahaa

  • Man my hometown. Wonder how it looks now.

  • I saved that apartment on the corner from burning down 3 summers ago. I was driving by and saw the fence on fire. I think it was an AC unit that started it.

  • LMFAO!!!!  That's my apartment complex! Just ran across this video and saw it.

  • Oh wow, really?!...I lived in #124 for years....I miss living there actually :/

  • No way! I lived in 224 for about 18 mos. in 2008

  • No way! I lived in 224 for about 18 mos. in 2008... What a small world!

  • Oh wow...interesting lol.

  • hey im from england, and have a friend that lives in Fresno, have you ever been to fresno? if so whats the town like n culture n people so on just so i know what to exspect when i visit sometime next year. thanx. btw good video as bakersfield is close to frenso, i got a feel for the place thax again x

  • I don't know how to correctly answer that...I've never really been anywhere outside of the US so I wouldn't know...I do know that we drive on the right side of the road :p

  • Fresno is very close to Bakersfield, its alright just thought u might know x

  • I've been to Fresno, it's pretty much the same as Bakersfield I think, I just haven't been England so I wouldn't know how to explain what it's like compared to anywhere else...

  • I live in the neighborhood right behind the apartments you pulled into and 00:30. Yay for me!

  • I lived in those apartments for like 10 years....I miss the place lol! I always remembered that big blue barn, thing.

  • you call $2.59 expensive

  • When it was of the highest of anywhere else I've been(highest in Texas then was around $2.00)...then yeah, it tends to be that way.

  • I used to live in Rosdale so ive been there alot but i moved to panama haa. i go to Ridgeview so if any of you guys go there talk to me or frontier which is in rosedale

  • viva la bakersfield

  • I was born in bakersfield, i never really lived there though

  • I live in Rosedale you must like shopping centers cause that's not all there is LOL

  • I luv this song.

    I live here in bakersfeild too.

    but it's so HOT here i can hardly stand it.

    I used to live in san fransico so im used to cooler air and bakersfeild isn't as big.

    sigh, i really hate it when people call me a "City Girl" but if you lived in san fransico you are.

  • I'm guessing you've never been to Texas...it isn't as hot temperature-wise, but the humidity is brutal.

  • i dont get y ppl talk shit...if ppl do their reseach or knew what they were talkn bout...bakersfield is actually bigger than a lot of cities in los angeles..but only differnce is that los angeles has a lot of surrounding cities....so it makes LA county bigger....but kern county has smaller towns like arvin, shafter, delano,...oppose to Los angeles..that has more surroding cities...go to down town ..now that place looks like shit...shit im from Los angelels..worse place to grow up at...ugly too..

  • Ah! Love this video- totally cracked me up, since most of the video was within a 1 mile radius of my home! :D

  • yeah i live in bakersfield too and to be honest i kinda hate it.... I'd rather live at the beach

  • my grandparents lived in bakersfield before passing away and i miss both them and my summers at their house so much.

  • I am from Bakersfield, and I live out in Rosedale. I am not a big fan of Bakersfield. I have lived here for over 30 years. But I do call Rosedale home as i have seen it grow, and it is a nice part of Bakersfield to live in.

  • Awesome song.

  • Yes it is!  And thanks :^)

  • you should of went to oildale.i love that place.woop woop

  • Thanks Taylor! Hope you enjoyed your visit to the Rosedale area of Bakersfield. It's not a perfect town but many of us are happy to call it home.

  • :) thanks

  • You need to really get off of my videos and channel. You're blocked

  • TRUE

  • i live in bako and its allright.

  • hahaha but oildale isnt as bad as

    everyone makes it seem i mean

    dont get me wrong deep in the dale

    is bad but not in the outer area by north

  • your just jealous

  • its all about oildale!!!

    haha well i live in royaldale

    thats what some people call it

    its right by the speedway

  • My dad used to race there at the Bakersfield Raceway way back in the day.

  • actually rosedale is called royaldale

  • Man, I'm glad your impression of Bakersfield is good, I absolutely, positively, HATE this town. I don't know one person who actually likes living here. I live right by all of the stuff in your video though, and that's exactly what Bakersfield is, just a bunch of sidewalk shopping malls. And we come in second next to LA as the WORST AIR POLLUTION IN THE US. Hooray for asthma!

  • Yes, well what can I say, I've spent most of my life there and it just brings back all kinds of old memories just driving by everything. Plus, most of my relatives live there. And the air is pretty bad in Texas too because of pollen and mold spores, same with Florida.

  • i LOVE LIVING IN BAKERSFIELD. my only thought is if people dont like fresno is not that far neither is LA so what are people waiting, it'll sure kill the bullshit traffic that we have now

  • I did too :(

  • omg why would u take a trip 2 bako?!?! its a really suckish place 4 vacation!

  • Because I used to live there for about 12 years, and quite honestly I really miss living there, it's my hometown what can I say.

  • :50 seconds in is like right at my house!!

  • Really, on Hageman or Brittany st.? Or across from Hageman?

  • well hageman and jewetta i live on stride if u know where that is..1 street over from law

  • That sounds very familiar, it's been a while since I've lived there...boy, the good ol days :)

  • with a username like that i wouldn't want to give out where you live :/

  • Well, how can you be sure where I am, try to do it see if you can.

  • aye fool dont trip its not like u know the exact house

  • okay, haha, don't know what gave you that impression but okay.

  • yeah, that's true. i didn't even try to look for it

  • Makes sense :/

  • FIRST!!!

  • okay...

  • yea but umm, really im about to go to college in california and my friends are considering that we go to bakersfield , and im wondering as a college kid would this be a fun place to go? or the complete opposite? i just dont want to end up somewhere boring

  • Well, Bakersfield is a relatively big town/city. There is a lot to do, my sister just graduated I think from Cal State in Bakersfield and she loved it compared a different one(i forget which). I mean, when you're in Bakersfield you're close to the beach, the mountains, all kinds of entertainment and LA. But there are negatives too like there are many rough areas and very few gangs, but still some. But yeah, I'd go there rather than somewhere in Houston, which is where I'm at now.

  • theres no night life in bakersfield

  • mmm kinda, couple of decent clubs in town now, and downtown is fun, but really dangerous if you arent careful(with a group)

  • Yeah, if you're in the wrong part of town...say "oildale".

  • yeah oildale is dangerous at night ha

    but i dont live deep in the dale i love at the

    most northern point of it

  • It can be a little scary lol. But yeah, I lived in Rosedale.

  • haha yeah

    i go to north high and

    i went to one of the foot

    ball games and walked to taco bell after

    at like 9 you have to watch in every direction

  • i use to go to north high

  • Oh, really. I think I remember where that is...yeah, good ol' bakersfield lol.

  • yes i had to go to that crappy school and i left my good school to go there

  • lol, yeah I didn't go there. Which school were you at?

  • shafter high

  • Oh, Okay.

  • noth high isnt a bad school

    well i guess its a matter of opinion

    but i dont htink its that bad

  • i strongly disagree but thats okay

  • That's my hometown, it's fine.

  • good ol bako

    haha

    the land of the rednecks

  • haha, that's funny.

  • and you are from where?

  • Hi Taylor this is your sister

  • Taylor! Jasmine saw this video because she typed in roasdale california and she was wondering if she new the person driving the car and at the end of the video she saw Taylor Bryant and remembered you were my little brother and she called me. I told her you came to visit and that I was driving the car. She also asked about the cute little boy and was amazed she was looking a pics of my kids without knowing it. hahaha.
