Bakersfield Photo Tribute (No, Really!)

It has been suggested that Bakersfield is the "armpit of California." I respectfully disagree. I once had the opportunity to work there for a week, which is, admittedly, too short a stay for a full evaluation of the merits of a town, but I did enjoy myself. Here is a series of photos of my favorite architecture from the city. They are all out of order- I couldn't find a simple way to rearrange them. Oh well. Enjoy!
