The iconic arch sign of the Bakersfield city, which is also part of US  Route 99 - the golden state freeway.
Twenty fourth street cafe. Great place. Guess it was on diners/drive-ins & dives
Behind Rabobank Arena where the train track overhead walkway is I noticed this interesting street sign.  Not sure if Korn has played there or what but it caught my eye.
