61. Stayed overnight once in Bakersfield driving back from Arizona to SF

Thu Feb 20, 2020, 12:15 PM

Feb 2020

It was smelly, ugly and boring. Only fast food resturants . A perfect place to commit suicide if you are depressed. I couldn’t wait to leave early the next morning. Another friend I know who had relatives said she dreads having to go there to visit. When her grandparents died she was sad but then happy she didn’t have to go there anymore.

And it would be a massive protest if mf45 tried to take over SF.
