A common thread in many posts on my blogs are strong opinions about the city of Bakersfield. Like it or not, the city had developed a not-so-positive image in the minds of many Californians and even some of its own residents. It has been called the armpit of California and other...

Rap music has taken a beating for its worship of bling, its fasination with promiscuous sex, and its emphasis on violence as the primary means of problem solving. Furthermore, critics claim that rather than lifting the listener, and elevating the mind, it caters to the lowest...

My wife insisted we rush out after work last night to pick up the newly released T.M.X. Elmo, the new version of Tickle Me Elmo, before it sold out. After opening the packaging, which instructed us not to peak in Elmo's voice, my almost 2 year old daughter set out jumping up and down in...

On the surface William Inge's "Picnic" seems quite sedate. A small town in the 50's, average characters, nothing really all that intriguing. Ordinary people, ordinary day. But through Inge's obvious skill as a playwright, it wrestles with some of humanity's...

What is Fuddy Meers? What does it mean? Is it a concept? A person's name, perhaps a long lost relative of Elmer Fudd? What do those words signify? What is the play about?
I don't want you to know. I think you will be better off if you don't.

Should the city build the Bakersfield Blaze minor league baseball team a new home to replace aging Sam Lynn Ball Park? OK, so this is a bit off topic for a retail blog, but new stadiums are usually followed by retail development like new restaurants and shops. As a baseball fan and a former...
