Keeping Abreast

So today is a red letter day in Bakersfield, and that letter is "H", and that "H" stands for "Hooters"!

Today was the Grand Opening for the first and only Hooters in Bako.

I don't know which is more shocking - that Hooters is still in business, or that it took so long for them to get one here. If ever a town was "Hooters-ready", it's this one. Maybe management, having never see the local TV weather, found the local talent pool, um, "under qualified". Maybe the pious scolds, who seem to run this town, cock-blocked it at every turn, only to recently have lost the battle. Or more likely, as with everything else, Bako is just 20 years behind the times. Regardless of the circumstances, today is a day of celebration - Bakersfield is officially "Hooterville"!

If only Vic Mizzy had lived to see this day.
