I heard on the news last night that the City of Bakersfield has decided to re-name one of the main drags into town, or at least a portion of it.
It's probably a good idea from a marketing standpoint. Not to mention the self esteem of everyone who lives here. The original name certainly captures the peculiar charms of Bako...
Weedpatch Highway.
I didn't happen to catch what they intend to change it to and I shudder at the thought.
Either the morons in the planning department will make a bad situation worse and re-name it "Drainage Ditch Highway" or "Diaper Dump Expressway", which, if nothing else, would be fairly accurate.
Or they'll just turn it over to the developers and we'll end up with "Calle Las Malas Hierbas Encantadas".
