Monday 9/2 6:30 - Run and drink beer with the Bakersfield Hash House Harriers!

If you need to get out of the house a little more, make friends, be more active, have a few beers, and just have fun, we've got a place for you! We have walkers, runners, and everything in between. Come join us as we see what fun things are uncovered this week on trail. As long as you bring a fun attitude, you might just have a good time! Also, you don't have to drink, but most of us do.

Below is the info for trail if you want to meet up and check us out:

The Dec 2 hash will start from Wilson Park. Meet at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the southeast side of the lot. Map to the start location here:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/H9Bw8tdeAvQcW18PA

Butthook will be the hare. The trail will be ~3-1/4 miles with 2 beer stops. Bring $5 for your fill of crappy snacks and cold beer. Flashlights are strongly recommended.

ON ON!

Storage Unit Recommendations?

Hi all,

I’m currently renting at US Storage Centers and for the second time this year they’re increasing the price of my 10 x 5 unit. I was hoping to get some recommendations for that same size under what US Storage will be charging Jan 1st, $84.50.

Also I would like to advise staying away from this company unless it is the norm for storage units to jump in price multiple times a year

Looking for friends in the area

I’m 22 and my husband is 23. We both like horror and video games, he especially likes competitive shooters and riding dirt bikes. I like rock music, spooky shit, and a lot of generally “nerdy” stuff and we’re both looking for more people to hang out with in the area! If anyone knows a good place to meet new people as well (we’re more arcade center than bar people) we’d appreciate any advice!

Looking for mushrooms

Are there any mushroom growers in the area? Do they show up at local farmers markets by any chance? I'm looking to cook with them mostly and use for health related benefits. Just curious.

Psychiatric help for Marijuana dependence/over use recommendation.

I've been smoking Marijuana almost daily since 2019 and it's really affecting my life between social interactions, my mood, and especially my memory and ability to concentrate. I can't stop on my own my self control is not that strong. Going all through today without hitting my pen was a challenge and I still feel like I want to/need to.

Goldendoodle ran away in Oildale

My friend’s goldendoodle ran away from her aunt’s house in Oildale between Norris/Decateur and Airport/Chester around 630pm tonight on Thanksgiving if anyone spots her. Her name is Murray but she’s probably scared and she’s very fast, so just message me and I’ll connect you.

Thank you!

You don’t realize how loud Bakersfield is until you leave.

Came to Pine Mountain Club for the holiday and holy shit it’s quiet and peaceful here. I hate how loud our city is. Everyone on E.California anyway thinks their car sounds amazing and they drive like assholes all day.
