A quote from Rick Laxague in the article:
"I do have to thank the core people of Bakersfield, because what you've done is kept us open. You've stepped up, started buying our product again after we went through this major change to stay open, and you guys stepped up and did it. And that's Bakersfield, Kern County, the people, they do that. You know, I've lived in other places, not so much. Bakersfield people come together and get stuff done," Laxague said.
The Bakersfield landmark has been a community staple since 1887, changing names in the 1940's, and its third-generation owner says the people of Kern County are the reason it's still standing.
