I’ve lived in Bakersfield all my life and I’ve never had a problem going out.. yes there’s a lot of violence but it’s not even as bad as it is. Union is where all the horrible things are (edit: there is a lot of sex trafficking here though, it’s sad.)
Make sure u drive on Decatur. You will see kkk on trash cans. Ironically you can hear gangsta rap from those houses lol makes me laugh when I drove by blasting my Hispanic music.
They used to hang people off the bridge. But he is over here talking crap about the Eastside??? Union Ave isn't the EAST SIDE. This is HIGHLY offensive.
Lamont, I think these drive through videos with you talking about these areas are good. You have your ear to the ground in ways other CZcamsrs do not, so you get the real perspective of an area with you. Thanks

I live on the east side right by the homeless shelter and never had one problem for 3 years. Right by where you were driving in the beginning on Baker. I lived on 3rd and King.
I live in Bakersfield and I do not live in an area of evil living.I live much better than many who are commenting all cities have bad neighborhoods like this video you are watching
These vids are Great I have never been to America & thanks to you I get to see lots of different parts of it Thank you Lamont I appreciate youP.S. Come to England
It was much worse in the 90s.. I'm of Mexican decent and would run around when I was a kid telling everyone I was a crip!😳 Not even understanding what that meant! My neighbor/best friends family were all crips and she was like.. my momma a crip, my daddy a crip, my granny and grampa a crip, I'm a crip and you a crip too! 😅 When I was about 13, she was 16.. she did a drive by and not knowing, killed a friend of ours from school who was hanging with bloods.. they were actually friends as well and didn't know she was in the crowd of bloods when she was shooting. I read she got like 16 years.. that whole situation is still depressing to me! They were both cool af!!

Great video.I just enjoy seeing the scenery.I probably never will see places in different states.so i do enjoy these kind of videos.I don't want you taking too many risks just for my enjoyment so stay safe my brother.
I'm staying at the Hilton on Brimhall and Coffe rd and I decided to go for a walk around 1am. I walk out of the parking lot and I see a high speed police chase happening on Coffe rd. I then walked towards the Albertsons and not even a mile in a see a dude stalking me. He was watching me and following me. I ran across the street and he started to follow luckily I outran him. I made it back to the hotel quickly. I've never been so nervous about walking at night before.
This makes me very sad. I lived there 35 years ago. It has completely gone down hill. Bakersfield was a nice blend city in the 70s & 80s. There were some homeless but it wasn't this seedy back then. Good video
I used to live in Oildale. My neighborhood wasn't so bad. I just couldn't understand why people would walk along Chester Ave. late at night when 99% of the stores were closed. Even women would walk around at 3:00 A.M. all by themselves.
I grew up in east Bakersfield and it was way different back then. I grew up in the 70s. The best time to be a kid. 😁 We didn't really have to worry about gangs and gang violence. I live in Texas now and this video is making me homesick. ☹
@@Tactoe223 well depends cottonwood is in country boy crip area off planz and further down it goes through the okies territory all the way until California ave is where it ends
@@Tactoe223 yes at that point I'd certainly call it east side Colonia something like that but yea cottonwood/planz is country boy crips area and cottonwood/Brundage is okies and further down shit I don't remember but I'd say Colonia since California connects east off to Mt Vernon and so on so yea it's something like that
I got a clear memory of my uncles wedding on the east of bakers & me n my cousins went to the store on the way back on the 2nd floor of an apartment complex you see a man on his balcony cleaning and assembling back his AK 47 style rifle, never forget that memory he was so nonchalant
I got my windows tinted at a little shop right there on East California and union. Lol sat out there for a few hours by the sidewalk. It’s a a good idea not to lock eyes with anyone. But watch out. Everything East of the 99 and anywhere in oildale is run down to say the least. Speaking of oildale me and my dad got a boob show from some transient there flashing her stuff at an ambulance rolling lights and sirens to either a shooting, stabbing or OD. Anyone who blasts the Kern county sheriff’s office for being to rough are either criminals, know criminals or are completely ignorant to what they deal with. It’s worse than LA.

I've been through just about every hood in Bfl. I have stories about Cottonwood,, Lakeview, Potomac,etc. You are right about not being out after dark. Anyway streetsmart, minding your own business and being armed are key around these parts. Otherwise citywide car and pick-up thefts are rampant. It's cheap for a reason. By the way I am from Lamont. Grew up there during the 70s& 80s.
Like I always say if your somewhere you don't belong or if your out looking for trouble it ain't hard to find , in Bakersfield or anywhere for that matter czcams.com/video/-O-KZF5T9aE/video.html
Thanks for sharing but east side Bakersfield is no way as bad as you're making it our to be. If you act like a clown and look for trouble, you can find it anywhere. You should highlight how good the food is on the eastside, all the history on the eastside, lots of good locally owned shops and as long as you are respectful nobody is going to mess with you. Just look like you belong there and don't walk around looking scared. Bakersfield rocks, our music rocks, our parties rock, and our food rocks, nothing to turn away from.
I lived there it wasn't much to do but visit the hole in the ground which was a scenic adventure the cliffs was in my backyard I lived off B street , it's hard to breathe valley fever plus the water tasted like pure oil. Part of Bakersfield looked like it was part of an ancient ocean.
I was born and raised in Bakersfield, CA. On Union Ave. Starliter Motel. LoL! So glad I was able to move when I got older. Will be back next year for a family reunion.
If you do another video i think it would be interesting to show the the diversity in living quality, how down bad it looks on one end and then migrating to the sw side how good some people have it. Community differences
Trippin man. East side is the best. Been in Bakersfield since 1982 it's Eastside till I die. Biggest gang you got to worry about in Bakersfield is the BPD.
I lived in Bakersfield a lot of years. It used to be a good town, but the east side has always been bad. The good parts of Bakersfield keep spreading further and further outside of Bakersfield proper. At around 6 minutes in video Oildale was mentioned. It should be revisited by Mr Bugatti, because it has gone to hell in a hand basket. I moved around 18 years ago, and have no intention on ever moving back.
Some Oildale neighborhoods look nice (north of China Grade Loop). I used to live in that area, and I liked going to Zorba's for breakfast. There's a lot of crap between Roberts Lane and Norris Rd. I see a lot of people with no ambition to get a job. They just hang around 7-11 all day or collect cans & bottles for the recycling center.
Bakersfield and oildale go together I'm a native her if u don't like oildale u don't like Bakersfield.. sorry thank goodness u moved we need positive people here..,👍👍
@@gabrieltorres8597 Thank you for the kind words, but I am a positive person. I am positive that my family and myself are happier, safer, and better off financially since we moved. But you keep that stiff upper lip!
I was raised in La Colonia Across from Mt. Vernon school lol I was a busboy at La Colonia Restaurant! Man being a little kid in the barrio it was the best of times it was the worst of times!
I recommend the movie "The Onion Field". I was born in Bakersfield and moved to Germany when I was nine. Since then I've been back for visits about 3 or 4 times. On a visit in the early 90's with my brother, we drove through the East Side to look at Cotton Wood Road (mentioned in the movie) and stopped at a gas station in the evening after dark. There was a flashy car with some kids hanging around parked there and they gave us white guys a good stare in disbelief after my brother casually called me a "coño" while approaching the car after getting some beer. lol We told my dad who lives there near the Valley Plaza the next day and he angrily said "You fools! I told you not to go to East Bakersfield!" Bakersfield is becoming a sh/thole like all cities in California.
I heard the air quality is bad there. I know someone whose baby had a terrible persistent cough when they lived there. A lot of dust in the air apparently.
I lived a half mile from Bakersfield College for 3 years over a decade ago dude . It wasn't that bad where I was . However yes I'm very familiar with those particular gangs ( disruptive groups ) . Best to leave them alone .

You're in my town :):) lived here my whole life and you are not wrong about the crime. You should visit Buck Owen's grave while you're here. Also don't forget Oildale lol ( pickerwoods is one the biggest gangs there), I lived there off and on for 10 years and the crime there is terrible
Yes he was, but he lived here for many many years. He started the bakersfield sound with Merl Haggard who was born and raised here. Have you ever heard of Crystal Palace? That was Buck Owen's place, he played there up until he died.
im born and raised in bakersfield,back in the 1980 it was really bad,i know i was a nuckle head then you couldnt walk the streets ,but now thier low key night crawlers, south side were its happening everday somebody is getting kill,just got to watch your surrounding,be safe.

Played football at BC 19 years ago. Haven't been back since. Going to be there in 2 weeks. East Bako is where a boy became a man, I'll say that. Dropped in behind the lines from the suburbs of Minneapolis :). It was different! But I love Bakersfield. Always something happening on the East side.
Actually really good you do these video’s for one thing it helps others to know exactly where to avoid when they are traveling. I don’t even walk around a quiet town at night anymore you just never know when you could be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If you're on Bakersfield maybe try and hook up with AV and/Crenshaw. You would be able to get the Story about the 2 missing toddlers o Out to your subscribers. Any attention to this story to help find these boys would be awesome. Thank you for everything you do Lot's of love from Canada Krash
Right were he stopped the video, if you happen to go beyond the intersection, I recommend anyone to go to the New Saigon restaurant. Best Pho bowls in Bakersfield and even better than most I've had in LA. Highly recommended.

Is this Lamont at Large?
Good job, dude! Helpful before I move there for a short stint .
I'm planning on moving their too so this video was most helpful.... But then again I've done some google searching as well.....
Are You From The Bakersfield Area?
You're in my town :):) lived here my whole life and you are not wrong about the crime. You should visit Buck Owen's grave while you're here. Also don't forget Oildale lol ( pickerwoods is one the biggest gangs there), I lived there off and on for 10 years and the crime there is terrible
Buck Owens was a product of Texas.
Yes he was, but he lived here for many many years. He started the bakersfield sound with Merl Haggard who was born and raised here. Have you ever heard of Crystal Palace? That was Buck Owen's place, he played there up until he died.
He is buried at Greenlawn southwest on Panama Lane
Lol got to love bakersfield
im born and raised in bakersfield,back in the 1980 it was really bad,i know i was a nuckle head then you couldnt walk the streets ,but now thier low key night crawlers, south side were its happening everday somebody is getting kill,just got to watch your surrounding,be safe.

Hey YOU ARE AWSOME IM THINKING OF MOVING TO “BF” NOT KNOWING WHICH SIDE OF TOWN IS OK. LORD HAVE MERCY . I WILL PRAY ABOUT THIS MOVE TO “BF” thanks for such a detailed tour be SAFE.
Sooo....did you end up moving?
Played football at BC 19 years ago. Haven't been back since. Going to be there in 2 weeks. East Bako is where a boy became a man, I'll say that. Dropped in behind the lines from the suburbs of Minneapolis :). It was different! But I love Bakersfield. Always something happening on the East side.
Did u end up moving?
@@OmarLopez-kh3dx I'll be there on the 21st. I haven't been back for 19 years. Gonna visit as part of my work. Can't wait.
Actually really good you do these video’s for one thing it helps others to know exactly where to avoid when they are traveling.
I don’t even walk around a quiet town at night anymore you just never know when you could be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
If you're on Bakersfield maybe try and hook up with AV and/Crenshaw. You would be able to get the Story about the 2 missing toddlers o
Out to your subscribers. Any attention to this story to help find these boys would be awesome. Thank you for everything you do
Lot's of love from Canada

Nah man was looking over his shoulder bc he not dumb, always gotta be on ya toes
✊🏿
please do another video cruzing on ming to caswel ave to neighborhood parks in that area 2022
I know this isn't important but it's crazy to see that gas was like 2$ last year; now it's 4-5$
He didn’t drive his ass in the hood 😂😂😂😂
I think we all like that Lamont just tells it how it is
Right were he stopped the video, if you happen to go beyond the intersection, I recommend anyone to go to the New Saigon restaurant. Best Pho bowls in Bakersfield and even better than most I've had in LA. Highly recommended.
Best lemongrass chicken and vermicelli dishes. Sucks that the Asian market got replaced there
Reminds me of the country side in gta
