    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — It’s been more than 20 years in the making and now Bakersfield Commons is finally under construction. It’s not what we thought it might be when this started however: No baseball stadium and no residential housing. At least something here is finally happening. The 255-acre parcel is spread roughly between Brimhall Road and Rosedale Highway, split down the middle by Coffee Road.

    BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) – They have a tradition at the Brundage Lane Navigation Center: Graduates get a parade. Not the traditional kind. No baton twirlers, no trombones. It’s more like a gauntlet of joy, with employees and fellow navigation center residents sending off a fellow homeless center resident to the world of the housed with hoots and cheers. The closest thing to a musical instrument? Cowbell. And Navigation Center manager Theo Dues wants more cowbell.
