A stunning Riverside Park reopens in Kernville two years after flood damage

3 days ago | bakersfield.com | Steven Mayer

By STEVEN MAYER [email protected] Riverside Park in Kernville reopened this weekend, two years after being virtually destroyed by floodwaters during the historic 2023 water year. The restoration of the park, built alongside the upper Kern River, comes just in time for the spring and summer influx of tourism that helps support hotels, restaurants, local markets and many other small businesses in the Kern River Valley.

6 days ago | bakersfield.com | Steven Mayer

Kern County Museum Director Mike McCoy is a natural storyteller, a yarn-spinner in the tradition of Mark Twain. On Wednesday night, McCoy gathered a healthy crowd inside the museum's transportation exhibit where he used his considerable storytelling skills (and his ability to make people laugh) to share the story of the Oildale bar known as Trout's and the honky-tonk's infamous neon sign that disappeared one day in May 2017. kAm%96 AC@AC:6E@C @7 E96 32C 2E E96 E:>6[ p==2?
