Dang! This is so sad. I lived there long after that quake. But we had quake and bomb drills regularly. Bakersfield will always have a big piece of my heart.

No kidding! Why do they just let it sit there doing nothing with it?

I thought they were going too show a haunting, it said ghost ...I never heard of this quake before.
