Bakersfield
A metropolitan city located, ironically, in the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley of California, in the United States, that believes it is a town and deeply embodies this concept in its culture.
Bakersfleid culture is punctuated by its insufferable summer heat and hatred from people from Los Angeles (LA). The summer of '11 featured over 25 days of consecutive triple digit heat, enhanced by air quality at least on a par with LA (again irony abounds..) Heat peaks at 5 0'clock pm and does not abate until 3:00 am if you're lucky.

If you are misguided or unfortunate enough to move to Bakersfield from LA, be advised and prepared to witness their collective ability to blackball and ostracize, yet try to understand this has become a genetic abnormality that binds the culture. Some believe it may be a protective mechanism (they know it sucks), as 'appearance' overrides all activities of the natives, who are, indeed, interesting to observe..especially in their native habitat.
