If this baked Barstow, would LA be happy or sad?
I say sad. Barstow is how you know you've made it back to California on a long road trip. You stop for gas and a little break, then get back on the 10 and stay on it until you burst out of the McClure Tunnel onto PCH.
No one outside those areas cares.
Then those people can shut the fuck up and keep it to themselves.
