Bakersfield

Bakersfield isn’t one of the main cities that come to mind when you think of California, but it still deserves a place on this list. Conveniently located between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Bakersfield has so much to offer, including great parks, restaurants, and plenty of jobs. In fact, Bakersfield is known for both agriculture and energy production, so there are many opportunities within these industries. In addition, Bakersfield is generally more affordable than the rest of California, so this is a great place to move to if Los Angeles and San Francisco are too expensive. Check out these Bakersfield CA homes to discover what you could purchase in this city.

Los Angeles

If you’re hoping to make it in the entertainment industry, then Los Angeles is the best place to move to. This city may be expensive, but there are so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities you can find there. In addition to Hollywood, Los Angeles has a booming service industry and technology industry. There’s also a lot of cultural diversity and many different restaurants and bars to visit.

San Diego

Located on the border between the US and Mexico, San Diego has a very hot and sunny climate. San Diego is also a coastal city, making it perfect for beachgoers and surfers. Therefore, if you love to be active and enjoy experiencing the great outdoors, San Diego should be the perfect city for you.

Santa Rosa

If you prefer slightly smaller cities, then Santa Rosa could be a great choice. This city is located further north than San Diego and Los Angeles, which means it has a slightly cooler climate – perfect for those who find too much heat uncomfortable. Santa Rosa is located in Sonoma County, which is within California’s Wine Country. This is one of the best wine-growing regions in the world, so if you love wine and fine dining, why not move to Santa Rosa?

San Francisco

San Francisco is one of the best cities to move to if you work in the technology and financial sectors. This diverse, modern city is a great place to advance your career and also surround yourself with art and culture. Furthermore, there are so many iconic sights to see, such as San Francisco’s famous cable cars and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Melissa Sloan said her grandmother died first and when her body was removed from the room, her husband followed.

“All Don wanted was to be with his beautiful wife. He adored my grandmother, loved her to the end of the earth,” Melissa Sloan told KERO-TV.

Don Simpson was 90 and Maxine was 87, and they met at a bowling alley in Bakersfield in 1952, getting married in the same year.

When civil engineer Don Simpson worked for the US Army, the couple spent some time in Germany, where they adopted twin 18-month-old boys from an orphanage.

They returned to Bakersfield, where Maxine worked as a nurse and Don owned his own engineering firm.

Don and Maxine Simpson are survived by one son and five grandchildren.

Tara the Hero Cat, who saved 4-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo from a neighborhood dog in California, threw out the ceremonial first pitch at a minor league baseball game Tuesday.

Tara was held by owner Roger Triantafilo as a baseball tied to a fishing line was pulled toward home plate at a game of the Bakersfield Blaze, an affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds.

The cat became an Internet sensation last week after surveillance video of her rushing a dog that was mauling the boy went viral.

Jeremy Triantafilo, Roger’s son, was playing in his family’s driveway in Bakersfield, California, when the K-9 ran up and grabbed his leg.

Tara, a stray adopted by the Triantafilo family six years ago, pounced into action and chased off the attacker.

Jeremy Triantafilo received 10 stitches for two lacerations to his calf. The dog was quarantined and will reportedly be euthanized.

Tara, the Bakersfield cat who was caught on video saving a boy from a dog attack, has been invited to “throw” the first pitch at a baseball game.

Tara would appear at the next home game of the minor league team Bakersfield Blaze, its representatives said.

“It sounds crazy. But we’ve got a trick up our sleeve,” team member Dan Besbris said, without giving further details.

Tara became a YouTube sensation after saving four-year-old Jeremy Triantafilo from the neighbor’s dog attack.

The California family’s CCTV video shows the dog biting and dragging the boy in a driveway in Bakersfield earlier this week.

The cat then pounces on and chases away the dog, described as a Labrador-Chow mix.

Jeremy Triantafilo – who needed stitches after the attack – praised his cat.

“She’s a hero,” he said.

The dog is now in quarantine and is expected to be put down.

The moment was caught on CCTV and became viral the internet yesterday, attracting over 5 million views on YouTube.

ABC News went to interview Jeremy Triantafilo and his parents, who explained that Tara followed them home from the park five years ago and has lived with them ever since.

The cat immediately took to sleeping in Jeremy’s crib with him when he was a baby, and formed a strong bond with the boy as was proven in her fearless rescue.

Jeremy Triantafilo received a nasty bite from the dog that needed stitches, but is now recovering at home.

Bakersfield police identified the attacking dog as an eight-month-old Labrador-Chow mix, who apparently was known for having a dislike for children and bicycles.
