1 Reviews & Comments About Oildale
this top ten is BS north of Bakersfield it a s**t hole town called Oildale. half the people there are welfare recipient m**h heads. was born and raised there.I packed up all my c**p in a Uhaul my wife and 3 kids and got the h**l out of there 28 years ago.the few times I've went back was for funerals every time I got off I-5 onto the Oildale exit the moment i turn on Roberts lane I get sick feeling in the pit if my stomach. it's like the town is perpetually stuck in 1982. used to be a great oil town hard working people safe to walk the streets at night and raised your kids, m**h destroyed that town back in 82.. RIP Merle I'll swim Kern River again!
