Posted on January 18th, 2010 No comments
Monday Night, The Padre Hotel in downtown Bakersfield had a Pre-Grand Opening Party, and Bakersfieldcelebs was there to catch it all. It was an A-LIST crowd and you had to be on the list to get in. We caught up with Kathy Butler of the DBA, several council members, and even the owners of The Padre Hotel. It was a black tie event complete with wine, champagne, hor’dourves, and even the cafe was open serving caramel latte‘s! Bakersfieldcelebs got in early and snapped a couple photos before all of the Bakersfield Celebrities arrived! Check out the photos!Bakersfieldcelebs only got a preview of the first floor, but we will return soon to cover the rest of this newly restored downtown landmark. When is it going to open to the public, well we hear the week of January 25th, but we’ll keep you posted!The Padre Hotel, 1702 18th Street Bakersfield, CA 93301 -

The Padre Hotel, lots of buzz about the opening of this Five Star Hotel, restaurant, cafe, bar, and nightclub! Bakersfieldcelebs had a tour about 3 weeks ago and all we have to say is amazing! The rooms are W The Court quality, the bars and nightclub first class all the way, and the main entrance brings back the feel of days past.
Opening date? We’ve heard January 25, 2010, and we’ll be there for it, with lots of photos to share.
The Padre Hotel located at the corner of H & 18th Street, in downtown Bakersfield.

Bakersfield, Sun Fun Stay Play…

This very cool, very retro sign, was placed along Hwy 99 in the 60’s. The idea behind the sign came from business owners along Union Ave. who were worried about losing business once Hwy 99 was built. The sign was huge, standing 49 feet tall and 60 feet wide. There were a total of two signs built, the first one went up in 1966, and the second in 1968, and they greeted drivers for years. Many years later the people of Bakersfield had grown tired of the phrase, and didn’t feel the signs were worth the upkeep. They were both torn down in 1983.There are a few stories that one of the sign’s is still in existence, somewhere, in some backyard up north, but many say that both signs had been scraped years ago. What a shame…
