My son and I took two shots today. If you have heard of the late Buck Owens, then you may have heard of the Crystal Palace, Buck's music hall, nightclub, bar, restaurant, and museum:



Adjacent to the Crystal Palace is the remade "Bakersfield" sign that used to cover a pedestrian bridge across Union Avenue. The bridge got too old and weak, and had to be torn down. So, prior to his passing, Buck had portions of the sign saved and used these elements to build a new version next to his Crystal Palace.
