If this baked Barstow, would LA be happy or sad?
No one outside those areas cares.
Then those people can shut the fuck up and keep it to themselves.
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.
