Motorcycling in Bakersfield, CA: April 12, 2015

Written by Steve Johnson
padre hotel bakersfield
Bakersfield, CA has never been known as a tourist destination, let alone a place where motorcycle riders would see as a place to hang out in. Sash and I, on the other hand, were still able to make it a good two weeks here. We managed to find an afternoon ride out of town,...

Dickie O’Neal’s Irish Pub Restaurant

Written by Steve Johnson
Located in the uptown section of Palm Springs, CA, Dickie O’Neal’s Irish Pub Restaurant is bringing a taste of Youngstown, OH to the Coachella Valley. It’s been a life long dream of Michael Farber, a third-generation Irish-American from the blue collar East-Ohio town. “My pub is fashioned after the Irish-American pubs that cropped up around...

Guthrie’s Alley Cat, Bakersfield, CA

Written by Steve Johnson
Guthrie’s Alley Cat bar in Bakersfield, CA doesn’t stand out and make itself known.  That’s because it doesn’t have to. The landmark drinking establishment was founded in 1940, originally as Oscar’s Alley Cat, and still pours drinks well into the evening, with no shortage of customers. Located along Wall Street, which is actually an...

Cafe Moto, San Diego, CA

Donna Kaye’s Cafe, Bakersfield, CA

Written by Steve Johnson
Donna Kaye's Cafe, Bakersfield, CA
You might never notice it as you’re riding down Oak Street. The tiny cafe stands set back from the front parking lot, sandwiched between a barber shop and a used car lot, looking like it doesn’t want any attention. But that’s OK as far as locals are concerned. Sash and I walked into the...

Dos Brasas: Best Mexican Food in San Diego

Written by Steve Johnson
View Larger Map When you start from San Diego, the further east you go the worse the Mexican food gets. That’s not to say the tacos and burritos in Tucson or El Paso are bad, it’s just that San Diego seems to have a higher concentration of really good Mexican chow. Dos Brasas, located...

Rebecca’s Coffee House: San Diego’s Strange

Written by Steve Johnson
rebecca's coffee house
View Larger Map Rebecca’s Coffee House slowly filled with a group of unfamiliar faces, dressed in garb almost costume-like, but seemingly fitting for the eclectic clientele putting in orders for chai tea latte and vegan muffins. Since Sash and I first visited this place in San Diego’s bohemian-like South Park community, it’s been her...

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
