Beautiful park a cross the street! School down the street.
Would be good for a rest home for this town. Alot of older people but medium income for town
community engagement with local orgs and non profits make a big difference in our town. Good opportunity for education at the community college and we also have a free institution at West Kern Learn, here locally.
