I have used City Hall only a couple times in the 16 years I have lived here. Just recently our…read morefamily applied for Passports and this is where we went. We printed applications on line and then went to AAA for passport photos. We called City Hall and scheduled appointment for the next week. We went in and paid the fee and we were done. Very easy process and received our passports quickly. The ladies working were very nice and helpful.

First, let me start by saying the servers were fantastic(besides forgetting my salad bowl). The…read moreManager however "Bryan" wearing the black life preserver, trying to look like a knock off Marty McFly. Was completely disrespectful. Not only did he call our table the "rowdy table", he also took our plates without allowing us to finish the food we had in front of us. One of my friends started feeling sick immediately after eating some shrimp cocktail, Bryan was notified of this and responded with "suck it up cupcake". Completely uncalled for and unprofessional if you ask me. Also, their website said they were "Classic Tuscany Italian", but in reality it looked like a raggedy firehouse on a Wednesday night. We waited forever for our main course and the meats were not cooked to our requests. Parking was terrible, we had to walk half a mile to the restaurant. If you plan on eating at this "establishment", just don't.... Olive Garden is a few towns over.

If you're in the area, and espcially if you're a train enthusiast, visiting the Tehachapi Loop…read moretrain track is worth a stop. It's free to visit the historical landmark recording this engineering feat, where you'll also have a good view of the loop. It's not guaranteed that you'll see a train pass by (I didn't!) but it's still worth seeing. Free admission and free parking at the historical marker.

We completely lucked out in getting to the overlook moments before a long freight train passed by…read more The loop isn't just one big loop, it goes around and around and the train coils around the tracks like a snake. It truly was an engineering feat and it is still in regular use. We also noticed that the plaque recognized the efforts by Chinese laborers from Guangdong for building this loop. They were previously erased from history but I am glad their contributions are now acknowledged after so many years.

We came here tonight for Bingo and the system is newly updated. The members are extremely…read morewelcoming and make you feel comfortable. The building and facilities are a little dated and could use some upgrading. They have a kitchen where they serve food for Bingo. Smelled good when we came in. Fun night of Bingo! Every Friday at 6 but doors open at 4 and it gets crowded. The metal chairs you sit on for three hours are extremely uncomfortable. I would suggest bring chair pads to sit on.

We happened to be there on a perfect day when High Desert Falconry visited for an educational program. It was so amazing learning about these beautiful birds. We learned so much from the husband and wife team. Definitely check out their website for any upcoming events. During the summer, they also have a lunch program for the kids from 11:30 to 12:30. This is the last week they are having it. It starts when the kids are out of school and runs to the end of July. That is, if they receive the funding to offer it. Hopefully they do, because it's so great. 7/23/25

They use up an entire table of four and use it for their dirty items. Only one person sitting at this table by the way. They are eating the entire place smells like jack in the box.

Yup I've got my Tehachapi Family to visit in my next life! What a different lifestyle than NYC…read more Britt definitely didn't like getting around in the city when she came for vacation. I've watched my Tehachapi Family grow by generations. Along with my Sister in Spirit Britt we have been through the death of loved ones, births and without a doubt lots of heath conditions. I hope Britt doesn't mind me saying that I mentored her in her quest to be Elite. I'm so proud of her and I enjoy seeing her attending events! Yes I used to exchange gifts with Britt years ago. She was the only one. She loved my Yelp Swag so I sent her big boxes. Definitely my Tehachapi grandbaby received a gift. The family grew so huge I had to stop! So I'm posting a couple pictures of my favorite gift from Britt. I've placed it where I can see it on my daughter's entry table. I currently use it for quick cash to give my building employees because at this point in time I need a lot of assistance! Always remember I love you and think of you daily my Tehachapi Fam! PS Do your research on the City and surrounding areas history before you visit. At one time there was a woman's prison located here. There's an old 1950's Black and White Movie about the woman's life imprisoned here. I enjoyed it! If I find it I will post a screenshot.
