We wanted to have 5 extra minutes to walk around. We were willing to pay the entrance fee as were two people behind us. He wouldn't budge and he was mean about it. Truth is it's really junky!

Prices are a bit expensive in my opinion to go in and look around the Ghost Town. Which I opted to…read morenot do due to the fee. The "antique store" is very small dark and you need to watch your footing.

It turns a small town of 2000 to 30,000 in a matter of days! This shop is owned and operated by a very friendly elderly lady that has struggled in previous years with theft. I don't believe it had anything to do with your color. Everyone heightens their awareness that weekend because there is a lot of unfamiliar faces. We love having tourists visit our town. We take great pride in that fact that it is beautiful and peaceful. Business owners that have seen some disrespectful things in the past (theft, trash, drunkenness) are just more aware and secure when there is a large event in town. Please visit us again soon.

I am a new resident, trying to save money to fix a leaky faucet. (Plus I recently found out how…read moreslow yet pricey professional house calls are in the KRV.) So while i watched numerous YouTubes and got some condescending "help" from chain hardware employees in the area, my bathtub dribble grew into a stream. Not just wasteful but getting scary $$. I was desperate! So i tried Archie's to try to find the right kind of washer and tools. The guys on the floor sent me to Jill. She not only coached me and let me borrow tools, she CAME TO MY HOUSE and returned TWICE to swap out tools and the washers and fixed it herself. She knows her stuff and cheerfully gives it away! A 21st century miracle!!!! Please know that this is NOT a service you can demand at Archie's; Jill offers her skills at HER discretion - she told me that she likes to help out other women because she understands how tough it can be for gals in the DIY/home repair field. Nevertheless I am now on Team Jill and a loyal fan forever. And Archie's is pretty high on my list, too! Very community based, broad inventory and staffed at least one amazing woman who knows her stuff and is generous and compassionate to desperate dummies! Thank you!!

My husband and I were looking for some AstroTurf to lay out in front of our trailer. We found exactly what we wanted and for a pretty good price. A bonus, we saw Peter Stormare from the Prisonbreak series in there getting some keys made. Totally a random place to see him too. Will definitely come back here should we need to.

Kernville was wall-to-wall people everyone enjoying the Mountains, sunshine, Kern, river, and America's 250th birthday. James store was busy as might be expected on the big holiday weekend. I headed to the meat department too many choices. I decided on 2 habanero and 2 black pepper chicken kebabs to barbecue and a 6 pack of carnation drumsticks for dessert. The store looked great decorated and fully stocked they were ready for 4 July holiday. Shelly my cashier was super, all check stands were open very little waiting. Our barbecued kebabs Saturday night were delicious seasoned perfect and the marinade just right. The drumsticks hit the spot as well. Happy birthday America
