Great place in Bear Valley Springs to grab bite to eat at the golf course. And unlike the country club, you don't have to be a member to visit and eat.

Arvin is the land of authentic Mexican food from the Guanajuato region of Mexico. I spend my money at the taco trucks on the west edge of town in the LATE AFTERNOON or EVENING. * The taco truck ON Bear Mountain Boulevard (SR 223) WEST OF Comanche Drive speaks English. * The taco truck ON Comanche Drive SOUTH OF Bear Mountain Boulevard does not speak English. Dona Mari will get the idea of what you want to order so don't be scared.

P-dubs is a great excuse to visit Stallion Springs and see our local mountains from a different perspective. P-Dubs has a surprisingly loaded, diverse, and thoughtful menu for such a small, off the beaten path place. I highly recommend paying them a visit.

Under the leadership of César E. Chávez and others such as Dolores Huerta and Larry Itliong, along with support from millions of Americans, the farm worker movement joined forces with other reform movements to achieve unprecedented successes that greatly improved working and living conditions and wages for farm workers.

If Mayberry (The Andy Griffith Show) had a movie theater, it would be much like The Hitching Post Theater. Small town entertainment at its most quaint.
