So when I made the drive to the visitor center I was blown away by the nice, friendly, informative setup. There is a large parking area right next to the 24/7 operating borax strip mine. It has a really nice visitor center with museum style exhibits, photos, historical information, and a theater which shows an educational film. There are friendly, knowledgeable volunteers and a nice little gift shop with lots of free pamphlets too. The top of the visitor center is a large observation deck from which you can view the huge operation. Nice photo ops here. Not a short drive but really glad I came.

During one of the most difficult times in our family's life, House of Flowers in Bakersfield went…read moreabove and beyond for us. I had called a few other florists in town, but from the very first conversation, House of Flowers stood out. The owner, Amanda, immediately offered her sincere condolences and treated me with genuine kindness and compassion. That meant more than she probably knows. I shared with Amanda that my mother was a huge Los Angeles Dodgers fan, and without hesitation she suggested incorporating the Dodgers' team colors into the arrangements. That personal touch meant everything to our family. The flower arrangements were absolutely beautiful -- truly amazing. They were elegant, meaningful, and a perfect tribute to my mom. You could see the care and thought that went into every detail. Thank you, Amanda, for your exceptional customer service, your compassion, and for helping us honor my mother in such a special way. We couldn't have been happier.

It is actually not as easy as I thought to find a laser engraving…read morebusiness that will laser engrave a hydroflask (and not the acrylic sticker type)-- but Sketchlyfe studio responds super quick. I love that you can text Carlos about what you're looking for and he is friendly/professional. He explains what you need to do in regards of sending him the image/engraving (saving it in a specific format, etc). This was my first time doing any type of personalization business wise for a hydroflask and I would not hesitate to work with him in the future. He does all types of engravings from tumblers to flasks to trophies to cutting boards and etc. Reach out to him with any personalization and he will definitely do his best to work with you!

I asked for the rest of my money back, which would be four months rent that they owe me. I went in and asked for it and they said that because people don't pay their rent there, I can't give you the money back, but please come back at the end of the month. I will ask my brother if it's OK if I can give you your money back that's four months rent that they owe me and I am still trying to collect it. It's poor management and very unfair practice. I would not recommend anyone using this place because of their unfair, practice of not giving back what is owed to the customer when it's asked for.i went n again to talk to ricks wife and she wasn't there i called again and his wife wasn't there then i was told she contacted me about my refund and i never got a called and y then Rick tells Me that she will only give back some of the money not all of it I was only asking for the august thru November months which would come to 80$ if rick values customer service I find this very unfair customer service that every time I try to ask for his wife she seems to always be gone then Rick says there were notes left that she checked into the post office about refund and he said he couldn't understand what she was talking about. Well, yes there is just a partial refund allowed back to me August through November which would come to $80 because it is $20 a month too rent one of the post boxes Resolved Ok Annie call me explain rules of post office and apparently u are not allowed full refunds so this is how the government works on keeping money that is right fully the customers and I find n future to never pay ahead on post office boxes she was very kind about the whole situation and has been resolved
