The new Tehachapi
I grew up in Tehachapi and was recently planning on moving back to what I called home. But a recent visit to go play in the snow was suddenly stopped. I was told rudely by citizen voulunteers at the entrance to Mountain Park, a place where I as a kid used to go every snow and tube or snowboard, that the park was closed and only residents could go up. When I replied with " really." I got, NO I am just sitting here in this car eating my burger for my health. I asked what the reason was. The volunteer told me that it was due to residents complaining. WOW, I thought little LA can't go anywhere do anything, with what some think as good growth. Tehachapi was just fine as a little town in the hills. I guess i will have to find a new town to call home since Tehachapi is no longer Tehachapi. I was going to try and raise my children somewhere that they could have fun and be free to play in the snow but it looks like Oregon will be my new home. So I say thank you to all of the uptight snotty people who now live there for helping me decide on not moving back to Tehachapi. My friends and I had a little saying back in high school, They'll come back, That was because we had friends who would move away but they always moved back. But now I can't stand the thought of it. Thank you and god bless I hope growth blesses you all more that friendly and quiet.

Poor Phillip. I too was raised in a different Tehachapi and miss it also, but guess what I still love it. When I grew up you could ride your bike all over town without worring about getting hit by a car. There was the bicycle freeway where KMart is at now, great place to get across town away from the adults and cars. I used to ride a motorcycle through the old Nunes Ranch on the dirt roads without a problem as long as we didn't get to close to the trees. Mountain Meadows had some really awesome motorcycle tracks to race around also. In high school we would party at the creek on Fridays, now the houses are to close to even get there. As i kids I could go just about anywhere I wanted to, now I would let my kids go a quarter of the places I did allow. Still I would rather live in Tehachapi than some of the other placed I lived during my tour in the Navy. |
