Mento Buru, Skeletons Dance, In Music Filled Day Of The Dead Bash
Minus the skeleton face paint and dancing devil puppets, it was dancing as usual at the annual Day of the Dead show in Bakersfield featuring music from Mento Buru. Musical guests the Iron Outlaws, L.A.’s the Underground and a guest jam with members of the band Fishbone also livened up the night.
In 2007, the annual Day of the Dead show in Bakersfield was at the Nile Theater and featured local Dia de los Muertos artwork, cultural dancing and life-sized skeleton musicians. Mento Buru had been hitting the stage in past years with painted skeleton faces. But not this year as the 2008 event was held at Fishlips, also in downtown Bakersfield.

Mohawk Street Extension: Just Another Bridge To Nowhere?
Sources have told Truxtun Avenue that Granite Construction just bid on a new Bakersfield bridge over the Kern River. It's just part of a huge new roadway project that proposes to ease the traffic burden on existing roadways in the area.
But will this be a Bakersfield bridge to nowhere?
Take Mohawk Street for its short curving drive from California Avenue past apartments and commercial buildings. A lone restaurant called Woody's sits on the corner where Mohawk meets Truxtun Extension. While coming up to the intersection a driver can look straight ahead to strip of grass where frisbee golf courses are frequented by hardcore disk tossers. They can be seen playing any day of the week.
