They named that road after him when he bought the Bakersfield sign that’s right there. It used to be way over on Union Ave and was falling apart to the point where it was going to just be torn down. Whole city was up in arms. Buck bought it, moved it outside his dining establishment, and restored it. Once he did that, they named the street after him-- that was years ago. Merle just got his street recently, though they basically each have a street on the ends of Oildale- Merle on the North, Buck on the South.
I do now! (Thank you, Googlemaps). Tell me all about it and why I should go immediately, please :).
Yum yum. And they sell that ice cream at Disneyland! The more you know and all that jazz.
