Fritz’s Backstory

Fritz wasn’t always a local expert. According to legend, he started as a tiny wanderer who loved nothing more than exploring Bakersfield’s streets, parks, and businesses. From the bustling shops on Gosford to the cozy cafés downtown, he made it his mission to learn everything he could about the city.

​

Over time, business owners got to know him. Locals started recognizing him. And before long, Fritz became the unofficial ambassador of “What’s good in Bakersfield.” Now, he’s part of our team — helping you discover the best places to shop, eat, relax, and explore.
