"The small town of Bakersfield"??

weird that they kept calling Bakersfield a "small town". A city of 500,000 people, with a metro population of 909,000 is hardly small. I forget what movie but I saw a film not too long ago that had a main character from Tulsa, and they kept saying she was a "small town girl" even tho Tulsa is about the same size as Bakersfield in this scenario. the only way ANYONE would call a city of half a million "small" would be if they were raised in LA or NYC and had literally never left.

This is actually pretty common for people who grew up in Bakersfield and other "small" large cities throughout California. Btw, Bakersfield is def sub 500k, not sure about the other number.
