Bakersfield, 1901. A boarding house by the rail yard that never stopped feeding people.

Gaur egun

It opens for breakfast, which almost no Basque dining room does, and runs through to a late bar.

Lehen

It went up near the Bakersfield train station in 1901 and took in Basque men who arrived by rail and left for the hills with a flock. The boarders are gone; the long tables stayed.
