A: In Bakersfield, There is Valley Plaza Mall, on Ming Avenue off Freeway 99. Click here for a map: http://maps.yahoo.com/map?q1=2701%20Ming%20Avenue%20Bakersfield,California%2093304&mag=5&ard=1#mvt=m&lat=35.339239&lon=-119.033125&mag=5&zoom=14&q1=2701%20Ming%20Avenue%20Bakersfield%2CCalifornia%2093304 The main "anchor" stores are Macy's, Gottschalks, Penney's and Sears, but of course there are tons of smaller stores as well. At this Web page, you can click on "select directory" to see the whole list: http://www.valleyplazamall.com/html/storedirectory.asp There is also a smaller mall, East Hills, which you can see here: http://www.bhmalls.com/malldirectory.html I hope this helps.
