It is located over Sillect Avenue, where the street intersects with Buck Owens Boulevard, to the northwest of Downtown Bakersfield.

[1] That road was a part of the Golden State Highway (US 99), which was the main connector between Northern and Southern California by the San Joaquin Valley.

Most of the Central Valley communities along US 99 had an arched sign spanning the highway to welcome drivers to the towns and cities that they were entering.

Once the towers were built, the arched steel sign truss was carried down the street by crane in the early morning hours and stored on country singer Buck Owens' property to allow other trades access to perform their work.

On the Fourth of July, the arched sign was erected next to the Buck Owens Crystal Palace in front of a large crowd.

[4] By rebuilding the sign and using what original components could be salvaged, it was again visible to the important Golden State Highway route.
