The little house to the south of Tehachapi Community Church, on the corner of Green and E streets and built in 1938, was the first parsonage for the church. However, a parsonage has not been provided for many years because pastors prefer homes of their own choosing. TCC still owns the little house, which is now a rental house.

What to expect from a timing belt replacement service On the list of engine maintenance items, one of the most important after consistent oil changes is timing belt replacement. For the engine's valves to open and shut at the appropriate times relative to the position of the pistons, a timing belt is used to synchronize the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft. Unfortunately, timing belt replacement isn't nearly as quick or easy as an oil change, nor is it as low-priced. Regardless, it is...

"Altar" is a term many of us associate with the church. The Oxford Dictionary definition of an altar is, "the table in a Christian church at which the bread and wine are consecrated in communion services." The Christian church is not the only religious sect to use altars in their worship. Altars can be found at many places of worship such as temples and shrines and are commonly associated with paganism, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism. An altar is meant to be a sacred space, be it in a house of...

This old mine was rediscovered by the Narbeau b...
"We moved to Tehachapi in winter, and I expected it to be cold, but what really made me realize that we lived in the mountains now was the fact that I needed a light jacket to watch the July 4th firework display." – Carol Landers...
Brakes that work properly are essential to your safety. You want to carefully maintain your brakes. In vehicles equipped with drum brakes, the brake components are housed inside a drum that rotates with the wheel. When you step on the brake pedal, brake shoes push out against the inside of the drum, slowing the wheel. Now brake shoes just wear away with use from rubbing on the drum as you brake. When it's time to replace brake shoes, it's a straight-forward repair. If you hear squealing or...
Cleaning up is a springtime tradition, and Tehachapi Museum certainly needed that attention.

It was dubbed 'The Prosperity Special' by the president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works when it began its cross country trek over ninety years ago. This is the story of that most unusual train. As the second decade dawned in the twentieth century, the world was in disarra...
