Finding Locations For "Honey Don't!"

I've restarted a project to watch as many movies filmed in Albuquerque, NM, as possible. Lately, I've enjoyed determining filming locations for "Honey Don't!", a sort-of hard-boiled detective mystery for the lesbian set, starring Margaret Qualley and Aubrey Plaza. 

The movie is set in Bakersfield, CA, and displays an all-too-familiar Hollywood bias, a disdain for flyover America. I don't like that bias. In a way, we are all from Bakersfield, or places like it. We need to respect Bakersfield. 

At the same time, the movie has an opening credits montage sequence featuring gritty old Bakersfield. I love montages like this: a thumbnail tour of the city!
