May 23, 20196 yr Male offspring (age 25) took a job in Fresno that will last until at least Dec 2020 then will be relocated. Any advice on areas to rent apt/condo? Places to avoid? Any help is appreciated. I'll hang up and listen.
May 23, 20196 yr Ugh. Sorry for your loss. /Csb One of my best friends in the world is the assistant basketball coach there. Still sorry for your loss. \csb Edited May 23, 20196 yr by pops
May 23, 20196 yr I believe Johnny Jacobs said it best, "Fresno? Nobody goes to Fresno anymore." Little known fact: The City of Fresno has more people than Milwaukee, Oakland, Saint Louis, or Atlanta. But in all honesty, just avoid the West side. Everything else is fine.
May 28, 20196 yr Author anyone wanna drive from Houston to Fresno in a Uhaul truck full of furniture pulling a car hauler?
May 28, 20196 yr I know a very successful medical architect that chooses to live in Fresno. He makes plenty of money and could live pretty much anywhere. That's all I got.
May 28, 20196 yr The latest news story I read was about a Fresno minor league team being all political. Have fun with that!
May 29, 20196 yr On 5/22/2019 at 10:05 PM, Thetexashammer said: You can get porn and booze there. You pretty much NEED porn and booze in order to tolerate living there. A friend of mine refers to it as the "armpit" of California. Only redeeming feature is that it's relatively close to Yosemite and Kings Canyon National Parks, and the Sierras in general. Trivia tidbit: Substantial Hmong and Armenian populations live there.
May 29, 20196 yr The bad news is your son will have to join a street gang. The good news is that he will have plenty of options. In in all seriousness, best thing will be proximity to the sierras.

May 29, 20196 yr Author All these "bad things" are a bit disturbing for the dad but he's only there for about a year and half. It is my job to worry about him, regardless of his age. It's a great job for him. I hope it's worth it. Edited May 29, 20196 yr by smwhorn

May 29, 20196 yr Only saving grace for fresno is you're an hour from yosemite and about 2.5 from sequoia....do those any time you dont have to be in fresno
May 29, 20196 yr anyone wanna drive from Houston to Fresno in a Uhaul truck full of furniture pulling a car hauler?If you're paying
May 29, 20196 yr Basque food at Shepherd's Inn was pretty good (come hungry), but it's been many moons since I've eaten there so I can't really vouch for it now.

Just a little further in distance west is Paso Robles win country, San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. Best Farmers markets and roadside produce in the world. Avoid west Fresno and enjoy everything else.

June 2, 20196 yr Colleague and I got stuck in Fresno after testifying as a damages expert in trial (surprisingly there’s a federal courthouse there). After flight was cancelled, we paid a taxi driver to take us to San Jose. Most terrifying couple of hours of my life going 75 and not able to see more than 10 feet in front the car at night. Fog in Fresno sucks.
