My father's parents came to Fresno in 1913. My late father was a bell hop at both the Fresno Hotel and the Californian. There many movie stars and a few presidents who visited both hotels. I used to go to the JC Penneys Dept Store as a kid, and shopping the mezzanine. I often went down there to shop in my early 20's. My father grew up in Old German Town, and so did my grandmother on my mother's side. My dad attended the Evangelical Lutheran Cross Church. So much has changed in my home town!
Those buildings are Marvel's of engineering... That one by Chukchansi park would be crazy cool...... And let's not forget about the building with freaking marble floors... Imagine reopening hotel Fresno to be inspired by NYC's Plaza hotel... One can only imagine...
I think we need to asses our gang/violence issue here first before we start remodeling old buildings. They’ve been sitting long enough, they can wait.. our violence is out of control but sadly who knows if it will change..
never knew about these treasure in downtown Fresno Since we left Fresno in 2005 and now living in Chandler AZ. who knows what treasure building we might find in Downtown Chandler and Phoenix.
Well if everyone sits around just looking and thinking wow I wish you would come back well mama said wish in one hand and s*** in the other and see which one gets full of fastest so if you really want it done get out there and do something cuz only you can do it cuz this is beautiful I miss Fresno
And this is what keep downtown Fresno looking like crap,knock those POS run down buildings and build some new 20-30 story buildings and start looking like a modern city of 530,000

It’s truly a shame how they let downtown Fresno fall, there is no reason to go downtown anymore, they need to definitely restore it.

I look out my work window at this building every day and wonder, hope it will come back again. Beautiful even now.
I remember going with sister's and brother to J.C.Penny's for school shopping. Our mom would lead the way. This was most of the 60 and 70s.
I’ve been in all those buildings before this documentary it was so fun
how did you get in hotel fresno
Fresno does need to new updates, some clean up.
How about making his old historic building a nice library like New york public library?
Treasures right under our noses
Treasure that no one wants

Boy I sure miss home 🏡. People can poke fun at Fresno , however see all that beauty and not just lovely, Stephanie Berujian.
I've pass by the buildings on a Laidlaw bus number of time.
sweet. Thanks heaps.
great work
How much do these buildings go for per sqft?
Appreciate the video, but… Please mix the sound better.
If God gave the world an enema, Fresno is where he would put the hose!!!
The old pg&e building
Fresno is known for blight but some looks modern
Knock all those old buildings down and build some tall skyscrapers and places to live and get rid of the trash and bums..
They can't tear down the Bank of Italy Building and the Hotel Fresno because They're Historic Landmarks.
And this is what keep downtown Fresno looking like crap,knock those POS run down buildings and build some new 20-30 story buildings and start looking like a modern city of 530,000
yes we should do the same thing with NYC Plaza hotel and build newer modern hotel I don't thinks so.
VERY ORNATE , I BET THEY WISH THEY DID NOT TEAR THEM DOWN NOW.
damn. stop saying "iconic" you saying it's iconic doesn't make it iconic. it means nothing. you use it like its a style.
