good start to a video but it looks like you as well were surprised on how big Fresno really is. fresno is the 5th largest city in the state of California by population. SF is 4th, and Sacramento is 6th. Unfortunately looks like you went at what some may say is the worse time to go during the peak summer heat. You barely scratched the surface as you said and you should continue. Fresno is the closest major city to Yosemite and the other national parks (sierra national forest, kings national park, sequoia national park). It's literally in the backyard. The international airport in Fresno (FAT) is called Fresno Yosemite. It snows in fresno actually (fresno county) as there is a ski resort about an hour away along with sno parks during the winter but doesnt actually snow in the city so you can have your cake and eat it too and not have to deal with snow. Fresno also has cleaned up it's crime which was a big negative reputation it had especially in the 90s and early 00s. Currently in the mid to late 2010s, Fresno is in fact safer than Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland and other big cities in CA by comparison. gddlaw.com/2016/05/12/cities-california-dangerous/ and here: www.areavibes.com/compare-results/?place1=Oakland%2C%20CA&place2=Fresno%2C%20CA&place3=San%20Francisco%2C%20CA&place4=Sacramento%2C%20CA&place5=Los%20Angeles%2C%20CA#cri and here are some homicide stats For comparison: Fresno COUNTY (fresno, clovis, etc): 32 City of Oakland alone: 66 Alameda COUNTY (includes oakland): 85 Contra Costa COUNTY: 38 San Francisco: 42 bay area source: www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/09/bay-area-homicides-2018/ Fresno has certainly become a sleeper city and nice thing is its 2 hours from san jose, 3 hours from SF and 3 hours from LA if you wanted to do day trips, but as a city so big, there really isnt a need to regularly leave the city since it has usual big city amenities
Moises Alderson wow thanks for the pointers! Yes, I was definitely impressed and overwhelmed with the size of Fresno. I can't wait to go back actually. Thanks for watching!
@@ExploreAlways yes, i mentioned the pointers because i too was shocked on my visit and that stuff was pointed out to me. fresno doesnt seem like much also because the 99 is at the edge of the city, unlike other big cities where the main highways actually go through the middle so people get an idea of the size of it. You really have to go through 180 then the 41 and even 168 to see how large it is. There isnt enough HIGH PRODUCTION travel videos like this for the city and yours is really one of the first if only one of its kind. Hoping you do a follow up.
@@2JSRMY yea, but so will most of the entire san joaquin valley up and down california including towards Sac and the entire central valley region of CA. But look at las vegas and AZ, they have it worse. Fresno only suffers from this heat 2 months I guess 3 months if you are super sensitive to heat. but after that you have 9-10 months of great weather. I was looking at las vegas weather, and its generally 5-10 degrees hotter than fresno and they have like 2 months straight of 100+ degree weather. at least every now and then fresno dips to 90s haha. Az also is worse. And at least its dry heat. People in high humid places say they only get to 85-90 but feels like 110 and sweating because of the humidity and prefer the heat of the valley.
it was very weird seeing my city in this video! i loved how informative it was though! i wasn’t taught about our local history in school so this was nice to see :)
I love Fresno. I used to live in the foothills of Fresno county. When I was there I didn’t think much of it. Now that I’ve moved to Northern California all I want to do is move home. I know Fresno doesn’t have the best reputation in California but there’s no place I’d rather be
Thanks for posting this. Good to know more about the town I've loved my whole life. I have moved away a few times but I always missed my home town and I always find my way back home. We're a diverse city. I'm proud to be here with so many cultures. Basically we are all the same. We love food, sports, dancing, and celebrating our cultural heritage. If you were raised here, you know what I'm talking about. I feel this town produces not just agriculture, but a culture of talented artists, musicians, writers and teachers. Thank you for exploring us. Mona
can you please give me more update since my family is really afraid to move to Fresno , crime rate , low vibration of city , employment, and social life , entertainment, and education wise is kind of very difficult decision since we are moving from a very vibrant city of southern ca
I could tell you're driving along McKinley Ave throughout most of your video, passing by Fresno City College. I also see you went downtown and went by the Saroyan Theater, Selland Arena, and the Downtown Convention Center.

They have cleaned up downtown a lot once the ballpark went in. Now it just needs more night life. After an evening baseball he everything down there is closed and everyone is out in the North side of town lol. They have started trying to bring downtown back though. Alot of new condos, renovation of a lot of the best old big houses
I grew up going to downtown and also still go hang out with friends at night on Fulton mall .. It's changed extremely... They Put security guards... Lots more of White people and middle class seems like... Much of the original people and families have been pushed out...
I don't understand how you aren't getting more views and subs. Your videos are well made and informative, they also have that feel good vibe from watching the great content you produce. Hope you start getting more subs.
I'm from Madera CA but Fresno is one of my favorite places to go. My favorite place to go is in Fashion Fair Mall. Weird thing is that Yosemite IS in Madera, Yosemite is world famous but apparently Madera is not.😂
A little side note about the whole NorCal vs SoCal question, and I’m sure most long time residents already know about this so this one’s for the outsiders, but a few miles north of the San Joaquin River on Highway 99 there is a historic landmark in the center median called where the palm meets the pine. This spot marks the actual geographic dividing line between NorCal and SoCal and there is an actual palm tree next to a pine tree planted in the center median, and they’re full size trees so it’s not hard to see. But yeah, despite all that we consider ourselves the Central Valley or Central Cali.
Fresno..what a great city..been all over California,Arizona, Utah and Idaho and can't wait to feel that 105 degrees..especially at the downtown breweries..you should come and try them!!
Anyone remember cruising Blackstone or The Rainbow Ballroom?. How about listening to KYNO back in the day. I am now 77 yrs old, I remember Fulton Mall, Moonglow drive-in theater, Fort Miller Jr. High, McLane High, one of the first McDonalds to open in California, Gong's market at N.Fresno and Ashlan, anyone still around from the old days?
J Salman Just want to point out, as someone who was born in Fresno and raised in Central California, no one who actually lives here considers it Northern California. Only arrogant Bay Area residents think Central California is part of Northern California. There are 6 and a half million people in Central and 6 and a half million in the Bay Area. We are as much our own region as you guys are. We have our own culture and if I were trying to relate to you on some of the cultural similarities we DO have you would immediately point out to my face why we are not a part of you. Bay Area has its culture and it's world-renowned. But Central California is almost its own ethnicity. We are NOT Northern California. So please, if you are going to call us anything, call us Central California. Or, more specifically, the Central Valley.
I grew up in the area, and nobody here thinks Fresno is Nor Cal, or even So Cal. The only people that think anything North of Bakersfield is Nor Cal are people from So Cal. Everyone else is pretty much in agreement that Fresno is in the Central Valley.
I’ve lived in the Central Valley near Fresno my whole life. I guess we consider ourselves Central Cali. The only reason we may be considered closer to NorCal is because the drive to the Bay Area or to Sacramento is shorter than the drive to SoCal.
I live in Fresno California. I was born here, as was my father and my grandmother on my mother's side. We are neither northern or southern California. We in Fresno, consider ourselves in Central California. We've been thinking that for some time. I didn't know about the credit card. My first savings account when I lived up in Madera California was in Bank of America.
559 born and raised. Being in Central California is awesome! You have lakes all around you only 45 min away. The ocean is only a few hours away. Disneyland in 4 hours. Santa Cruz in 3 hours, same for Monterey or Pismo. Also Yosemite is in our backyard. Housing prices are way lower than North or south Cali.
That's interesting to learn Fresno was the test bed for the BofA credit card. Somewhat makes sense, the area used as tests for things like Starbucks, movies, and others to see how they'll do in other markets. Being a transplant to the area, came with the outsider perspective, quickly realized while it doesn't have the same levels of things to do as Bay or Southland, there still is a fairly enough to keep one busy. With the added benefit it's more laid back feel. Big benefits are being 45 min from Yosemite, 1 hr. to Vegas by plane, and a few hours drive from Bay area, Central Coast, and the Southland. Of course with all the nearby agriculture having access to all sorts of fruits and veggies. Still never gotten use to the heat, which is half the year. With the running joke that spring only lasts 2 weeks before it heats up with relief near Halloween. And yes, Fresno is "northern California" :-)

Fresno is one of several test cities in the country. My parents got one of those first Bank-America Cards in 1958. Before then each store had their own credit cards. And smaller stores did not even have credit. Bank America Card is now Visa.

Some Where I recommend to go in Fresno is underground garden and another place is the Big Fresno Fair when it’s open but yes Fresno belongs to Central Valley
It's kind of strange to do something about a county , that people don't know exist. I live here and it's nice to learn about something, that people use a lot when purchasing an item.
I would highly recommend if you're ever coming back to go see the Forestiere Underground Gardens. Also shows you a lot about Fresno's history and the place is absolutely breath-taking.
The video is correct. Fresno was, is, and has always been a "test market." I remember in the early 70s they tested a new method of listening to music --- the Cassette --- far before other markets.
I've lived here in the central valley my whole life and I have never ever been to kerney mansion. My favorite Japanese gardens, people go there to take their quince photos or wedding photos or whatever photo, last time I checked you had to pay twenty bucks to reserve an hour for photo shoots and they use to charge two dollars for extra people that weren't on the permit this was before the pandemic. Also I have never ever been to underground gardens.
Wow that is something i did not know about my hometown. Fresnada is the Central Valley. neither north or south. Oh and yeah Fresno summers are blazing hot. Well done my man Fresno needs as much positive re-inforcement as it can get its a tough city. My favorite places to go was Lost Lake and Millerton but that was back in the day in the 80s and 90s and also the San Jauquin was fun to explore too. Hensley lake was cool too use to go fishing up there. i also use to go camp up near squaw valley when i was a kid. Those days were fun. Inside the city the place to be was the Mall Manchester yes! manchester use to be fun to go to back in the 80s and early 90s in the mid 90s they built the island water park out near Highway city. Clovis lakes is another Water Park.
Also invented the raisin, and the "fresno scraper" (what became the modern bulldozer). Check out the Forestiere Underground Gardens, Blossom Trail (early spring), Woodward Park, Chaffee Zoo. We are close to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and 3 National Parks. (Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia) Visit Fresno in the Spring and early Fall for good mild weather.
They always say Fresno is Northern California, but it just isn’t. It’s always been a part of Central California, the area from Modesto to Bakersfield. Bureaucracy would rather have everyone think it’s part of Northern California, but we are our own metropolis that is large enough to stand on its own just like LA and SF.
Fresno is central California. Or true California depending on how you decide the geographical areas. From Bakersfield to Modesto, the entire width of the valley, can be called Central California. From the “grapevine” heading south is what you can consider Southern California only. We’re different people completely
We're above being designated with either Northern or Southern California. But if we have to be lumped into one, we are sort of the gateway to the North because of our proximity to Yosemite.
We're southern. Travel up the 99 north from Fresno, in Madera county on the median between the north and southbound lanes you'll see a palm tree and a pine tree. The palm marks the south, the pine the north. So technically, Fresno is in the southern half of California.
@@Duricas Castaic and Valencia and newhall could not cut it so Santa Clarita was invented- ZZZZZZZZ if Magic Mountain Did not buy cheap land there- Besides in Fresno Roads are straight. Maria;s deli is a plus , Ill give ya that
I was born and raised here in the Central Valley. I've always considered Fresno as part of Southern California, because SCE built their power generating facilities and structure at Shaver Lake which is north of here above Clovis. That power generation facility is credited today for lighting Los Angeles. All of PG&E in the south valley also gets their power from Southern California Edison facility at Shaver Lake. So despite what the "gang members say" I have to go with history.
hi everyone since i am planning to move to Fresno but i am little hesitate about the crime situation can someone give me updated info please online review is different then in person experience
I just bought a house here, I lived in San Jose for 10 years, and moved to Houston for 4 years, but end up bought a house in Fresno, hope it's less crime than Houston TX
I believe my City Can Be Major city As Sf & LA I feel They need to just rebuild more to downtown area Put the mall back up or Basketball team some record labels amusement parks etc add some Attraction to Fresno So when tourist come to the city they can leave with great things to say about the city
Fresno is the forgotten city of California. The most important of the valley but that's like saying the biggest shrimp The 5 is dead maybe that's why people dont visit as much as the coast and the 101
mr.potato head Fresno sucks. Tulare county is the most important. Agriculture is stronger there and don’t forget the World Ag, which draws more visitors to Tulare than Fresno ever has combined.
@@thinkaboutit1377 Tulare's a small city like 45 min south of Fresno. The world ag. draws a lot of visitors but the Fresno Fair does as well and the Fresno Chaffee Zoo has roughly in attendance every year, as well as two massive water parks in the summer drawing people from all over the valley, so I'm not sure where he draws that fantasy from.
Jacobe Solorio it’s not a fantasy. Ever hear of the Tulare county fair? You must not look up numbers. Tulare has its own water park, Visalia is right next door and has the adventure park, better parks, better national parks. Fresno is nothing special.
Check out Forestiere Gardens, the ultimate DIY villa for an unbelievably hard working and devout Christian with a lot of Mole DNA. INCREDIBLE! Out on W. Shaw not far from US 99.
for a city with like 650,000 people it’s pretty boring. we have one of the best universities in the country, Woodward Park, and probably the best zoo west of the rockies, but thats about it it’s only really interesting if ur a local with a car, and disposable income
The only thing I like about Fresno is Retail and Thrift Store Shopping! Too Hot in Summer Poverty Mass Immigration Crime did i say Poverty! Great Video Sincerely Thomas Raymond Fresno California!

Yes Fresno is concider Nor Cal. Come stay at the La Quinta by Wyndham Madera. It is the newest top hotel in medera just opened and beating out Hilton and marriot on all websites. Just FYI!
Erock Gman Fresno is not considered NorCal wtf are you talking about? It’s the Central Valley dumb ass. I’m from the Central Valley. Stop calling Fresno NorCal.
When I think of Fresno, which isn't often, I think of the mini-series Fresno in the 1980s, I think. A Spanish explorer eats something, which disgusts him and he spits it out saying "That tastes like Fresno". :)
Fresno is neither northern or southern, We're central california. Any real Cali bred fools know that theres not 2 parts of Cali but 3, Nor-Cal; So-Cal; and CEN-CAL!!!
Fresno is neither Southern or Northern Valley. Fresno is Central Valley. And we always get robbed by the state's government and super rich people. Fresno could have been an upgraded city decades ago, but business ties with government had greed made them shift the money to more popular cities. Anyways, 559 still have the goods for cheaper prices.

Outstanding video. Fresno is a great city!
Fresno is one of several test cities in the country. My parents got one of those first Bank-America Cards in 1958. Before then each store had their own credit cards. And smaller stores did not even have credit. Bank America Card is now Visa.
I grew up in Fresno and I didn't know the credit card story.
Bo Darville awesome! Thanks for watching.
thanks for the video! I don't know what blue checkmark on twitter you pissed off, but you deserve more views!
Seb E haha! Thanks for watching!
Cabalen Journeys wow fascinating! I didn't realize that!

Some Where I recommend to go in Fresno is underground garden and another place is the Big Fresno Fair when it’s open but yes Fresno belongs to Central Valley
FreSnO , Is CENTRAL VALLEY; in the heart of CALIFORNIA.... 🎶❤️🎵.......
It's kind of strange to do something about a county , that people don't know exist. I live here and it's nice to learn about something, that people use a lot when purchasing an item.
He said you don’t think of Fresno when you think of Yosemite lol when Yosemite is like right next to Fresno
The hottest time of the year is June through August. Average Summer temp is 99-103, but it can get upwards of 105-110 in mid-Summer.
I would highly recommend if you're ever coming back to go see the Forestiere Underground Gardens. Also shows you a lot about Fresno's history and the place is absolutely breath-taking.
Let’s see recommended places “city lights” “gold diggers” and “parkway ave” lol have fun
Don't forget Motel Drive lol
If you do ever go back to Fresno-- go during the spring for the Blossom Trail. Summer had the Taco Truck showdown (pre-covid) which was fun.
The video is correct. Fresno was, is, and has always been a "test market." I remember in the early 70s they tested a new method of listening to music --- the Cassette --- far before other markets.
Born and raised here in Fresno, CA. Crazy to see how big it's gotten. Over a million people in the metro area
About a million county-wide, but 600-650 thousand in the Fresno city limits.
@@911NightRanger wrong. Fresno has approximately 540,000 people within the city limits. Please check your facts.
I've lived here in the central valley my whole life and I have never ever been to kerney mansion. My favorite Japanese gardens, people go there to take their quince photos or wedding photos or whatever photo, last time I checked you had to pay twenty bucks to reserve an hour for photo shoots and they use to charge two dollars for extra people that weren't on the permit this was before the pandemic. Also I have never ever been to underground gardens.
Dont forget the amazing fishing area here in Fresno
Fresno, the place where it’s good to say “I used to live there”. lol
3:26 - 3:33 is near a Dollar Store :D
I lived in Fresno for over 18 years and im only 1-2 miles away from that store
Just wondering how that Fresno aquarium is going?
Still fundraising, and just that lonely sign off the 99.
Wow that is something i did not know about my hometown. Fresnada is the Central Valley. neither north or south. Oh and yeah Fresno summers are blazing hot. Well done my man Fresno needs as much positive re-inforcement as it can get its a tough city. My favorite places to go was Lost Lake and Millerton but that was back in the day in the 80s and 90s and also the San Jauquin was fun to explore too. Hensley lake was cool too use to go fishing up there. i also use to go camp up near squaw valley when i was a kid. Those days were fun. Inside the city the place to be was the Mall Manchester yes! manchester use to be fun to go to back in the 80s and early 90s in the mid 90s they built the island water park out near Highway city. Clovis lakes is another Water Park.
Southern California starts at North Fork, 30 miles north of Fresno.
Also invented the raisin, and the "fresno scraper" (what became the modern bulldozer). Check out the Forestiere Underground Gardens, Blossom Trail (early spring), Woodward Park, Chaffee Zoo. We are close to the mountains, rivers, lakes, and 3 National Parks. (Yosemite, Kings Canyon, Sequoia) Visit Fresno in the Spring and early Fall for good mild weather.
And we invented the modern landfill process of containing harmful trash
They always say Fresno is Northern California, but it just isn’t. It’s always been a part of Central California, the area from Modesto to Bakersfield.
Bureaucracy would rather have everyone think it’s part of Northern California, but we are our own metropolis that is large enough to stand on its own just like LA and SF.
I live here and didn't know about this
Forestiere Underground Gardens is incredible.
Underrated channel
plenty of lakes surrounding, Floating from Sanger to Reedley lots of outdoor stuff we dont take advantage of due to heat
Fresno is central California. Or true California depending on how you decide the geographical areas. From Bakersfield to Modesto, the entire width of the valley, can be called Central California. From the “grapevine” heading south is what you can consider Southern California only. We’re different people completely
Not many people agree, but Fresno is the best place to live in California.
RangerTim28 because it’s not Imfao
It’s not.... at all
We're above being designated with either Northern or Southern California. But if we have to be lumped into one, we are sort of the gateway to the North because of our proximity to Yosemite.
We're southern. Travel up the 99 north from Fresno, in Madera county on the median between the north and southbound lanes you'll see a palm tree and a pine tree. The palm marks the south, the pine the north. So technically, Fresno is in the southern half of California.
I live here and just got schooled nice video bro thanks !!!
Peter awesome, thanks for watching!
My favorite place Fresno and Olive my old stomping ground
My favorite spot in Fresno is in the rear view mirror heading back down south.
What city do you live in?
@@FPOAK Santa Clarita
@@Duricas Oh ok, that makes sense. I'd imagine many people raised in a type of city like Santa Clarita would feel uncomfortable in Fresno.
Type of City?
@@Duricas Castaic and Valencia and newhall could not cut it so Santa Clarita was invented- ZZZZZZZZ if Magic Mountain Did not buy cheap land there- Besides in Fresno Roads are straight. Maria;s deli is a plus , Ill give ya that
I was born and raised here in the Central Valley. I've always considered Fresno as part of Southern California, because SCE built their power generating facilities and structure at Shaver Lake which is north of here above Clovis. That power generation facility is credited today for lighting Los Angeles. All of PG&E in the south valley also gets their power from Southern California Edison facility at Shaver Lake. So despite what the "gang members say" I have to go with history.
bruh its neither ITS CEN CAL FOE LIFE YOU KNOW
chris putler 🤣👍 thanks!
Central California is how we identify 👌🏼
1:54 my street where I live lol
Love Fresno❤️❤️
hi everyone since i am planning to move to Fresno but i am little hesitate about the crime situation can someone give me updated info please online review is different then in person experience
Wow, my hometown helped contribute to this debt crisis we have in our nation. Unbelievable. Shame. But great videography.
V S #TheMoreYouKnow thanks for watching!
lovely video.
and I thought no one knew Fresno and I’m still surprised that the Tessa brooks is from Fresno...
We are Central Cali wtf you thought dude?
Nice job................
I'm surprised he didn't mention Club One.
I used to to work at that Popeyes on McKinley and First
I remember when that Popeye's used to be Pioneer Chicken!
I just bought a house here, I lived in San Jose for 10 years, and moved to Houston for 4 years, but end up bought a house in Fresno, hope it's less crime than Houston TX
Never heard of this little town. Sounds cool.
This little town has 500,000+ residents! We've been forgotten by much of the State
It’s really not that little.
Closer to 700K
We not little at all Bruh #559
@@geospaceangler5373 no it’s 540,000
Peace & Blessings
I believe my City Can Be Major city As Sf & LA I feel They need to just rebuild more to downtown area Put the mall back up or Basketball team some record labels amusement parks etc add some Attraction to Fresno So when tourist come to the city they can leave with great things to say about the city
Fresno is the forgotten city of California. The most important of the valley but that's like saying the biggest shrimp
The 5 is dead maybe that's why people dont visit as much as the coast and the 101
mr.potato head Fresno sucks. Tulare county is the most important. Agriculture is stronger there and don’t forget the World Ag, which draws more visitors to Tulare than Fresno ever has combined.
Orlando Nunez never heard of Tulare, where is it?
@@thinkaboutit1377 Tulare's a small city like 45 min south of Fresno. The world ag. draws a lot of visitors but the Fresno Fair does as well and the Fresno Chaffee Zoo has roughly in attendance every year, as well as two massive water parks in the summer drawing people from all over the valley, so I'm not sure where he draws that fantasy from.
Jacobe Solorio it’s not a fantasy. Ever hear of the Tulare county fair? You must not look up numbers. Tulare has its own water park, Visalia is right next door and has the adventure park, better parks, better national parks. Fresno is nothing special.
Check out Forestiere Gardens, the ultimate DIY villa for an unbelievably hard working and devout Christian with a lot of Mole DNA. INCREDIBLE! Out on W. Shaw not far from US 99.
💯👌😎👌💯
Its southern/central
The foothills ne of fresno 40_60 miles away is actually the geographical center of California so fresno is south of center
With as hot as it was you should have went to the underground garden.
MY FAVORITE PLACE TO GO HERE IN TOWN IS A PLACE CALLED FAB... NOT BECAUSE ITS FUN BUT BECAUSE ITS EXTREMELY FABOULOUS!!!!
Central Cali! 🙌
for a city with like 650,000 people it’s pretty boring. we have one of the best universities in the country, Woodward Park, and probably the best zoo west of the rockies, but thats about it
it’s only really interesting if ur a local with a car, and disposable income
Fresno has a population of 540,000 not 650,000!
Home sweet home
The only thing I like about Fresno is Retail and Thrift Store Shopping! Too Hot in Summer Poverty Mass Immigration Crime did i say Poverty! Great Video Sincerely Thomas Raymond Fresno California!
Fresno is Central Valley. I literally live here
Fresno is on the palm side of the pine and the palm

I'm seeing other comments against da portia gang n their quietphobia comments n I agree, but this a nice video btw
Yes Fresno is concider Nor Cal. Come stay at the La Quinta by Wyndham Madera. It is the newest top hotel in medera just opened and beating out Hilton and marriot on all websites. Just FYI!
Erock Gman Fresno is not considered NorCal wtf are you talking about? It’s the Central Valley dumb ass. I’m from the Central Valley. Stop calling Fresno NorCal.
You mad it look alot cleaner then it actually is hahaha
Haha glad I could help Fresno out. Thanks for watching. 🤘🏻

My home!
YALL I SAW MY SCHOOL DURING THIS 😂😂😂😂
When I think of Fresno, which isn't often, I think of the mini-series Fresno in the 1980s, I think. A Spanish explorer eats something, which disgusts him and he spits it out saying "That tastes like Fresno". :)
Fresno is neither northern or southern, We're central california. Any real Cali bred fools know that theres not 2 parts of Cali but 3, Nor-Cal; So-Cal; and CEN-CAL!!!
If you are averse to heat, anytime between July and October is a bad time to come to Fresno. It gets hot and then it stays hot well into the fall.
Actually madera ca is the geographical center of California
Fresno belongs to central California
The Unsociables thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
Its not either, it's central California
Fresno is neither Southern or Northern Valley. Fresno is Central Valley. And we always get robbed by the state's government and super rich people. Fresno could have been an upgraded city decades ago, but business ties with government had greed made them shift the money to more popular cities. Anyways, 559 still have the goods for cheaper prices.
