Chukchansi Park is home the the Pacific Coast Fresno Grizzlies baseball and Fresno Fuego minor league soccer teams. The stadium was originally city owned but is now sponsored by the Indian casino corporation of the same name that operates a gambling casino in the foothills between Fresno and Yosemite National Park. The Stadium also has a children's playground and old fashioned carousel. The Stadium is also very close to the Greyhound Bus Terminal. Leave a Comment

Fulton Mall is the original downtown street. Once called J street, in 1877 it was a dirt road lined by woodframed buildings--a flour mill and boarding house owned by Calvin Jones. Dedicated in 1964, Fulton Mall is a paved center of pedestrian activity, shaded by trees and numerous historic high rise buildings dating between 1910 and the 1930's. I found the pavement in need of updating from the fractured concrete slab materials, but otherwise the shade of the trees provided pleasant relief from hot central valley sun. There are a number of sidewalk cafes in approximately six block long Fulton Mall. There are also music venues and fountains. Leave a Comment

There were at least several more big buildings that I couldn't take time to adequately photography, if those presented earlier are captured fairly. These buildings range mostly between the teens and twenties of the 20th century. I had a difficult time identifying them during late image sorting and background reading, but I believe these images are of the Helm building (1914), which is another rennaissance revival building facade designed by architect George Kelham.

Also on the Fulton Mall is the dramatic Pacific Southwest Building (1923) designed by Fresno architect R.F. Felchlin in the popular rennaisance revival style. Leave a Comment

Often described as a little slice of the Bay Area in the middle of the Valley. Centered around the Historic Tower Theater(you'll know it when you see it). Good live local music, used book stores, used record stores, good restaurants, and a generally bohemian population. Leave a Comment Directions: Olive Ave between Blackstone and Fruit and surrounding neighborhood.

Those are the only things I can think of to do in Fresno. Take 41 to Yosemite. It's only about an hour's drive. That's a plus. Outside of that, my impression of Fresno when I lived there years ago as a student was that it's a place of endless strip malls and chain restaurants populated by citizens who drive with their right turn signals blinking. I have friends and a brother who live there, and the place hasn't changed much over the years. Be sure to visit the Water Tower. It looks like - a water tower. Many towns have them. But in Fresno, it's a source of pride. Whatever floats one's boat. Shrug.
