Fresno is an interesting place to me. It's located halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles and is California's fifth largest city with 500,000 people. The main industry here is agriculture, and the city prides itself that it is the closest city to Yosemite National Park, only 1 1/2 hours away. However, the city is out-of-step with the rest of the state. It has a very mid-western American feel to it and is considered the "Bible Belt" of California. It is very conservative and many residents want it to retain the small country town feel, even though it is a large city. This has stumped growth and many workers are unskilled immigrants, not allowing any other industries to help the economy. The city has so much potential and has grand architecture, but is decaying and it feels abandoned. I almost felt like I was on the set of "I Am Legend" while walking around. Nevertheless, enjoy the photos of the California you rarely see.
Fresno Welcomes You!
