So Tell Me About Fresno, Ca

[dtrain]

I'm from KS been here 12 1/2 years and love it. The Central Valley, for California, the cost of living isn't bad. Gas does get high at times(right now $3.75). I've lived in several places since I moved out here and I liked Fresno best of all. Now I live about 45 min south of Fresno. I can hit LA in 2 1/2 hours, SD 5 hours, SF 3 1/2 hours, Sacramento 3, the beach 2 hours, and the mountains 1 1/2 hours.

I live in Merced, about 45 min north of Fresno. I love the Valley. Allergies suck out here, but like i said i love our winters. Summers suck, its really ****ing hot. Its not bad out here at all. Its just not the city, but the cities hell all major ones arent far away.

Also, can go watch Fresno State play. they may not be elite, but that team never gives up and Pat Hill is ALWAYS trying to get games with the big named teams. Every once in a while, you can see a big NCAA team come down.

Hill brought CSU-Fresno into Manhattan in 04 and destroyed KSU. Then they beat the snot out of KSU in Fresno. We bought out the last embarrassment game.

I toured the campus with a guy who played baseball at Fresno St. We went into the stadium during their camp. Nice place. The reason I felt pretty comfortable is that the entire region is agribusiness driven. It seemed like a desert version of western Kansas. Kinda desolate. Few trees (Some palms, some fir, lots of scrub.)

But I really liked it. And to be that close to watching the Clippers or the Lakers or the even the A's is pretty cool

as much as i hate the Giants as well, Pac Bell Park is beautiful. I dont mind the A's, but the Collesium is a piece of shit. Yeah, like i said, far away from the big Cities, but close enough to go spend the day in the big city.

Tons of agriculture out here. I work for my neighbors from time to time they are labor contractors.
