Fresno California in the Central Valley gets a bad wrap. Sure it doesn’t come compare to Southern California or the Bay Area, but it has some good qualities. And it’s my home town!
Farmers Markets
The Central Valley is an agriculture epicenter. You cannot beat the farmers markets Fresno offers.
Madera Wine Trail
No need to travel to get to wineries, they’re right around the corner.
Tower District
The Tower District is an area of theater, breweries, tattoo parlors and vintage stores.
Old Town Clovis
Old Town maintains a western atmosphere with restaurants, bars, and a great place to go if you like shopping for antiques.
Lakes & Mountains
And if you like outdoor recreation and beauty, it’s less than an hour away.
Yosemite National Park
Yosemite is an easy day trip!
Fresno is not a vacation destination by any means. However, if you find yourself in the area there’s no need for dread. It’s not as bad as you think.
