Review of Fresno, California


america's most underappreciated city
Star Rating - 2/12/2010
i have seen EVERY significant place in the U.S. and Canada, been on every significant road, and seen every important animal exhibit- I travel a LOT, just for fun. Given that, i have lived in fresno since 1983 and find it to be america's most underappreciated city: i am 61 miles from snowboarding, it is one of the best towns in america for bicycling, and has,except for a couple of weeks, one of the top 25 climates in the U.S.(per rated places almanac). there are two rivers in the area where you can kayak,canoe, or white-water raft. I am an hour from yosemite, king's canyon, and sequoia national parks and 2 hours from the coast. there are over 100 ethnic groups in the area providing a wonderfully diverse environment.Don't judge us as you drive by on highway 99- it's a great place to live.
