The worst air quality in the US. Small, dirty town that everyone thinks is the best place in the world. It's a starter town if you want to say you live in California. Keeping up with the Jones's is the theme. I spent 20 years there and sold my house in Sept 05 to get out. Can you say bubble? Thanks for the coin! People live in 80k houses and drive 50k cars..? The weather is good as long as its not summer. In the summer everything is dead and brown unless you water it. By the way. Water shortage, only water on mon/wed/fri for even addresses and tues/thurs/sat for odd...heh. One ski resort worth mentioning within five hours and its only one mountain with sierra cement. THe mountains are nice but hot and dusty due to lack of rain.Obesety and lack of activities is gross. The smog makes your kids stay in at recess and PE.Durign the summer there is always a fire near or in Fresno and the Valley fills with smoke like a big bath tub. So bad its like fog.The tule fog in the winter didnt bother me like it did some people. I took the moisture any way I could get it. It is welcomed after the desert like summers.Summers there are rolling black outs to save energy because everyone is using their a/c at once. Not to worry, it only happens on the hottest days! heh. On the good, the fruit and vegtables are top notch. The mexican and middle eastern food is top notch. The spring time is good because the smog usually blows out and the sorroundings are still green from the winter. It is only a short drive to somewhere desireable and too expensive. When you go to the coast in the summer and come back its like driving into a hot bath tub full of smoke to remind you where you chose. People who have the guts to move out don't return. Peolpe who stay haven't traveled yet.
