Review of Fresno, California


It's called the armpit of CA for a reason!
Star Rating - 12/26/2008
I grew up in Fresno and got out right after high school. I lived in Boston, San Diego and Phoenix then moved back after I divorced. The city had grown over the 10 years absent but the small minded mentality is right where I left it. As a new member of the single life, I've tried dating here. But, the men seem stuck in Uncle Rico's world, still living life as if they were high school, the big guy on campus. Drinking beer, scoring runs and chicks but in reality they are losing their hair and the only runs scored is on play station...oddly enough they're still scoring chicks. The summers are butal but fall is pretty nice. The crime rate is down from my high school days however, it's still relevant. In closing, Fresno is famous for a few things, Cher and Kevin Federline lived here, Anne Hache was called here by aliens and of course, the abundance of agriculture...and DUI's.
