Fresno, CA Not So Great
-
9/29/2011
I lived in Fresno, CA 26 years of my life and have finally decided to move out of this not so good place. I have experience lots of change in the last 10 years here in Fresno. The climate is great during autume(2 months/12 months). Winter is cold, Spring full of allergies, Summer feels like a microwave. Although Fresno, CA is only 2.5 hours to the nice California beaches and 3 hours to the great Sierra Summit. Fresno, Ca is an empty city full people who seems like the are trap in a quicksand where the longer they stay the harder it is to get out. Lots of people in Fresno are farmers and people who have low education and low income. Don't get me wrong Fresno have doctors, lawyers, Accountants, biochemist, engineer, Farmers, and business men that makes millions a year. I have always wanted to leave Fresno when I was going to college now that I have been out I am taking a trip out of fresno and hoping not to look back. I love my cars and everytime I wash my cars and leave it on the driveway the next morning there is a layer of light dust/durt that has already settle on my car that was only washed 18 hours ago. I think to myself if I am breathing in all these dust for the last 26 years of my life it must not be good. My allergies are also bad in Fresno. The crime(murder, homoside, rape, auto theft, drugs, home invasion, etc.) in Fresno, CA is one of the worst. There are great places to live such as the north side of town(where most of the lawyers, doctors, accountants, business men, etc. live) by Woodward Park. All I have to say is that if you love Fresno, Ca thats great if you plan to move here you have to enjoy some of the bad stuff I said about it. Remember I live here all my life and Im moving and again hoping to never come back. But the choice is in the beholders eye. I see that I have nothing there. But Fresno, CA might be a Gem for you. Good Luck.
