FYI - people from Fresno are known as Fresnoids. At least up north that's what we call them.
Fresno is also where high school tennis tournaments are held - so I've had to spend a bit of time in beautiful downtown Fresno.
It's like a poorer version of Calexico or El Centro. :)
Salton City is so beat that it's actually a tourist attraction to people like me who like to visit ghost towns.
BTW, the armpit of California is Brawley. I went through there mid-day and there were two bigass fistfights going on in the main drag through town. No cops - nobody giving a crap - just walking on by like it's a daily occurrence - which maybe it is. I guess "Brawley" is a very appropriate name for that dump. I don't think there was a single gas station open in that town - at midday. It was like a something ~OUTT of a post-nuclear apocalypse - like the movie The Book of Eli.
(Note to Integral - this is my last post until 9PM. I'll look at the Wyoming shit later tonight. Cheers, bro! Have a bowl of gluten-and-deep-fried shrimp ice cream for me, bud.)
BTW, I have a good friend who grew up in Sanger. His dad is the first person to figger ~OUTT how to grow the Japanese vegetable (radish) gobo root in the USA in high quality. He monopolized the gobo root market for California for many years - supplying Japanese restaurants and sushi joints statewide - actually the whole Pacific Coast. He found that you have to grow it in little tubes planted in the ground and cultivate it a certain way which he kept secret for many years. Until some others found other ways to grow it in the USA that produced acceptable quality.
