Thanks for the info Mav. I'm not jaded or anything even though I'm used to NYC. Its a huge relief just to know that there are things to do in Fresno, since I may be moving there for work.
Seems like housing is real cheap (compared to NYC anyway). Are there any old gothic style houses? When I look at rentals and houses online I mostly see new prefab non-spooky stuff.
thanks
