Arkansas Jim 107095 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 I lived in Fresno from 1963 to 1974. Can remember when the new convention center opened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Didn't work. Half a century plus later... they decided to fix the downtown and modernize it, and ripped out the Fulton Mall three years ago. Never really took off, and it had degenerated into a third-world shopping bazaar where ya didn't go after dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Well, let's see ~ what else newsworthy has happened since you deployed... Oh! Hooters got evicted! Oddly, the real estate people expected to be paid rent. Being replaced by a seafood joint called "Shell Shock." Specializing in raw oysters, crawdads, lobster, crab legs, clams and crabs.
