We came through that way a couple of weeks ago (I-5) on our way back from So Cal. Anyway, not someplace I'd normally stop, but we needed to fuel up. So we stopped. Anyway, I thought it was extremely interesting that there were signs on all the pumps that said if you drove off with the gas hose still attached that you would pay the cost of getting fixed. I can't remember the amount, but it was like $110 for something and another amount for something else. It must be something that happens quite often, and I almost asked the cashier, but he was obviously just taking money and not offering conversation. |
Re: Fresno
Hi
I left london and went to Fresno about eight years ago. I lived in Clovis on the outskirts of fresno for four years and worked as a professor at Fresno state. I enjoyed my time at the university and my children attended clovis west which was a very good school. I know there is a lot of negative talk about the central valley but clovis is a good area to live and yosemine park is about an hour away its fantastic and you have San francisco about 3 hours away. Yes it has no culture etc and there are problems with the air and pollution coming from the farms in the area - this was one of the reasons i left. It is very hot during the summer sometimes reaching 110 degrees but then so is arizona and other parts of the us. The winters are lovely and the valley is surrounded by the mountains. No worries just enjoy your time there and i suggest you look at clovis west and the surrounding areas for your children's school. good luck julia t and |
Re: Fresno
Hi cloughie74,
I moved to Fresno from London 3 years ago after getting married to my husband who is a US citizen. I am British and well... what to say about Fresno. Fresno is a farming area, cheap housing, no traffic, clean, lots of outdoor activities, quiet place to raise a family. You said your husband has a job lined up here so you will like it here. Jobs are very scarce here. My family come and visit from London all the time and they do not need a visa as they normally visit for 2-3 weeks at a time. A stay more than 3 months requires a visa. Enjoy the Cali sun if nothing else in Fresno. ;) |

Bakersfield is marginally worse than Fresno imo, but it's a close run thing.
