Somewhere, Close To Nowhere Else by Brian Diener
There’s so much variety as you move throughout the city. From the heart of Downtown, it can feel like a big city. Yet at the same time, you’re never too far from being in the middle of nowhere. In itself, these easily attainable changes of pace are what set Fresno apart from other cities. Not just geographically, but also in terms of the city’s self image. All the while, there’s a high likelihood of seeing people you know across town!
