Does Pismo's David Fansler have a point?
Should kids be back in school?
Can Fresno have patios all over the dang place?
Does the Mural District finally have a market?

Fireworks, Fairs and Fresno [Flowing With Famous July 2020]

Hope you made it through the battlefield that was Fourth of July in Fresno. It was pretty crazy. But crazy enough to warrant fireworks being banned in the future?
We are all still battling with living life in Fresno with COVID-19, is everything as bad as it seems? Probably.
Plus, the Fresno Fair is planning to go on in October. Should they be? When are we going to be able to do things again?
We'll take on this and more in this month's Flowing With Famous!
