We have been waiting a couple weeks but now is our time to talk about the Fulton Street party. Lucky for us we have Roque Rodrigez and Bryan Harley from Swede Fest, to help us. What is the future of Fulton and what the hell happened during the opening?!
There will also be a big discussion about the Tower District, where it's headed, what it's doing now. Getting local coffee is easier than ever. Plus, filmmaking in Fresno, Fresno Film Festival and will Fresno ever get a multiplex Downtown, all this and more Fresno.
Band Of The Episode: The Miss Alans.

We've been at this a while. Talking about the Fulton Mall on Flowing With Famous. Like, a decade or something. This is the last talk about the Fulton Mall. It is Fulton Street forevermore and we are going to get our last takes in.
Speaking of Fulton, the most prominent business on Fulton, Tokyo Garden, is about to go through a major change and this needs to be addressed.
We are also going to wedge in more Fresno talk. There too many taco events in Fresno, skaters on Fulton, we talk with the Spanspek boys one last time, why the heck is Sheriff Joe in town, local Fresno landlords charging too much, and much more Fresnoing.
Band Of The Episode, Sagey.

Fresno! Let's keep calm. The heat will end. The fires will be put out. The sky will soon be less orange.
While we wait for that, let's talk about the firestorm that followed a Clovis girl moving to a loft in Downtown Fresno. Followed by a Fresno City Council acting like mom is not in the room, during meetings. We also cover some Fresno places we miss, Fresno's homeless "problem", wonder if we should care that Granville Homes is running a news website, play some new stuff from Patrick Contreras and a lot more Fresnooooo!

We said we wanted to figure it out. Figure out how to make Fresno cool. We will work on this today and maybe you can help. Let's explore the options Fresno has to make itself "cool" and move on.
We will also talk about: Fresno's new bridge, the opening date for Fulton Street, how bad some of our city leaders make Fresno look and fighting for control of Fresno's soul.
Our Band Of The Episode is Haunt.

It's Fresno. It's June. Let's get to talking.
Josh explains why the Fresno Bee laid-off some important people last month and how he and the Fresno Bee competes in today's click-bait world. Also look out for a good Fresno music discussion, what is this viral thing that goes along with Crackle Barrel and if it's a good thing that it is coming to Fresno. The Highway 99 corridor and how people from Los Angeles perceive Fresno. Is it bad that Amazon and Ulta are coming to Fresno? Plus, much more Fresno talking and plugging.

Hello and welcome back to our little Fresno podcast, Flowing With Famous!
Our Fresno culture for February 2017 includes an evaluation of how Mayor Lee Brand has done so far, we check in with Fulton Mall Street to see how it's going, talk about Fresno's beer scene and a podcast we were on (and forgot to mention Mikey being on Spanspek).
We take music break with Band Of The Episode, John Clifton Blues Band. Talk about all the music festivals coming to Fresno and remind ourselves that Clovis Unified is still, in some ways, living in the 1930s.
Thanks for listening!
