Masking Fresno, Pismo's and Nostalgic Fresnans

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! DOWNLOAD: FlowingWithJuly2020.mp3 Thanks for listening!

I'll Just Have Mine To-Go, Please

 Flowing with another month of Fresno in lockdown mode. We'd love to get away from this and get back to talking about Downtown parking and bike lanes - we miss talking about parking Downtown - but we can't. So here we are. Do all Fresno businesses have the right to open? Is there a smart way to do it and is it worth it? Is the Mayor doing the right thing? Are we all making the right choices?  Who the heck knows, but we try to talk about it at least. Also, don't sleep on Band Of The Episode: Aire Espacial.
