Spokane is half the size of Fresno, and has even less to do than Fresno, but everyone here LOVES it. Its amazing the difference that having a good city-image can make. I didn't really appreciate what Fresno had to offer until I moved to Spokane, and saw how much I had taken for granted. Spokane has some cool things, but not a whole lot that seems to warrant the amount of devotion and pride that are committed to it. The pride that people have in their city helps them tolerate its flaws and also commit to addressing issues. Another topic: Fresno is the fifth largest city in California. In almost any other state, we'd consider ourselves a big city. In CA though... we feel tiny! We do have big city amenities, and still retain some smaller-town qualities. As a result, people from other states (if they've heard of Fresno), are really surprised to learn that we have over half a million people. We are a very respectable size for a legitimate city, nothing shameful about that. There's nothing uniquely embarrassing or shameful about Fresno. Somehow, we just don't feel like there's much to be proud of. Things I love about Fresno: Quality produce (I can't eat fruit or vegetables in Washington... I'm spoiled for life), so many good restaurants (especially Thai, Lao, Mexican, Chinese. seriously NOTHING COMPARES up here), diversity wherever you go, multilingual society (i crave billboards and media in multiple languages), we have a zoo! (most cities in the Northwest don't...), storyland/playland are also wonderful (and unique), expansive parks (although I would love more parks with gardens and paths, in addition to the baseball diamonds and soccer fields, which are also important for community-building). And lastly, of course, Fresno is so close to the mountains, so many lakes, rivers, the ocean, and more. And we can day-trip to cities that are major vacation destinations for people all over the world. (now the question is how to get those people to visit Fresno too...) I don't have any revolutionary thoughts or solutions, but thought that I'd add a perspective from 1,000 miles north. Love the conversation!

When the local networks start getting behind something to this extent, it always makes me more optimistic that it can be successful. There is a tremendous amount of positive energy beginning to activate in Fresno, and I'm excited to be able to see what will come of it all. Thank you to KSEE 24 for spearheading such a movement.
