Blogger on Blogger Crime: Help Santa Figure Out What to Get Fresno
I'm stealing a post idea from Famous Whitewater, over at Fresno Famous. He is asking Fresnans again "What do you want Santa to leave under Fresno's tree?" He started things off by asking some interesting Fresnans what they want Santa to leave. Some of my favorites from the list so far are:
- Please bring to Fresno a dedicated mid-sized live music venue, so we can host those “next-level” bands who are too “big” for clubs and too “small” for arenas.
- No sprawl, just high-density infill housing.
- One more tree in every yard.
- A certified farmers’ market downtown.
- Another Indiana Jones movie that does not kill the entire series.
- A big sign at Riverpark that says “We moved to the Fulton Mall.”
- Fresno to receive a magic potion that once ingested would offer ALL the residents of Fresno an open mind to downtown living.
- A public access television channel, or channels.
There are plenty more. Go on over and add some yourself. Below is mine from last year. The list hasn't changed because I was a dick and Santa didn't bring me/Fresno any of these things:
- Give Fresnans an addictive drug that will create the feeling of being high every time they buy from a local business.
- A Bulldog tickets drop off box for Fresno State season tickets holders. Therefore, they can give their tickets to someone who would actually USE them.
- A graffiti clean-up kit.
- Give Fresnans gumption, enough too get them off their couch on a Friday night and go see a local band.
- A giant wad of cash to the most creative and focused Fresnan, so that he/she can open the ultimate business on the Fulton Mall that will spark a true and lasting resurgence.
