With all this crazy ass annoying weather lately, like the rain and wind and tornado warnings, it got us wondering: What if a tornado touched down within the boundaries of Fresno? You know, like it did some years ago when one hit the airport. (That's right kids, a tornado once jacked up the roof of Fresno's airport.)
And, what if we were Mother Nature or God or Kopi and we could control the weather? More specifically, what if we could control where a tornado would hit? What Fresno building would we have it level, to be rebuilt in a new and better way?
- Would it be City Hall? A lot of people hate that building. We're kinda okay with it but maybe we'd do it for Fresnans everywhere.
- The old Fresno Hotel? Sure it's too historic and old and awesome, but then again, maybe nothing will ever get done there.
- The Save Mart Center. Just redo it with bigger seats and isles and have it look less like a warehouse.
Our final choice: The Dollar Store in the Tower District. Fuck that place. Really? A cheap-ass Dollar Store in the heart of our major culture district? Screw you guys for letting that happen. We are having our tornado demolish that shit and we're building storefronts like the ones already along Olive and we'll put the parking in the back.
But who cares what this blog would do, what Fresno structure would you have a tornado level? (We're looking at you, Archop Nerds.)
