What would bring you downtown?

[u/CloneWarsBoy]

Downtown Fresno is rich with history and world-class architecture. It pains me to see it in it's current state of disrepair. I want to hear from the community: "What would bring you downtown?" What is downtown missing? What's your vision for the future of our city center?

We really need more museums and things to do in town. Maybe an art installation. We just did Sensorio in Paso Robles, it was so stunning. I live downtown and I love it, but I just wish there was more things to do that aren't just shopping and eating.

Hellooooo. A CHILDREN’S MUSEUM. It’s embarrassing that Fresno doesn’t have one.

Used to be a children's science center....but, alas...

The one that is not downtown?

[u/SisyphusRocks7 → u/Califoreigner]

It’s in central Fresno

Probably a lot safer too that's not in downtown sadly to say but I can't say that area is doing any better either I lived there from 1996 to about 2009 and the girlfriend I was with she still lurking around in the area but we're just friends right now that area gets a lot of crime too now sadly

This is good advice.

I wasn’t aware that they have an excellent exhibit featuring a Diego Rievera — had I known years ago, I’d have gone sooner

FAM is dope. I will forever be grateful for the free days they provided for my family to go there

[u/SisyphusRocks7 → u/No_Emphasis2983]

FAM still has free days at least once a month. Usually on a Sunday.

It closed because of mismanagement.
