When I was in high school, a friend's mom used to pick us up burgers, chicken fingers and crinkle fries from Triangle Drive-In near Roeding Park on Belmont and 99. I always looked forward to seeing the bags come in the door, and when I was able to drive there myself, I definitely did. As I got older and graduated from Central High School (go Grizzlies!), heading over to Triangle became less … [Read more...]
Wait! What are they asking for that home?
For a lot of reasons today has been pretty darn exciting. We have listed some great new homes, received offers on others, and learned that our plans for our office have nearly been approved by the owner of the building, more on that soon. What was different today than any other day was the volume of calls we received at around 2pm. **** Fast Forward**** It's Monday and all is right … [Read more...]
Here’s Your Chance to Meet Celeb Chef Fabio Viviani!

One of FresYes’s best (yet little known!) kid’s birthday places
Last winter, my son was invited to a friend's birthday party to be held at California Pizza Kitchen, located on Blackstone and Nees in the Villagio Shopping Center. The party was set for 9:30am on a Saturday, and I remember thinking it was a bit early for pizza but, sure - why not? Turns out, it's always a good time for pizza and it's especially a good time for a pizza birthday for kids as they … [Read more...]

This month, we have the honor of celebrating amazing dads - and of course, we want to do so in a way that will give two lucky dads … [Read more...]

Day Trip Destination: Avila Beach, CA
If you ever paid attention to surveys about why people love Fresno, one of the most commonly listed reasons is for its convenient proximity to a multitude of great California places to visit. If you got up early enough, and chose the right day of the year, you could technically snow ski and swim in the ocean on the same day. That's pretty awesome if you ask me. Last time I wrote a post about a fun … [Read more...]
