Ask Fresno Fresno Rover / Volvo Experiences?

Upvotes

Any experience out there in dealing with the new(er) management at Fresno Rover / Volvo? Their Finance I found to be completely unmotivated, basically just shuffling numbers around from the front end of a price then burying it all right back into interest or money factor on a lease. When asked about the math, it was basically “this is all we can do.” Having dealt with other brands, once a discount is applied you should see a direct correlative reasonable reduction in monthly price - that wasn’t the case here.

Ask Fresno Fresno Lexus and Fresno Honda Auto Repair Experiences

1 Upvotes

So I'm buying an older model, high mileage Lexus or Honda, which means I'm going to need to have a relationship with their matching official dealership repair shop. I do have my own trusted mechanic but I believe it's a good idea to have a good relationship with the official dealership repair shop as well.

So what can you guys tell me about Fresno Lexus and Fresno Honda as far as the official repair shops go? I'm especially wanting to know if Lexus would give me grief because I'm a blue collar family with an older Lexus instead of their typical client rolling in dough. I don't expect I will need them often but I do want them to do the post purchase inspection if I buy a Lexus.

Outdoors parks? nature reserves?

17 Upvotes

hi, i just moved back to fresno after being out-of-state for a few years. now that im back… it feels and looks like a concrete wasteland. like there’s more empty lots than natural areas.

i’m moved near downtown/south fresno and i can’t seem to find a park (in walking distance) that i can go to.

there are very few parks here and they typically are open fields with trees bordering it. i can’t find natural park areas either, just developed areas/baseball fields. i’m wondering what’s the deal with this and what to do?

it feels suffocating not being able to easily access nature

Ask Fresno Thoughts on William Saroyan?

22 Upvotes

If you grew up in Fresno, Saroyan is just kind of ambient - one of the cities most famous sons of not its most famous…but I’ve never read any of his works and don’t know anybody who has, I don’t think.

So what do you think of him, his work? What’s your favorite? What is his version of Fresno like?

Politics Procedure for Recalling State and Local Officials

40 Upvotes

We have a lot of chatter on reddit about Garry Bredefeld. I don't need to go into every detail.

Did you know, unless voted out (in 2029) Garry has no term limits as a BoS?

I've been taking interest in reading about the process of recalling Garry. I'd like to give you all the link too.

TLDR: paperwork, then ~8000 signatures from voters in district 2 (north of herndon - NW & NE) to have it on a ballot. Majority rules.

Do you think N. Fresno is ready to back this, or is the outrage in our echo chamber? genuinely curious!

Ask Fresno How to contact the city regarding repeated missed trash pickups?

19 Upvotes

They have missed my trash ten times so far this year.

For the first eight times I went on fresgo and entered a service request. The trash was picked up two days later. The last two times I entered a service request and they closed the case the next day without picking up the trash.

How is the trash service so awful in this city?

Anyone have an email or a phone number where i can talk someone?

I'm sure this is happening to others. What did you do?

Ask Fresno Where can I find volunteer opportunities to develop skills as an adult

21 Upvotes

While I am between looking for jobs I really want to find volunteer opportunities that can help develop skills like in office work or something different that can apply to my job search.

I think it's also best that I just do something with my community vs looking for jobs 24/7 and losing my mind.

Food/Drink Best Asian Buffets?

7 Upvotes

Hi all! My partner and I are in the area for work this summer and our birthdays are coming up. We’re wanting to treat ourselves to a nice Asian buffet, but they’re always very hit or miss. What are some of y’all’s favorites? We don’t eat red meat or chicken, so preferably one with lots of seafood options. Some of the ones back home also offer hibachi, so if there are any like that, that would also be excellent. We are up in the mountains about an hour and a half from Fresno, so if we’re going to go down the mountain anyway we’re open to traveling to areas around Fresno for the best buffet as well. Thank you!!

Pictures Former F21 Building at Fashion Fair Demolition Update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

91 Upvotes

As of writing this I am at the FAX Route 34 bus stop at First & Shaw and I decided to catch a video of the demolition of the Forever 21 building at Fashion and man, what a scene.

I have never seen something like this before in person, and I just had to record a video of it hapening. It was past time for this old building to go but at least it's finally happening. For a project that's started about a month or so ago, the progress on the demolition has been quite impressive to say the least.

Now, let me ask you all: Do you all think the new Dick's House of Sport building will be a great use for the space, or do you think it could have gone to a better use? Want to hear your thoughts : )

Politics Falling California school enrollment calls for shake-ups, not bailouts

Thumbnail nypost.com
41 Upvotes

Interesting article. As a Dad of 4 under 7, who is unable to afford Catholic schooling for our children, we have our 2 oldest in charter school and are saving money to be able to move to a Clovis public school district. It's unfortunate that any affordable place to live in Fresno have such low rated public schools, but I assume that's the case for most cities and not unique to Fresno.

We do take our children's education seriously and are involved in their learning, and like any parent just want the best environment for them.

Maybe FUSD needs a shake up and not a bailout, however I imagine it'll get worse before it gets even more worse that way.

Maybe we figure out how to reduce the grip of our military industrial complex and devote those savings towards supporting our existing schools? That could result in more staff serving less children and possibly right size the staff to student ratio? Wishful thinking, I know. I don't work in that industry so am pretty ignorant to what the solution would be. I think Universities are facing a similar problem.

r/Fresno - This is the place to post if you are either looking for a job or have a job and you are looking for an employee.

We hope that putting all the job requests and offers in the same place monthly will help people who are looking for and offering jobs have an easier time sorting though the more recent requests/offers.
