KELLEY... have a house here in Turlock that I will sell ya! be ready for bad air... we are leaving this state as soon as possible... house sells.. we be gone... I would choose Modesto over Fresno... no wait... TURLOCK is best...

If you have to live in the San Joaquin Valley - unbearably hot summers and thick fog in winters, - I'd have to choose Medesto. Fresno is known as the Raisin Capital of the World. but Medesto is the setting for "American Graffiti." I think. History always wins over agriculture. I hope I'm being helpful.

Actually, Selma is raisin capital of the world. Gee I lived in Fresno for 34 years, and I can't think of their slogan. Is there one?

[FresnoFacts]

Most of the slogans heard around Fresno the last few years have been variations of "The New California" theme.

That reflects that much of California's future will center around the Central Valley.

why not escalon or oakdale? graet small communities right off the highway 120

modesto is going downhill fast and fresno is the northern LA...

There is so much negative stuff about each city, some positives would be good. We're coming from Michigan, and we understand our whole lifestyle will be different. Thanks everyone!!!

It has to be Fresno hands down because of what's surrounds the Big City of Fresno......Yosemite National Park 50 Miles to the Northeast.....
The (2) second tallest Mountain in the United States Of America 50 Miles to the east.....Some of the tallest trees on Earth 50 Miles to the Southeast of Fresno California. Better minor league sports teams than Modesto....Better shopping Malls..Better Restaurants than Modesto California which is a small city unlike Fresno. Everything is better in Fresno except the really poor quality of AIR...try living in the Foothills for better air quality.....
