Fresno

Part of it was the irresistible attraction of federal dollars.

And in 2009, when the Obama administration took over the White House, they said, hey, California, we want you to do something about all the asthma that we see in Fresno.

So we want you to start that train in the Central Valley.

Instead of, I don't know, taking the initial money and electrifying San Francisco to San Jose, a train that people would actually use all the time, and then just kind of breaching out from there.

Can you believe how quickly this year is going? We're going to be doing a live election special from noon to three.

Excuse me.

We're doing our live show from noon to three and then a live election special 7 to 9 p.m. on 790K ABC, 810K SFO and KMJ in Fresno.

And we'll also be doing it live from 7 to 10 p.m. at JohnnyDon'tLike.com, which is where we're broadcasting on video right now.

We've been seeing some nice, beautiful skies and nice temperatures as well.

A little chilly into those morning hours, but we're in those upper 60s already for you in Fresno.

67 degrees, 63 for you in Hanford.

Temperatures in the North Valley nice and cool in those low 60s.

We should peak around 77 degrees for most of us across the valley.

This evening, we expect to see some nice cool temperatures as we look ahead, dipping down into the 50s by 11 o'clock, but we'll have that three-day forecast coming up in just a bit.

And new on Action News, an investigation is underway after a deadly crash along Highway 180 in central Fresno.

The CHP says it happened just after 7 this morning on the 180 near Cedar Avenue.

The local paper ran a story over the weekend.

The new vendor area in Fresno's Tower District was a ghost town Friday night.

Well, yeah.

I mean, why are they on Olive where they are? Because that's where people are.

Around the corner on Fulton, another business's window is now boarded up.

The gunfire came on the first weekend of the city's new safety plan for the Tower District.

Ahead of the weekend, Fresno Police Deputy Chief Joe Alvarez told Action News what he wanted to see.

I'm hoping for an incredibly quiet weekend where people just get to enjoy the businesses with nothing else happening.

I don't care if it's San Diego.

I don't care if it's Fresno.

We'll do the deal no matter what.

10,000 bucks a month in marketing to get seller leads.

All I care about is money and business and lowering our risk as much as possible to win that gamble, right? If I'm going to a casino and I get the opportunity to have a 1% chance I lose money, 99% chance I make money, I don't care if it's downtown Manhattan.

I don't care if it's San Diego.

I don't care if it's Fresno.

We'll do the deal no matter what.

There's no Red Lobsters either.

But I found one in Fresno.

Okay.

Okay.

Similar demo to the greater Boston area.

Sure.

I found one in Fresno.

The cheapest meal that they have there is, and this is for pickup, like not delivery or anything, is $16.29. That is not cheap.

Hey, I just – you know what? I haven't listened to you guys in a long time.

I live a lot further south than Fresno, but I did manage to find you guys again this morning.

And I just think the system's so goofed up and crazy – You know, with everything that's going on, if you remember the real ID fiasco a few years back, they would not accept my retired military ID as a federal document.

But yet you can go and just pull things out of midair and crazy things and get all kinds of money and everything else for it.

And there's the winningest pitcher in the Major League this year, 24-year-old Tom Seaver.

who won 25 and lost 7, lives in Manhattan Beach, California, born in Fresno.

A

handsome, articulate,

The ball is to strike.

Lives in Fresno.

Reggie Jackson.

Look at Sabre once again in slow motion.
