A Cinco de Mayo celebration was held this past weekend at the Fulton Mall in Fresno.  This comes as the City of Fresno is going ahead with plans to rip up the art-filled pedestrian mall. According to an article in the Fresno Bee, "A general contractor to oversee the $20 million project should be selected by late summer. The first chunks of mall concrete could be flying by the fall." See the City's anti-environmental and backwards thinking plan here.Read more here: http://www.fresnobee.com/2015/04/25/4494432_city-hall-officials-full-speed.html?rh=1#storylink=cpy It's bittersweet to see so many people enjoying the mall. Cars could be taking over soon.
