Hospitalists

Fresno - filled with endless, one-of-a-kind adventures The Location – Fresno, CA The Central Valley's largest city makes for a surprisingly lively place to live. Seven stadiums and a pair of arenas satisfy sporty types, and an annual Woodward Shakespeare Festival in lush Woodward Park reveals Fresno's cultural bent. But make no mistake: Agriculture is king in this centerpiece city of the San Joaquin Valley, California's most prolific growing region. In early spring, get a closer look by driving or biking along the 62-mile Blossom Trail, with the route lined with fruit and nut trees in full bloom. In summer, the route morphs into the Fresno County Fruit Trail, and fruit stands overflow with ripe seasonal produce. Back in town, explore a subterranean living space at Forestier Underground Gardens, hand-dug by an Italian immigrant who saw that going underground was a great way to keep cool and comfortable during the Central Valley's hot summers. Kids love Chaffee Zoo, especially the frolicking pinnipeds in Sea Lion Cove. Find quality handmade gifts in Fresno's Mural District, a hotbed of artists' studios and gallery spaces; monthly Art Hops are a great way to explore. After dark, restaurants and clubs light up the neon-bright Tower District.
