Think Fresno’s boring? Dale Mehl says I don’t think so, everyone. In this episode, Dale takes us back to when downtown Fresno was alive — neon lights, music, and packed department stores. From the glory days of Gottschalks, Woolworths, and JC Penney to the fall of the Fulton Mall, Aaron & Dale unpack how Fresno got its bad rap… and why it still deserves love.

They also swap waffle house stories, read listener feedback, and get into a heated debate over The Beach Boys’ “Pet Sounds.”

If you love Fresno history, local nostalgia, or just want a good laugh, this one’s for you.
