Beth Cato's Reviews > Fresno Growing Up: A City Comes of Age: 1945-1985

I'm so glad that this book was featured on Scalzi's Big Idea! I'm a born and raised Hanford girl, so for me Fresno was always "the big city." I enjoyed reading this book and seeing how the city transitioned and how many familiar landmarks came to be, but I am really curious as to what my mom will think. This will be part of her Christmas. She lived all around the valley as she grew up, including several places in and around Fresno, so the pictures and stories will really resonate with her. I imagine this will be a fun book for her to pull out for friends and family. Hooray for well-done local history books!
