I don't want to be the next blogger waxing rhapsodic about how lame or awesome Fresno really is because there's a lot of that that going on right now. But thanks to a recent survey ranking my hometown as one of the worst for business, and a recent piece in USA Today (written by former Business Journal editor Valerie Gibbons), Fresnans are once again gathering pitchforks and torches to either slam Fresno or the rest of the country.

When I first announced my unofficial Fresno burger hunt, I expected the recommendations to come flying off the grill. I received seven suggestions from three people. Not seven each, seven total. I still plan on trying every place on the list, but now I’ve expanded my search to include that other all-important cultural food: Beer.

The past few posts have been mired in the trenches of technology. But today, I’d like to blog on another, yet equally important topic: Hamburgers. There’s no denying the popularity of the America’s favorite sandwich, and finding a place that serves burgers isn’t difficult. The problem lies in finding one that serves a world-class, unforgettable burger.

Fresno's old timers still remember Harpain's Dairy in central Fresno for its yummy ice cream. And that might be the best way to remember the land where the beleagured Granite Park development now sits because there is every indication the place is cursed.

Emotions are boiling in the Central Valley’s farm community. Growers are breaking the confines of their white pickup trucks and tractors to protest a regulatory and market environment they insist is bleeding their industry to death. Yesterday, about 15 dairy operators protested outside the downtown Modesto office of Congressman Dennis Cardoza. The men wielded signs while their wives spoke with the Democrat’s aide.

Fresno business owner Jim Ganduglia toured as a percussionist for Johnny Mathis for 20 years, but he’s beating a different drum these days to protest state regulations. Ganduglia, owner of Ganduglia Trucking, will tell anyone who will listen the California Air Resources Board rule requiring diesel truck operators to curtail emissions is a pain in the tailpipe.
