Just because it's a grid, doesn't make it well planned. Most American cities are a soulless sea of cardboard boxes surrounding a clump of tower, connected via highways.

I've never been to Fresno, but I like how their downtown is similar to Denver's in terms of being cocked 45 degrees from the rest of the city. It's actually confusing when giving directions to visitors since locals understand that "North" when downtown is actually Northeast and visitors don't.

Oh no I was correcting the end of my own sentence. Originally I thought Philly was non-grid, but I remembered it was actually the first US city to implement a grid design on a large scale.

When the city was founded, they aligned the roads along the river. Then the city got big and switched to cardinal directions. I have no idea why Fresno went with the same idea, but it probably has similar roots that made sense to pioneers.

Like buildings have fucking tin-roofs, flowers by the roadside where dindus had obviously been shot, literally one (1) business open in the town centre. Only people I saw on the streets was some cracked out dindus and mexican cowboy looking fuckers. 2/10 do not recommend.

>>61155698
I'm literally not. The first bus driver (black) looked at us like we were mad when we asked for tickets to downtown. Within minutes I quietly got my gf to remove & put her expensive looking handbag/glasses and shit in my backpack.

"Downtown" is a very different thing in US than Europe generally, but yeah..

There was obviously a grassroots movement to "gentrify" the place, was only there for a couple of hours but even saw a group of investors being toured and shown the "success" of the hipster bar we waited in.. People obviously cared about the place and were friendly, pretty much everybody we encountered.. Altho some did act/look bemused like the bus driver.

But still 2/10 do not recommend.
