| June 2005: Life in and around Fresno |
| Three communication professors and a journalist: Kevin Ayotte, Donald, Shane and Kim Church enjoy the terrace at the 3Brush Gallery. |
| Views of Merced: This small city is booming, thanks to the new University of California campus opening in the fall. Below, Shane previews the new library. |
| A double bill at Playhouse Merced includes Alex Podulke as dancer "Rupert Suave" (that's his business card, above) and Heidi Arneson as a woman recalling her grade-school years. |
| Diana Marcum anticipates the grilled-cheese sandwich she ordered at JHo's in the Tower. |
| The members of White Flag Waving, including Adam Perry, above right, perform at Club Fred. Let's just say we aren't talking classical chamber music. |
| After the Club Fred concert, Elena explores the Tower District. But where's the Daily Planet? (It closed, alas.) |
| Scenes from Yoshi Now, a very cool vintage store recently opened downtown: a frighteningly lipsticked mannequin, tropical shirts, a weird pink creature, Shane shopping for bargains. |
