I have been reading the Community Alliance since it first came out in 1996. It provides news on…read moretopics not covered in the Fresno Bee or GV wire with a viewpoint that does not accept hypocrisy. It addresses the important issues of the day such as the climate crisis, racism, voting rights, homelessness, elections, gun violence, immigration and LGBTQ+ discrimination. The Community Alliance presents a progressive and honest perspective without bending to corporate greed or the right-wing, Christian nationalist, white supremacy philosophy found in some areas of Fresno politics.

I have no doubts about the integrity of the Fresno Community Alliance, and their reporting. I know…read moretheir editor well (he is now a board member) and the F.C.A. is a paper both respected and feared by Fresno's errant and often arrogant establishment. I don't put an ounce of weight in whatever Eric H. says. I would bet my bottom dollar he never contacted the L.C.A. with a concern about Any Article he has read. The Community Alliance paper is about as far from the "main stream" (sic) media as one could possibly be. I question not only the legitimacy of Eric H.'s complaint, but also strongly wonder why he has a pixelated picture. I've been in Fresno for 51 years, there's no reason to hide who you are IMHO.

After going to Powells in Portland, I've been wanting to do a local bookstore tour of Fresno so I…read morestopped by Hart's Haven. Hart's Haven is no Powells, you won't have to browse for hours. It's very small (about 500 sqft, 2 rooms of books) with a jazzercise studio in the back. They have nice antique settees in both rooms. $2 for paperback and $4 for hardcover. The guy in the front was very kind. Since they have a jazzercise studio in the back, I think they should do speakeasy events there for book lovers since they have a nice enclosed parking- Bridgeton High Tea..., twilight dinners...A You marathon... Hunger Games costume party.... crafting with books.. I've never read Twilight, but since I was just in Oregon, I have to read or watch the twilight series now, but they did not have the book. They take donations so if anyone wants to donate twilight, lemme know! I had exactly $6 cash so I got myself a C.I.A. cookbook (Culinary Institute of America) because I collect cookbooks. Anthony Bourdain, Roy Choi (I ate at his restaurant, Best Friend in Las Vegas) & Grant Achatz (I dream of one day eating at his Michelin Starred restaurant, Alinea in Chicago) graduated from C.I.A. I also got a brand new paperback from Target- Love, Naturally. I am a little behind on my reading because life has taken me on a hell of a ride this year.

The prices were very…read morefair ($2 for paperback, $4 for hardcover unless otherwise marked), and there is a decent range of genres (mystery, historical, sci-fi, etc.), though you shouldn't expect to find a specific book you had in mind. If you're feeling adventurous or want to try something new, they also have 'mystery books'! Those were $10 and come with goodies like pens, bookmarks and candy Definitely coming back!

Great punk selection. Stopped in a few months ago from Sacramento. Highly recommended.read more

Was in town visiting family and we were looking to go to a record store and they recommend this…read morespot! They had a pretty decent selection considering the size of the place and they sell cassette tapes! I didnt pick up any records myself but I did help my sibling find a '12 for $15 bucks! Thank you!!

What an excellent record store! Helpful staff, some used record players, great inventory. Some…read moretapes too. 3 for 10 bucks.

What a really nice store. Very large, and well stocked with prices that were quite reasonable…read more Friendly person at the front, maybe the owner? They also had a stage so it must play host to some live music or deejays occasionally My kid was able to sit comfortably in a chair near the front while I made my mad dash thru as much as I could, which is great because a lot of record stores are standing room only and tight. In a little section of what appears to be a historic district. I guess it's the tower district!
