I see that the PG&E building didn't have its Tower up yet when this was filmed. I remember watching the tower being installed when I was a little kid, I don't remember what year that was.

It's so nostalgic 😊 all though i wasn't born yet during this time. Born 1984. Migrated to the USA in 1987. Reside in Oroville, CA. Moved to fresno ca in 1993. I have lived all my life in fresno since 93. I still remember as a teenager in the late 90s , me and my friends would go to downtown fulton Mall to enjoy the outdoor and indoor shopping stores. Fullton died dramatically in the 2000s. I never would have thought i would ever move out of fresno seriously. Jan 2023, I finally packed up and left fresno to Sacramento. It was the hardest decision I've ever made. It's been a year and a half already, but i visit every damn weekend. No lies, either. I'm really thinking of moving back already!!😊 fresno will always be home.

I wasn’t around that time, but I could imagine the liveliness. 96-24’ born and raised. Still here to this day.

A great view into what Fresno looked like in 1960s.

It's 2023 I wish it was still like this nothing but crazy homeless and beggers it's like a mini San Francisco

And now down town is all streets I never been back

most corrupt city in CA?

Thank you for sharing!!

I remember the Fulton mall when it was opened, our mom would shop and my brother and I would play on the Mall, we went back to the car when we got tired, sure can't do that in this day and age.

Fresno My home town and birth place. I love Fresno

Grew up on the farms to the SW of Fresno in the 60's and 70's. Haven't been back since 78. Have nice memories from back then

Those days are gone and not coming back sad but true

Fresno these days is just horrible with crimes

Whenever I go through downtown I try to picture it like this, beautiful buildings and houses full of life, sad what time does.

The powers that be built this travesty and drove business out of the center as shown here and further to the north. 60% of the business did not survive the move. As of 2021 we are back to driving on the badly failed mall. The malls fountains had become bathing spots and toilets for the homeless. None of the business shown here made the move and slowly died. This video is a load of crap.

Thank you so much so much great information. I wish we were back to those days.

Wow... who would’ve known this was how it was back then. It’s complete shit now. Empty, soulless, and just sad.

Fresno means "ash tree" in spanish translation. Fulton mall is now back to street traffic, during the 1990's it failed an business was losing funds. twitter.com/Wahtomas

It use to be so pretty but now it's lost its true beauty

Shouldn’t have never done that

Laughs in homelessness and meth

Fresno! The Shithole capital of the world, complete with crooks thugs, tweekers, cheats, cowards and yes corruption!

Yet they had to open it up to traffic again. Lol

Fresno is a small city now

Wow... it was better before... so sad to see how it looks now. If the people before would see how it looks now they would be very disappointed

There was a homeless dude bathing in one of those square water fountains the other day... And at the round sitting areas, it smelled like piss. Don't sit there.. I still have memories of the early to late 90s of this place... Around the holidays too...It's a great concept to revitalize.. but the reality is that Parasites love to destroy nice places, and I'm not talking about the homeless....

Born& raised Fresno CA..

I miss Missouri so much!

1968. When people respected themselves and the property. 2018. No self respect and no respect for others or thier property. Too many homeless people asking for money. If there was soft lights, they would be stole. Downtown Fresno lost its beauty. 😢

So sad to see the Fulton Mall as it is 2018. Everything in disrepair. Gone are the wonderful stores, clean sidewalks, and excitement. Now days are buildings falling down, and boarded up. The very few stores you find open are filled with merchandise you see in Mexico and flea markets. The once cheerful music has been replaced with Hispanic music. The side walks are now decayed with cracks in the cement. Outdoor vendors every where. Bums begging for money and drunks and druggies lying in the door ways of dilapidated buildings. A few families let their small children play in the few water fountains. Fresno politicians and builders have played a major role in the destruction of this once beautiful and thriving Mall. Most people are afraid to visit this area of Fresno since it has little police patrolling it. All of the decent stores and businesses headed North a long time ago. The Fresno Mall will never be revitalized as promised 40 plus years ago. Fresno's Mayor's and elite would never work, shop, or live in an area like this. This downtown area looks like a 3rd world country.

Unfortunately the homeless is the reason people stopped going to the Fulton Mall.

My favorite is the creeper at 7:59

oh Fresno ....my childhood years , 84 to 95

nothing but bums now ..don't go there at night either lol

the real problem is not that this idea is dated but that 1) no one wants to pay to maintain this lovely public space and 2) that everyone who counts (i.e. developers and their cronies in city hall) just love the money behind and generated by privatized urban sprawl

Sacramento is quite similar to this design...really.
