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.
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. 😢
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
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 anymore, they used to have a bunch of stores and even street performers and street vendors. It reminds me of Sunday afternoons with my family going out to eat and walking down the mall. Fun times.
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.
@@sacramentokingswillrise7525 It's only the 5th largest city because of the surrounding urban sprawl that's been going on for the past 40+ years or so. There's alot of development in those areas compared to downtown fresno itself, which is pretty much a ghost town
Whenever I go through downtown I try to picture it like this, beautiful buildings and houses full of life, sad what time does.
Fresno My home town and birth place. I love Fresno
A great view into what Fresno looked like in 1960s.

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

Everything was Fine until Bums, Crimes and Drugs ruined Downtown.
It’s gotten worse now
What have you done to make it better? Your bum and only like to complain

Well said Laird! I totally agree.
Thank you for sharing!!
It's 2023 I wish it was still like this nothing but crazy homeless and beggers it's like a mini San Francisco
Those days are gone and not coming back sad but true
My favorite is the creeper at 7:59
Also like how the cameraman zooms on the ladies butts. Good edit
It use to be so pretty but now it's lost its true beauty

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
@GoldenState yeah and it still sucks
So funny you said that I was thinking the same thing as you
Born& raised Fresno CA..
Sacramento is quite similar to this design...really.
Whats the name of you r"Fulton Mall" in Sac? Is it the K street Mall? How is it doing?
And now down town is all streets I never been back
Unfortunately the homeless is the reason people stopped going to the Fulton Mall.
Also There's really nothing to do at Fulton Mall, The only thing to do is Go to Chukchansi Park or Selland Arena.

The Only Good Thing about Fulton Mall and Downtown Fresno is Chukchansi Park and the Selland Arena.
Yet they had to open it up to traffic again. Lol
Fresno these days is just horrible with crimes
Fresno is a small city now
Why do you mean It's a Small City? It's the 5th Largest City in California.
How is it small we have 500 000 people in Fresno.
