You can think of Fresno as a Los Angles or San Francisco on a miniature scale. That means that we get a larger share of visitor traffic and a more eclectic mix of people residing in our city compared to other sub-million population centers. You see, in Fresno, even though we are a small city, we are a regional capital. With just over half a million in population, you’d think that opportunities would be slim to find casual encounters in Fresno. While it may not approach the casual encounter vibe that people will find in San Francisco, Los Angeles or San Diego, Fresno holds its own. This is why it should not be a surprise that Fresno and its surrounding areas have a healthy casual encounter lifestyle for those who seek it. It can truthfully be said that Fresno defines the San Joaquin Valley - and by extension the whole of Central California. Fresno is not just a small city trying to find its place within a larger and internationally known state. For those of us who live there, however, we know that it is much more. Fresno, the capital of the Central Valley in California - for some people, it may seem like a little city landlocked in the middle of the California desert.
