I miss the Fulton Mall. I loved the International Festivals and the chalk drawings there.

I wish Fresno would at least have less crime. In fact, its rate is horrible this year. Back then this was a perfect destination if anybody needs to travel to the south or north of California. Am I saying this correctly from parts of the city's history?

The remodel of the Fulton mall is the best thing that could've ever happened...
Downtown Fresno revitalization will never happen!! The Armenian mafia will not let it happen.

Hello Ms. Chavez. I'd like to address your observations about Fulton Art Mall being "scary" and "full of drunk homeless". This statement is a fallacy, since about the end of 2014 and beginning of 2015, the homeless/vagrant problem has been virtually wiped out. Because the Downtown Fresno Partnership hired a private security company to patrol and monitor the mall, day and night, for littering in alleys and most importantly the homeless or vagrant problem. Once again, we'd like to state that the City of Fresno and the Downtown Fresno Partnership made ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT to deal with this homeless/vagrant problem before the February 27, 2014 City Council vote to accept the Tiger Grant and destroy the Fulton Art Mall. Why did they not make this effort before the vote? Simply to make the Fulton Art Mall seem dangerous and scary to citizens before the vote. Then the public would be convinced that this "scary" place needed to be ripped out and replaced. The Downtown Fresno Partnership is an organization made up of Fulton Mall building owners, the City of Fresno, and other well-known national businesses like Wells Fargo etc.

It is a one of its kind art piece in its entirety and a masterpiece of Mid Century Landscape Architecture, with multi-million dollar artwork. And it belongs to the people of Fresno, who paid for the art. We should continue to preserve it.

With all do respect Tokmakian..>Fresno will NEVER be a destination city. The City is interested in revenue and commerce and revitalization and the count's largest outdoor arts display is not going to do it, alot of people don't really care about that., is that sad?? yes! But it's reality..please see the Met fiasco. I'm for the putting in the street but lets design a happy medium between saving the art AND putting the street in. I'm sure if you ask the retailers there on the mall the majority will say put the street in.
@fresnofultonartmall39958 жыл бұрын
Hi Jeffrey! I know this a very late reply to your comment but I'd like to address some points you mention. Professor Tokmakian is not saying Fresno will ever be a destination city but rather the City of Fresno needs to promote the Fulton Art Mall as a destination to the outside world. I agree with you that most Fresnans don't care about the Fulton Art Mall. But that's because almost all Fresnans have not been educated by the City of Fresno or the Educational or Art community in Fresno about the Fulton Art Mall's outstanding collection of art and the unique design of the whole mall itself. I have to disagree with you in the fact that the outside world does consider the Fulton Art Mall as unique in all the world. There is no place like it on earth. Also, the majority of retailers DO NOT want the mall torn up. They want it to refurbished and maintained. They know that most of them will not survive the street construction. This is already happening now as the street is being put in. My claims about how retailers along Fulton Mall feel is not my opinion. It is documented fact from the public meetings the City of Fresno had to discuss alternatives to the Fulton Art Mall which started in 2002 all the way through 2010 or so. This is documented in the film about the "How Public Opinion was Ignored" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6fchYGPnrp_eZo

Even though I'm a proponent of putting the street back in..I believe that the City is wrong in "blaming" the Fulton Mall as the prime reason for downtown's decline. We all know it was the deep rich pockets of the developers that shaped the City. By the 1970's the ball was already rolling north. Plus with Operation Rezone all hell broke loose. But I think Ashley is tryna make a concerted effort with the 2035 Gen Plan to concentrate more on infill plus with opening the Mall up to traffic more positive things will happen.
