Stop laughing – Visalia is a city to me. Remember, I grew up outside of Ivanhoe, lived in Lemon Cove for 11 years and have lived in Three Rivers for 12. When I left for college, Visalia had a mere 35,000 people. Now it has over 100,000 and not one, but two (count ’em – one, two!) parking garages! I couldn’t decide whether the stairs or the elevator posed the least danger (cities are scary and parking garages are really scary – all those chases on cop shows!) The amount of porkadelia I was hauling to the gallery caused me to choose the elevator, but next time it will be the stairs. Anyway, here is the view from the parking garage:
Doesn’t that look like a city to you? Oh hush!
It was an interesting time at Main Gallery with lots and lots of people passing through. They were friendly, interested, and interesting. Met a guy from New Orleans, a woman from Alaska, quite a few artists, and lots of people who said “Visalia needs this!” Very encouraging, very positive feedback. If you haven’t yet stopped by, here is the link for the address and hours: http://www.maingalleryvisalia.blogspot.com/

Yes, Visalia is a city. There were only two high schools when I was a senior, now there are four. COS was just on Mooney Blvd, now several locations. I watched movies and ate popcorn at the Fox theatre. Only one shopping mall, now several. But, there is only one ‘downtown’, which I visit on every visit to Visalia. Thanks for the views –
