Sat October 26 at 12:00 PM, Cafe Corazon
1306 North Wishon Avenue, Fresno, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
I am touring California visiting every Fosters Freeze. Tomorrow (Sat) I'm road-tripping from SF to Fresno to visit all five in your fine city.
If you'd like to meet me on my travels between about 12 and 4, raise your hand.

If there are more than zero of you, let's meet at Corazon Cafe in the Tower District around Noon.

Dammit, I should have thought of the insurance part last week. I will get the car rental insurance quote in the morning and if it's reasonable I'm in!

zippy, our family business was Foster's Freeze (Hermosa Beach, CA) when I was a kid. I knew there were some left. Do you know how many?

zippy, I'm sorry I couldn't join you, but I still have an allergy to the San Joaquin Valley I developed when I lived in Visalia for a year...

But when you're ready for your tour to hit the 101/Central Coast region (north-to-south Paso Robles, Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and Lompoc), let me know - I'll give you directions and show you around (the S.L.O. Foster's is two blocks from Bubblegum Alley, which is just far enough to be sanitary).

Danf, the one at 1429 Hermosa Avenue, telephone no. FR 4-6424?

In the 60s, there were around 250 Fosters Freezes, now there are around 90.

I visited about 3.5% of them today.
