May plan to relocate there. I was surprised to see a Bestbuy, Target, innout and stuff like that. What is there to do there? Anything else besides the shops on Mooney?

Cow tipping.

Edit: that's just an idea, you might have to supply the cows.

Edit 2: well, you're about the same distant from SF, LA, or LV. Take your pick.

for future reference, the world does not revolve around California, and you can not assume that we know that the place you want to know about is there.

Hmmm, just looked it up in the map. Never heard of the place, but looking at the map, that's a shit hole. Good news though, you're pretty close to squaw valley so you can go ski there. And you're pretty close to 2 national park. I wonder if they allow wild life hunting there.

I think an episode of 24: Season 2 revolved around that city. Watch it and go look for the sights :p.

Visalia? Didn't Jack Bauer leave that place a smoking radioactive hole because he failed?

Move. The San Joaquin Valley is the armpit of California.

HEY!! I live in said armpit...:D

There's really not much to do in Visalia...not much at all.

The few positives would include your close proximity to Yosemite an Seqouia/King's Canyon national parks...plus you're only about 3-4 hours from L.A.

I hope you like fog...Visalia is one of the worst parts of the valley for fog...not that ANY part of it is much better...and heat...it gets FUCKING hot here in the summertime. (105+)

Not much to do here. There are some bars, and the downtown is nice but thats about it.

That was Valencia. JB was in Visalia previously though.

Visalia is nice, but that's about it. Are you getting a job there? I know plenty of people that live in Fresno and commute to Visalia. It takes about 45 min. There's much more to do in Fresno, you can search for the few "what to do in Fresno" threads around here.

Didn't you read the title? It's in California dummy.

:p

He put CA later. Besides, I've lived in CA all my life and I've never heard of Visalia.

Yeah, but you're in San Fransissy...most of you people don't realize there's a whole big world out there...just east of Oaktown...;)

Yep. I was last in Visalia in 1975 for the Jazz Band Competition.
Seriously, though.... There is decent fishing within an hour or so drive from there. You're near Yosemite, As mentioned, you're equidistant from LA / SF. You're close to Monterey / Morro Bay, so it's not like you can't go somewhere.
Visalia is an old California Agricultural town. Think Mid-West Farm town values.
