Noticed this one today. Located at W. McKinley & N. Vagedes, (1600 block).
A good use of what was probably an old Fresno Bee newspaper machine.
Next time I remember I will have to bring a couple Star Wars books with me.
More info on these kind of things can be found at littlefreelibrary.org.

It’s been mixed feelings about Ragin’ Records opening up a place in River Park.
First you’re like “Wait. WHAT!? River Park? But Ragin is, like, TOWER, dude. Metal. Punk. All subculture and stuff!”
River Park is not that.
When River Park went in it was mostly chains and a movie theater. North Fresno. The death of Fashion Fair. Sprawl. A traffic circle we didn’t get.
It was exciting and new, but no heart. Felt like it shouldn’t be.
Over the years it has evolved. Either by design or by necessity it is maybe a little more local – at least the core is.
Teazers. Barrelhouse. Coney Island Me&Ed’s. That place that used to be the sports bar. You know, stuff like that.
It feels more Fresno and I don’t know how to describe it to you more than that. Maybe it has just been there long enough.
So I guess after you work it out, it is okay that River Park has a Ragin’ Records now. Especially since it is in the parking garage (which makes it totally punk).
I’m getting soft in my old age.
Joshua Tehee and I have a good discussion about this on this month’s Flowing With Famous.

Fresno takes the win for this round. O
Only Portland has the time for something completely stupid as fuck.
Fresno is a little too busy with life to participate.

Bro. I knew it wasn’t going to get to the 105 and 106 on Friday. This is what many weather models were showing.
You could tell by 9AM it wasn’t going to be that hot.
You see, experienced Fresnans know that the night before and the morning of, tell you everything about what the day is going to be like.
I worked outside most of the day and it was fine to me (humble brag). I am locked in for this Summer.
Anyway, really I am here to take this time to note that weather people are out to fuck Fresno.
All of them predict Fresno as being hotter than it really is. This is not an issue of the reading being taken at the wrong place (which it totally is), weather apps always error on the side of hotter.
Just like my favorite one, Carrot, they predict higher than it ends up being. All. The. Time.
So screw them all. I don’t know why they want to keep Fresno down, maybe they don’t even know they are doing it. But they do it.
This is not a scientific study. I didn’t even run it by Kopi. But, Fresno is pretty dead-on with the feels like temp. No nonsense.
If it is 95 it damn well feels like 95. Our heat index is no games, no bullshit.
Is this good? Bad? I dunno. I just know that Fresno keeps it real with the temps.
