Lemoore

May 2018 — It is nice living in Lemoore, CA. It is near Fresno, CA. It is in the San Joaquin valley. Lemoore is not that big of a city. It has a Mc Donalds, Kmart, Save Mart, Walgreens, Rite aide, and other stores. This city also has a U.S. Navy base. I think it is called Lemoore NAS. It has a nice main street, with nice shops downtown. I like that Lemoore has nice stores and friendly people. I like the warm California weather. I don’t like that there is no mall in Lemoore. It has changed since I first came there by it growing more and getting a movie theater. There are nice hotels there, like the Best Western and the Motel 6.

Hanford

January 2018 — I grew up in Hanford, California. Everyone thinks because you live in California, life must automatically be all about the west coast and Hollywood. If you popped up in Hanford expecting that, you’d be wrong. Hanford is located in the San Joaquin Valley smack in the middle of California. Hanford is a heavily agricultural based town – particularly the dairy industry. When I was younger I didn’t appreciate Hanford much as there isn’t much for young people to do. However, as I’ve gotten older, Hanford has changed and improved on itself in small ways. There’s a bit of a night scene now, as well as decent shopping centers and little things to get out and do. The little downtown area is extremely charming, and most of the town’s best events happen in the Civic Auditorium or on the lawn space in front of it. Overall Hanford is a nice little town to settle down and raise a family in, but for those who seek a more “traditional” way of California life, this little cow town is not for you! I will say one thing I’ve always appreciated about Hanford’s location is depending on the way you travel it’s either a two hour drive to the beautiful Sequoia National Forest (or Yosemite) or a two hour drive to the coast (Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, Avila Beach).
