Tower Theatre
Fresno's Tower District began as a shopping mecca during the 1920s, gaining its name after the Tower Theatre, a beautiful art deco movie house that opened in 1939. The theater is now used as a center for the performing arts. Surrounding it are bookstores, shops, high-end restaurants and coffeehouses that cater to Fresno's gay and alternative communities. This is the city's best neighborhood for browsing and kicking back with an iced latte.

Mearle's Drive-In
The Taj Mahal of classic drive-ins, Mearle's neon sign is flat out lovely to behold at sunset. Cheeseburgers, fries, shakes and other grease-pit fare are what you'll get here.
