Summary
Fresno’s downtown is getting a booze-friendly makeover with three new entertainment zones where licensed drinks can be enjoyed outdoors during approved events. Covering parts of Fulton Street and side streets, the pilot aims to boost foot traffic and revitalize local businesses. Restaurant owners are optimistic but stress safety—especially with younger crowds—and demand visible police presence. To keep things under control, wristbands will verify age, special cups track drink sources, and officers will patrol to ensure responsible behavior. Events run from 10 a.m. to midnight, with rules tailored to crowd size and safety needs. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
