Fresno does have an amazing collection of neon signs. The giant horse and cowboy sign near the zoo is particularly good, and there are several other nice ones in the Tower district. There's also several really cool theatre facades in downtown, especially the Crest. Unfortunately, many of these old buildings are not occupied and many of the signs aren't maintained so it's anyone's guess as to how long they'll be around. If I ever find the time, I'd like to take photos of all the good vintage signs in Fresno.
There must be some tikiphiles in Fresno. About a month ago I saw two Outrigger mugs in the window of a downtown thrift. It was a Sunday, and they were closed. So I left work a little early on Monday to pick them up. But they were gone :^(
Do email if you find yourself in Fresno.
