FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) A tall marquee has marked the creative center of Fresno for decades. The Tower District is a very unique, historical area, said the district s city council member, Esmeralda Soria. It s iconic.
But the original icon has riled up some of the district s devotees.
Since word got out that Adventure Church planned to buy the theater, the topic has dominated discussion for Council Member Esmeralda Soria. It s probably been in the hundreds emails, texts, direct calls, direct messages through social media just expressing their concerns about what this change would mean to the Tower District as a whole, she said. There are different restrictions about what kind of uses and businesses can come into that economic corridor.
