Фресно

i've never been to fresno, california, but i've now spent three months in its sister. taraz and fresno are sister cities. even though taraz is not listed as an official sister city on fresno's english language wiki page, it is on the russian version, and sister cities international has the taraz-fresno sisterhood listed in its official sister city directory(though it is listed as "djambul", the town's name between 1938 and 1997). plus, there are references to fresno scattered around the city. once i recognized the city's name in cyrillic, i started seeing it all over the place.





maybe someone who knows fresno better than me can explain the family resemblence.
