Natives invade Fresno

You can call them sellouts, a-holes, quiters, or maybe just cool people that needed a change. Who are these people? Fresno Natives, livin' life elsewhere. And Fresno will be crawling with them Thanksgiving weekend as they return to visit family - and remember why they left.
So, what are THE places to see the Natives mixing it up with locals?
I think Livingstones is a guarantee (patio pictured above). Maybe the Bullard grads hit the Elbow Room. I've run into Natives at the Silver Dollar many times over the years.
So where do YOU bump into Natives the most?
Close encounter with Native
A friend of mine called me up Weds night and said he was in town from L.A. We met up and instead of dissing Fresno he said, "I walked out of my parents house tonight and I could actually see the stars and I noticed how quiet their street was. I'm seriously thinking of moving back here." I was suprised to say the least. Just thought I'd share that.
UHHH......

Great point Tommy
You definately do get those people that love to talk about how great of call they made leaving and how f-ing special their new city is. Meanwhile, they're doing the same shit they did living in Fresno.

Those are the three obvious spots. I recommend going if you want to be informed on why it's better to live somewhere other than Fresno. Try not to step in the bullshit, though, as it will be pretty deep. It's really quite a magic show. Waiters become actors, assistants become professionals, cal poly becomes a good school...
