what would get downtown going, the PBID & perception
what's holding downtown back
debts II society, sega, swede fest & litigation
reza's art
gardening
where reza eats dinner
& finally bear vs shark
as always, there are words and ideas that some find objectionable. be warned.
central scrutinizer
hey scrutinizer,
any interest in putting your money where your mouth is? that is, interested in coming on the podcast and share your thoughts about why reza is a shyster, a potential bum, a bad builder and whatever else?
maybe we can even get reza back on and you two can discuss his building endeavors.
so, what say you?
if you're interested, send me a message through fresno famous. click on my name, you should see an option to send me a message. i'll take it from there.
So Orcaoid, until the day you actually know what your
thanks for the advice, but since this is a democracy & this blog practices free speech still, no thanks, while I may not know much about the punk scene, I did help my uncle repair, refurbish townhouses one summer; drywall, tiles, roofing, carpentry (framing & stairs), painting (he did all the electrical & plumbing)
not asking you to out yourself, just give yourself a name, like "The Central Scrutinizer" works fine, then explain how you got your street cred, like I was part of the work crew at....., I learned the trade of ..... at....., or I went to college at..... & majored in......., we designed ...... & were awarded in California
that way we know you at least know what you are talking about or whether you are just a bitter competitor that just had your building torn down by the city because it was falling down before you could sell it for $80 million, your dream price for a dilapidated property you bought 30 years ago hoping for it to sky-rocket in value before you had to put anything back into it
I don't know Assemi, but I have to hand at least 3 accolades to him;
1) instead of just sitting on deteriorating buildings, he's doing something about building in DT
2) whether its with Pyramid/Granville money & crews, he's doing something DT, not waiting for that gov bailout or wished for sky-rocket dream prices before starting
3) the dude's not just talking the talk, he's walking the walk
don't be a jealous loser, if you can do better, then do it
DT needs all the help it can get

WTFEVER!!!
Give Out some of pops cash and you can have a build off, lets not forget that important fact.
The ASSemi's have been shyster's from day 1. If Reza didn't have pappy's cash, he would be a filthy bum instead of a rich one.
So Orcaoid, until the day you actually know what the @#$% your talking about and actually have any residential building experience, keep it shut!!!
The Cetral Scrutinizer
whoa Nelly, maybe you're a competitor? dude, don't hide behind
the anonymous guest tag, if you really believe what you said, why don't you at least put a name on yourself, like "GoodBuilder" or "BeenBurned" so that we have a name to discuss issues with.
I don't see
class A- personal experience?
terrible- doesn't he hire family crews & architects have to get approval & pass inspection, has he circumvented any regulation?
greedy- examples?
pretentious- isn't he an artist? what did you expect?
I've been in the Pearl & Broadway Studios for ArtHop, they looked like artists lofts, basic,(some drywall walls & unfinished stuff), but what did you expect, luxury living or Euro-design?
lets have a build-off, why don't you try to out do Reza?
let the marketplace be the judge

Holy garbage. Reza is a Class-A douchebag, a terrible builder, and an all around greedy pretentious bastard.
Burn in hell.
closed captioning or subtitles for the deaf
how do you normally listen then? is there a service program that inserts captions for the deaf automatically for most watch programs or do you have to call services that caption only if they get a lot of requests for certain programs? is it pay per view???
