Fresno's Azteca Theater was the focal point for Fresno's Latino community in the 1940s, 50s and 60s. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. Hear the story behind this local landmark on KVPR's Central Valley Roots. (link in comments)

Vintage Fresno’s next chapter!! 📚

I’ve spent the last eleven years of my free time enjoying my passion for learning, sharing, and advocating for Fresno’s history and what makes our city special — in hopes of instilling community pride.

I’m thrilled to officially announce the launch of my business, ! 🚃💨

I’m taking what I’ve enjoyed sharing on social media over the years, along with my experience in historic preservation, storytelling, and community engagement, to create something Fresno can truly be proud of.

The first two pilot tours will feature the Tower District! 🏘️

Tours will be held May 23rd & 30th at 10am and will include an exclusive visit inside the iconic 💒 where you’ll have the opportunity to hear the church’s original pipe organ played! 🎶

This roughly 60-minute experience combines a vintage-style trolley ride on with immersive storytelling as you sit back and take another look at places you may drive by every day — while discovering some of the stories hidden within the walls of old buildings and the people who helped shape Fresno and the Tower District into what they are today.

A huge thank you to and her office for their support!

I’ll continue improving the tours based on community feedback and will add more dates as demand grows. I hope you’ll join me for these first two pilot tours and learn something new about Fresno’s historic Tower District!
