Fres-Know: Of water, music, faith and balls
It's all the local news and stuff from the blogosphere that you need to Fres-know:
HATERS: Is shutting down the sno-cone man really necessary, City of Fresno? Why don't you use some of that manpower to shut down the fools who water their streets and sidewalks grass during the hottest part of the day? I'll give you a place to start: Woodward Park. I think you know where it is. [Edge of Town]
SPEAKING OF WOODWARD PARK: Should those outside of Fresno pay $2 more to see its freshly watered grass than those who live in Fresno proper? Unrelated: How many people in Fresno would you consider to be proper? Maybe just the ones who follow watering guidelines? [Fresno Bee Opinion]
INNOCENT. FOR NOW: A taco shop in Merced was robbed last night. How do I know it wasn't notorious taco lover, Mike Oz? The thieves took the cash and left the carne asada. [The Fresno Bee]
BUT DO THEY KNOW POPOZAO? Fresno: the band? Apparently so. [The Fresnan]
BAR REVIEW: Wondering where to go on a Friday night? Unless you hate your cash and like getting verbally abused, you M-ight want to avoid this place in the Tower. [QueerFresno]
HOPE MATTERS: We're used to Fresnans on reality shows, but a fellow citizen appearing in a book? Thank Jebus. [Late Update]
KICK THIS: Got a little energy to burn? The World Adult Kickball Association is coming to Fresno. Somebody sober up Vince Vaughn – I want a kickball movie in the works by September. [Fresno Famous]

If that Maria's Taco Shop is the same as the one on West and Shaw in Fresno (and I think it is) -- it's not really worth the effort to eat at or rob.
Oh, and The Man is always hatin'. It's in His DNA.

that Maria's Taco Shop on West & Shaw is horrible. I can't believe it's been open all these years. I remember the first and last time I ate there. It was back around the period 99-01. I had the munchies big time. This place was open so I stopped and ordered my food. I got home and started eating and was like WTF is this crap? I threw it out, didn't even give it to the dog because i didn't want to kill it.

I hate M.
They are pretentious and gross and hopefully going out of business soon.

I had a few drinks at M before way back when it was just a simple hookah bar and it wasn’t bad but once it turned into the “hot spot” it is now, I don’t dare step foot in there. This isn’t the first horror story I’ve heard about this place. I too live in Tower and love everything it offers which is why I’m so clueless as to why and how this place is still open... Thanks for scoop!
