    That was great!

    *Long pause* "The Prado"

    Nice. This series is awesome.

    Talk to anyone 60+ who lived in Central Fresno they will tell you they used to drag Belmont and turn around at the loop. The hub was a drive in at Belmont and Palm.

      Really! That's awesome. Man, I know how the Track was in the mid to late 90s, I wish I could of been there back in the days.

  • Claudia

    hey i think my grandpa met my grandma at el prado too! hahaha….. love this show!!

    • http://www.dumbdrum.com brodiemash

      From what I've heard, El Prado was the spot back in the days (although it was called something else, I think) Thanks for watching!

  • Jay

    Cross Streets is one of my favorite things on the Fresno internets…Keep up the good work you guys, and I can't wait for the next.

    I think the dude mis-crossing the loop was Tmob.

  • attykendall

    If that guy was improperly crossing the loop, then let me ask this- how did you get to the unicorn burial ground?

    • Bryan

      Through the magical forest and over candyland bridge, of course!

    It really sucks how we have to worry about clouding the subject with facts in today's society…. and that dude illegally crossing the loop should have been arrested for that hideous jacket…Jesus, looks like Walt Disney threw up.
    Nice job fella's… Thanks for keeping us in "the loop"!!

    excellent.

  • nativefresnan

    That's hillarious. What you are calling a loop is a circle and the name of it is actually THE BELMONT CIRCLE.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/bryanharley Bryan

      Yeah, we know. You try singing that song with "circle"! :)

    I live for Cross Streets. Keep 'em coming!

  • Steph

    Cross Streets + The Guys Who Eat = True Love in Fresno.

    • http://www.dumbdrum.com brodiemash

      We should switch it up and have those guys do a Cross Streets and we do a Guys Who Like To Eat! Just putting it out there…

    • http://www.fresnofilm.com Ray Arthur

      Or, on the next Cross Streets with special guests: The Guys Who Like to Eat," you could schedule a roach coach to drive by and…hilarity (read: food fight) ensues.

  • Chloe

    Thank you so MUCH for solving the Last Unicorn mystery … Not knowing has been tearing me apart since I was 5.

    can I get some mp3 files of the "Cross Street's" themes. New ringtones ftw. Thank yous guys for another episode.

  • http://www.weirdfresno.com Michael

    Best one yet sirs. Though I am slightly pissed at myself that you guys did the story on the burial location for the Last Unicorn before I did. That was going to be my post on Weird Fresno tomorrow. Now I have to do another chupacabra story.

    • http://www.dumbdrum.com brodiemash

      Don't underestimate the drawing power of a Chupacabra story, my friend!

  • http://www.aileenimperatrice.com Aileen Imperatrice

    "Arborologist" I love it!

    • http://www.dumbdrum.com brodiemash

      That's totally a real word, swear :)

  • http://www.facebook.com/adrianr Adrian Rodriguez

    That loop brings great memories of going to places like Triangle and Edison High School.

  • jimguy

    Ride your CBR, R1 or ZX9R around the loop and see if you can drag yer knee.

    • http://www.dumbdrum.com brodiemash

      I prefer all-wheel drive action and pulling some lateral G's (as you can see in the video) but to each his own :) I think I'd kill myself if I ever got on a motorcycle. Unless it had a side car, which is my plan eventually.

    • jimguy

      I actually rode over to check the feasibility of knee dragging there, (I read too many UK bike mags), but the surface there is all torn up. It's in serious need of repaving. That probably kept me out of trouble, though.

  • Mystery Poster

    The concrete flag USED to be made out of flowers…but instead of spending money on a gardener, they just decided to make it out of cement (instead of doing away with it all together). Whoopie… Ah, Fresno…

    Anyway, when can we expect #4???

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/bryanharley Bryan

      Flowers to concrete? Nice.

      #4 is already shot, so probably 2 weeks-ish?

  • Kimcollier

    that so made my day.

  • bee

    THE LOOP!! REPRESENT!! really?? the last unicorn?? ever?? sniff sniff

  • jodifitz

    "I can still hear the mission bells and the train rolling through your town
    Gonna leave this world behind, we're Southern California bound."

    Name that tune….
