Talented Van Ness Village

 Since 1920, The Van Ness Village  has been a pocket of creativity in Fresno's Tower District. Founded as a commercial district between Home and Floradora Streets to service the State University, it is one of the oldest commercial districts. 
 I haven't met everyone around The Village, but everyone I've met seems to be a creative talent.  Here are just a few of the talents carrying  The Village forward.
