[edit] Porterville-Fresno Basketball League?
Please add section. -signed by an anon IP
- From what I know about pro sports, the PFBL was a proposed minor league basketball league for the San Joaquin Valley to premiere in the 2007-08 season, to have six teams: Two in Porterville (the Junior College Gymnasium) where the league is based in, a team in Visalia, Tulare, Fresno and Clovis. The region has a huge representation of teams in the Minor League Football Association of American football, and the California Collegiate Baseball League of minor league baseball has many teams in the Fresno-Tulare county area. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 17:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Hells Angels
Nothing about the Porterville mini-riot by the Hells Angels in 1963? [1][2]? The Porterville incident is significant in the history of the Angels (and was a big news story at the time, as well as featuring prominently in Hunter S. Thompson's book about the Angels). - signed by an anon IP
[edit] Porterville's Southeast Asian community
Maybe we could noted if I have the right sources (US census?) the 2,500 Southeast Asians in Porterville, mainly of Laotian, Cambodian and Thai descent arrived since the 1970's, the Vietnamese community grew many times, and a large Filipino population made Porterville one of America's largest Southeast Asian communities. + 71.102.53.48 (talk) 17:22, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Barn Theater
I'm not sure who added the lovely tidbit about the Barn being one of the best community theaters in the nation, but whoever it was obviously hasn't gone to a show there in several years. Was it ever actually rated as such in some review? If not, that's blatant opinion, and I am removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.166.2 (talk) 20:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
