When I was growing up we used to haul produce into Fresno at the produce places on G Street. I remember my father saying as we got into West Fresno around West and Jenson, or West and Church that we were on Snake Road. I remember after West and Church the road was real curvy and it was by a canal. When you got to Fruit and California, on the right was Holland's Country Club, and the Creole Kitchen. There were also Meat Packing places around there too.
In the 1970's the band Redbone, Lolly Vegas, and Pat Vegas were from Fresno. They had a song called Jerico. The song opened with: Theres a neighborhood on the edge of Fresno. Down by the Old Snake Road and City Dump. Years after I moved to the Sacramento area I had a band and we called it "The Snake Road Band" It sounded cool. We never played anywhere, and we fizzeled out. A few years before moving to Arizona, I find out there is many bands called The Snake Road Band. About four years ago I type Snake Road, and get that it is Barton Road near Sanger. Also near a river. It is on a list of Haunted places. Is this true? I am curious about this. Any information would be great.
