A Central Valley capital whose page reads less like a statehouse town than a farm club for the West Coast entertainment industry — an Actor bench at better than twice the global baseline, a surprisingly thick Screenwriter presence, and a Baseball cohort running at nearly twelve times baseline, the long tail of those dry, warm valley afternoons where scouts still come looking.
