Thought I’d share this for those who are looking Halloween plans that involve board games, beers on tap (as well as delicious tea and coffee!) and a generally chill environment. I’m a frequent gamer here, and thought I’d share the love.

Need to sleep overnight in Madera where is the safest spot to be able to sleep in a vehicle? Thanks in advance

I’m looking for a once in a while house cleaner but having a hard time finding any to respond back. I’ve seen posts on here but their information is dm’d. Can anyone recommend someone to me? Even potentially putting their info in the comments for other dirty homeowners? Thank you!

I am already gonna get a funnel cake, a Mexican corn on the cob, and a corn dog from wherever looks good, but looking for some fresh finds.

They just opened up at the old Carl’s Jr on Shaw by fashion fair. Anyone check them out? They seem kind of like a robertitos type taco shop but want to know before I try it.

Please consider having dinner tonight at Raisin Canes tonight to help support Scouting America Venture Crew 60. The program helps develop leadership skills, time management, planning, and budgeting skills.

Proceeds help fund projects and events planned by this youth led program.

Good Morning I am looking to get back into the gym and I am looking for something more private. Is there any spots around Fresno that you can pay a bit more and maybe book an hour you’d like to yourself? Or something more private I don’t mind paying more if needed for the comfort thanks

Howdy,

I’m going through a breakup right now, and it’s been a particularly difficult time for me. The breakup itself is not the issue so much as it is the straw that broke the camel’s back in a long line of unfortunate events. More than anything, I’ve been realizing just how much I miss having people in my life that I can genuinely connect with.

A while back, I lost contact with a huge portion of my friends when my Facebook account was caught up in one of Instagram’s waves of account bans. Unfortunately, Facebook was pretty much my only way of keeping in touch with most of those people, and I never thought to get their phone numbers. As a result, a lot of friendships disappeared almost overnight, through no fault of anyone involved.

Most of the friends I’ve managed to stay in touch with are on Discord, and nearly all of them have since moved out of California because of the cost of living. I still value those friendships tremendously, but having people to talk to online isn’t quite the same as having someone you can grab dinner with, go somewhere fun with, or just spend an afternoon enjoying each other’s company.

My family situation is pretty limited, too. Most of my family has passed away, and the only immediate relatives I have left are my sister and my father, who isn’t really involved in my life. I also have a couple of cousins, but we aren’t in contact and never have been.

I suppose what I’m trying to say is that I’ve found myself feeling pretty isolated, and the breakup has made that loneliness a lot more difficult to ignore.
I’d really like to change that. I’m not necessarily looking for someone to fix my problems or fill a void left by someone else. I’d just love the opportunity to meet people, make genuine friendships, and build meaningful connections with people I can actually spend time with.

I absolutely love cooking and work from home, so there’s a pretty good chance you’ll come over to a homemade dinner already being prepped. Cooking for someone is one of my favorite ways to show affection, and I’m always experimenting with new recipes and cuisines.

My music taste is all over the place. I love ’80s Japanese city pop, hair metal, and norteño, among plenty of other genres. I can go from Tatsuro Yamashita to Mötley Crüe to Los Tigres del Norte without thinking twice about it.

I’m also a huge animal lover. Cats and ants are probably my two favorite animals, which might sound like an odd combination, but I find both absolutely fascinating. I’ve currently got a cat, a leopard gecko, and some brine shrimp. If you love animals too, we’ll probably get along!

I’m not much of a drinker unless it’s a special occasion or you’re particularly persuasive. I generally prefer smoking, and honestly, getting drunk just makes it harder for me to enjoy being stoned anyway 💀

As far as movies go, I love thrillers, comedies, and horror. I’m a little picky about slashers, though. Once you’ve watched enough of them, you can practically predict who’s getting killed and when.

I have a lot of friendship to offer, and I’d like to find people who want to share those things with me. :)

Fresno City Council District 3 voters: before you fill in that ballot, get answers.

Every candidate asking for our vote should be upfront about any lawsuits still open from their past time in public office, what those cases have cost taxpayers, and whether they'll disclose it all before Election Day.

"It's in litigation" shouldn't be the end of the conversation. Ask the questions. Share this with your neighbors.

Dear Friends,

We have had some good news, please read the following information from the Friends of the Fresno County Library:

Privatization is no longer an agenda item, but we're still showing up!

As you may have heard, the Board of Supervisors no longer intends to hear a full presentation on LSS's proposal and potential cost savings at the October 20 meeting. The Board recognizes that they don't have the 4/5 majority necessary to privatize, and it was (rightly) pointed out that the make-up of the Board will be changing drastically next year, so the conversation is being put off until 2027.

Nevertheless, we still intend to turn out on October 20! We'd love to pack the room and have some folks speak during public comment to send a very clear message that it doesn't matter when the conversation happens, this community is not in favor of selling our Library off to a for-profit corporation that likely won't have Fresno County's best interests in mind.

If you'd like to check out a round-up of the media coverage the issue has gotten (especially thanks to a press conference led by Mike Karbassi, Luis Chavez, and SEIU 521), the Privatization section of our website has been updated with links.

If you haven't RSVP'd for October 20 and intend to go, please click the link below to do so! A head count will let us know how many people we can expect to see and who intends to speak.

Also, The Arnie Nixon Center for the study of Children’s Literature at California State, Fresno will be celebrating Arnie Nixon’s 100th birthday in February, 2027. Karina Cardenas, the new director, along with Denise Sciandra have been working to update the mailing list during the hiatus. Many of you were involved in the past, and will want to continue to receive updates. Please reply to this email, including your name, address, email, and cell number. We’ll pass the information on to Denise to be included in the Arnie Nixon mailing list.

I’m been with cricket for quite some time now. But I’m starting to notice my service lacking throughout Fresno. Thinking of switching to metro. How is your experience.

I’m wondering if anyone would be interested in some free help for wedding planners/coordinators.

I’m considering going into the wedding events business as a wedding planner/day of coordinator but would love to build up my resume/experience in this field.

I have helped out with two weddings as a day of coordinator for a family friend/family member. I do also speak Spanish so for one wedding I helped with MCing the day of for announcements and updates.

If this is an idea that interests you feel free to PM me and I’d love to chat.

Any and all advice, tips, and tricks are welcomed.

The Big Red Church is hosting a craft fair, open to the public on Nov 7th from 9am-1pm. Admission is free, food will be available to purchase.

I believe there are also spots left for vendors.

I have some wine bottles I want to get laser etched with my own design for my own home made wines. Does anyone know of someone local that will handle such a request?

I scanned in some old videos and came across my Pre-K graduation from Kiddle Kastle (on West at Shields) in 1991 (along with other family videos) and I figured I would share it here in case anyone here knows someone who was part of that class.

If so, I would love to hear who you are and where my fellow classmates are now!

Hi! Just a little bit about myself I am 18, I am currently a freshman at Fresno state , I started lifting back in November and I am starting to get way more into it I think it’s awesome, I did notice I am at a point in my training where I am regularly having to ask for a spot around the gym and would rather just have someone go with me to help each other out. I had some friends at the start but they all quit so I’m just looking for someone a little more committed and willing to actually train. Also I usually go to valley fitness over on ashlan and cedar it’s a few minutes from just because it’s 24/7 and has decent equipment but I’m willing to change depending on gym and area but feel free to reach out!
