Modesto and Oakdale getting new Chipotle restaurants. Here's when they'll open

At the beginning of the year, some Modesto residents speculated that a Chipotle Mexican Grill was being built in The Marketplace shopping center on Oakdale Road. They were correct. In February, the company would only confirm that it was scheduled to open a new location in Modesto in 2027. Now, representatives for Chipotle are saying that location, at 3401 Oakdale Road, Suite 300, will open Nov. 18. It’s not the only Chipotle opening soon in Stanislaus County. One at 1595 E. F St. in Oakdale will open before the end of the year, according to a news release. Both restaurants feature a drive-thru lane and will be open 10:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Chipotle is hiring for around 30 jobs per location, according to the release. Learn more at chipotle.com/careers .

Here’s a look at the quarterfinal matchups (all games scheduled for 6 p.m. kickoff): Division 3: Merced at Vanden After going 2-2 during nonleague play, the Bears have been on a roll. Merced, which won six straight games to claim the Central California Conference championship, now heads to Fairfield for a Division 3 quarterfinal matchup.

Modesto reaches tentative settlement in lawsuit over controversial protest mask ban

Modesto has reached a tentative settlement in a lawsuit challenging its controversial ordinance banning face coverings and certain protective equipment at public demonstrations, potentially ending a months-long legal battle over protesters’ First Amendment rights. City officials announced Tuesday that a settlement in principle had been reached in the lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California on behalf of the Pacific Media Workers Guild and three individuals against the city and Modesto Police Chief Brandon Gillespie. As part of the proposed agreement, the Modesto City Council will consider removing the ordinance’s prohibition on face coverings, creating an exemption allowing journalists to wear protective equipment while covering public assemblies and modifying existing restrictions on helmets. The proposed amendments will be considered at a special City Council meeting scheduled for Monday, Nov. 16, at 5 p.m. “The parties are working to finalize the settlement agreement,” the city said in a statement posted to its social media accounts Tuesday. All other requirements of the city’s public assembly ordinance would remain in place, according to the statement. The agreement marks a significant development in a legal dispute that has drawn criticism from civil liberties organizations, journalists and local activists who argued

Turlock's Dot-Marie Jones ‘linchpin' in horror film. What she said, how to watch

Get the Eat. Sip. Play. newsletter in your inbox Available now: Sign up here for the best food, drink and entertainment coverage in Stanislaus County. Dot-Marie Jones’ performance in the indie-horror film “Breeder” has garnered attention for the local actress. Called “the film’s linchpin” in an online review on seattlerefined.com , the Turlock/Hilmar native Jones plays Patti, who breeds poodles. But Patti has become obsessed with merging “the DNA of two promising young people to create perfection which she then plans to sell on the black market,” the review says. “It’s dark and demented, though the catch is announced from the jump. Her irksome, icky pursuit is not nearly as upsetting as the means by which she seeks to achieve it.” In a Q&A story on phantasmag.com , Jones said she loved that the film was different. “It was cringey. It was a perfect horror film, but also a thriller. That kind of opportunity doesn’t come around that often, and the cast and crew were fantastic,” she said. When asked in the story about her performance being compared to that of Kathy Bates in “Misery,” Jones answered “That’s ridiculous, but it’s such an (honor) to be compared to Kathy. I

Hundreds of Stanislaus residents losing CalFresh food assistance due to federal rules

About 720 residents in Stanislaus County have lost CalFresh benefits, as of Nov. 1, because of new federal work requirements. It represents a small percentage of the 85,000 county residents receiving CalFresh food assistance , but the number of those affected will grow as their eligibility comes up for renewal in the months ahead. The county’s Community Services Agency said 2,100 people could lose the assistance if they don’t meet the work requirements under H.R. 1, the federal bill that made changes to the nation’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. CalFresh is the name for SNAP in California. A CSA spokesperson said Tuesday the agency has conducted eligibility assessments for CalFresh recipients through October, and more people are expected to lose benefits each month as additional work requirement assessments are done between November and June, 2027. “Stanislaus County remains committed to supporting community members who rely on CalFresh benefits ,” the CSA said. “When residents lose access to food assistance, it is a concern.” The county will continue to monitor the effects of H.R. 1 on residents and work closely with community partners to help connect eligible individuals and families with available food resources and support services, the agency said.
