This Subway shop in the Central Valley is one of the highest ranked in nation. Here's why
Caruthers is a small town just off the 41, about 15 miles south of downtown Fresno. About 2,600 people live there, according to the 2020 census. It has one of the country’s best-rated Subways. The Subway at 2459 W. Tahoe Ave. has 349 reviews on Google and an average rating of 4.80. SEO Backlinks , a digital public relations and data analysis firm, looked at all Subway restaurants with more than 100 reviews and found that makes the Caruthers location the third-best Subway restaurant in the state and the 10th-best Subway in the country. “Every Subway sells the same menu, so when one of them scores this high across hundreds of reviews, it comes down to the people behind the counter,” said Oliver Weston, the founder of SEO Backlinks, in a press release. The Subway is attached to a Valero gas station and a laundromat. Many of the Caruther Subway’s reviews praised the staff’s customer service, with several people detailing how they’re always greeted with a smile. The best-ranked Subway restaurants in California were: 5070 Rocklin Rd, Rocklin, CA 7930 E Florence Ave, Downey, CA 2459 W Tahoe Ave, Caruthers, CA 21612 Plano Trabuco Rd, Trabuco Canyon, CA 5150 Fair

Fresno’s Cats Need More Than Kindness—They Need a Community
You might recognize me as the controversial cat thief on TikTok or as that random alt baddie who keeps showing up in your neighborhood with a Havahart humane trap (or two). But allow me to formally introduce myself: My name is Kelsey, and I’m the founder of KVLT Kitties Animal Rescue. Behind the tattoos, traps and controversial internet commentary is a commitment that’s pretty straightforward: cats deserve safety, care and someone willing to show up and keep fighting for them.

Two weeks left to enjoy this viral Clovis coffee trend before the menu changes
When the calendar hits mid-November, these pumpkins are going to go away — at least until next year. Spirit Made Cakes , a Clovis bakery that also serves coffee and other food, has already served hundreds of cups of coffee in the mini pumpkins this year alone. The bakery started serving drinks in pumpkins last year, when owner Vartine Garabet saw the idea from a cafe in New Jersey. Garabet brought the mini pumpkins into her shop, even though the process is labor-intensive. She and her team clean, carve, wash and dry each mini pumpkin, and she estimated that it can take between 45 minutes to an hour to process up to 6 pumpkins to the point where the bakery can serve drinks in them. Still, the payout is worth it: videos featuring Spirit Made Cakes’ pumpkin drinks quickly went viral on social media. “We have to get so many pumpkins,” Garabet said. Two of those pumpkins were ordered by Katie Hollenback and Madison Peckham, two friends who stopped by the bakery with their children, six-month-old Wiley and 19-month-old Saylor. Hollenback ordered a pumpkin spice latte in her pumpkin, while Peckham chose a white chocolate mocha with cold brew. “This

For Chris Carsten in ‘Water for Elephants,’ the Saroyan Theatre is home. Sort of.
The last time we saw Chris Carsten perform in Fresno, he did it with an intensity so pummeling that it reminded me of turning up a stereo until the sound distorts. That was in 2022, in Good Company Players’ masterful production of “A Man for All Seasons” at the 2nd Space Theatre, and Carsten played the pivotal role of Thomas Cromwell with an explosive, even reckless, performance. It was stunning.
