A California Pizzeria Hides One of the Last Traces of a Town-Wide Tunnel Network
Pizza and hidden tunnels do not usually share the same address, but California has a way of surprising you. This pizzeria looks like any other friendly hometown spot, with palm trees outside and the smell of fresh dough drifting through the door. Beneath the floor, however, sits something most towns...

High-speed rail forced La Tapatia to move its Fresno store. Customers still can't find it
For decades, La Tapatia Tortilleria ran a little store on Belmont Avenue. It was a place to sell the tortillas, chips and other products it makes in its downtown factories to the public, instead of shipping them directly off to grocery stores, restaurants and school cafeterias. In recent months, the store was bombarded by the rubble and noise of the construction of California’s high-speed rail and related work, leading to an “extreme loss in business,” said Yvette Cuellar, director of public relations and marketing for the company and daughter of the founder. So in late September, it moved the store, with some financial help from the High-Speed Rail Authority. But its troubles aren’t over. Some customers still can’t find it. The old store and the new La Tapatia store Today, the new La Tapatia Retail Outlet is in a bright orange building at 403 N. H St. It’s not on a major thoroughfare. It’s on a stretch of H Street — north of the intersection of H and Palm Avenue, moving away from downtown — that most people don’t drive unless they’re pulling a milk truck into the Producers Dairy plant. “It’s really difficult to find us,” Cuellar said. “It’s

Libelula is taking over Tokyo Garden. Why that feels personal for many Fresnans
Among all the restaurant news that broke over the last few weeks (and there’s been some fairly big announcements ) one piece should stand out for those who are into downtown Fresno. Libelula is taking over Tokyo Garden. This had been rumored as a possibility since the restaurant announced it would be leaving its current space next to the Crest Theatre (and in the path of High Speed Rail Construction). It was confirmed by owners in a video last week. The news should be met with excitement ... and relief. “In a time when so much of the past in Fresno gets knocked down or paved over, we couldn’t stand by and let a piece of Fresno’s history disappear,” chef/owner Ian Cookson said. “We didn’t come here to erase what Tokyo Garden built. We came here to save it.” There was a span of time during the late 2000s into 2010s, when the progress of downtown revitalization could be measured by a visit to Tokyo Garden (that’s singular, no S). The Japanese restaurant and bar (and possibly Fresno’s original karaoke joint) opened in 1956 and was already a known quantity amongst downtown dwellers and denizens (seen as pioneers in the

Fresno’s historic Uncle Tom’s is more than just a kooky name – and more than meets the eye
One reason Fresno may get a bad rap is that we typically aren’t great at branding or self-mythologizing. If we celebrate our history at all, it’s ag, it’s William Saroyan. Maybe it’s the Forestiere Underground Gardens (which we wrecked a lot of before someone belatedly figured they might be worth preserving).

Some road trip stops are quick. Others turn into a habit you plan your whole Yosemite trip around. In the small mountain town of Oakhurst, California, there is a barbecue counter where the line often forms before dinner even starts, and plenty of people who wait once end up coming back the very next night. The reason usually comes down to one thing: the ribs.

‘Was Jesus really a throne guy?’ Inside the faith marketing behind the viral Clovis coffee shop
Christian coffee shops are everywhere in Fresno and Clovis, but Kuppa Joy stands out as one of the oldest, and probably the most faith-forward. Founded 14 years ago and currently boasting eight coffeehouses and dozens of employees, Kuppa Joy not only predates most of its church-coffee competitors, it also dwarfs them in both size and locations.
