Guadalajara ‘coming soon' to this Fresno corner. What it means for restaurant's fans
Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant’s “coming soon” sign at Olive and Fowler avenues has some people in Fresno buzzing. What is the popular restaurant planning? A permanent food truck. The restaurant, with its longtime location on Weber Avenue, plans to park a food truck on the property of Fresno Roofing Co., near the southwest corner. It will be open from about 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day except Tuesday, said Richard Garcia, part of the family that owns the restaurant. Garcia’s brother-in-law is manager at Fresno Roofing. “The owners always come to the restaurant and eats, and they’re always like, ‘Why don’t you set up your trailer there?’” So they made it happen. The food truck will have the same menu as the 38-year-old restaurant, including Guadalajara’s popular chile verde plate with rice and beans. Tacos, fajitas and the camarones a la diabla, a spicy shrimp dish, will be on the menu. All the dishes will have homemade tortillas too. Breakfast burritos will be available for morning commuters, along with family dinners for the after-work crowd. Exactly when the truck will open is still up in the air. The family has had the truck for a while, but haven’t used it

Fresno council wants new license plate reader rules, but tables talks until December
The Fresno City Council has postponed consideration of new rules for the city’s use of automatic license plate readers, known as ALPRs, until next month after some officials said a deeper conversation is necessary. The city recently announced it will not renew its contract with ALPR company Flock Safety when the agreement expires in February, citing concerns the company's systems have proven vulnerable to misuse. The city still plans to find a new ALPR company to replace Flock in Fresno soon. On Thursday, the council was scheduled to begin considering stricter rules for the city’s use of ALPR camera technology, including language against the use of facial recognition and a 30-day limit on the retention of data not connected to any police investigation. Though the Fresno Police Department has its own ALPR policies, the new ordinance, sponsored by District 6 Councilmember Nick Richardson, was intended to create citywide rules and allow the council to provide oversight of the technology. The council ultimately decided to table the item until its Dec. 3 meeting after District 3 Councilmember Miguel Arias called for more time. He urged the council to wait for the newly-elected councilmembers to take office and said a discussion on

Sunsets, craft cocktails, shareable plates: Check out Fresno's hidden rooftop bar
Quail State has a deck that can see miles of downtown Fresno. Someone walking on Fulton Street could be forgiven for missing the bar’s entrance. Quail State is an upscale cocktail bar and lounge on the second floor of the historic Pacific Southwest Building . There’s a board out front of the building that lets people know they need to go inside, and from there it’s a quick ride in the rich wood-paneled elevator to the building’s second floor, where the bar and its deck are located. Mandip Singh and Amritpaul Singh (no relation) bought Quail State in 2023, but it was first founded by Josh and Hayley Islas-Wolf in 2021. When Mandip and Amritpaul took the bar over, they decided they wanted to create more of a community aspect and added a food menu, as well as almost-daily events focused on art and socializing. “It’s not a club vibe,” Mandip said. “It’s for all age groups.” People can either get shareables or a full meal, depending on what they’re in the mood for, with options including pizza, pasta, salads and wings (Quail State makes their own lemon pepper sauce in-house), but one particular appetizer came highly recommended from bartender

GOP leader losing as Blue Wave hits deep red Central Valley
Votes are still being counted in a deep-red Central Valley Assembly race, but the latest results show signs that a Democrat has the potential to flip the seat. As of Thursday morning, Democratic candidate Hipolito Cerros, a former small-town mayor who ran a lowkey grassroots campaign, is ahead of Alexandra Macedo, the Republican minority leader, by 325 votes. Both Cerros, 28, and Macedo, 32, are running in the 33rd Assembly District, a pocket of the state that has not seen a Democrat represent it in the Assembly since 1967.

Store closings, bankruptcy. What to know about The Children's Place in Fresno area
The future is looking bleak for The Children’s Place stores in and around Fresno. Workers at the Fashion Fair mall store say it’s shutting down and giant “store closing” signs hang from the ceiling, though the company has not officially confirmed it is closing. The future of locations at Visalia Mall and Hanford Mall is unclear. Both locations are holding liquidation sales. The New Jersey-based company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Sunday. The kids clothing retailer is attempting to survive the bankruptcy, looking for a new owner to buy it before the end of the year. Announcements of store closures are coming, according to an email from a company spokesperson. The message said: “At this time, all of our stores and e-commerce sites remain open and continue to serve customers. With that said, The Children’s Place has determined that it will be necessary to close certain stores during this process. As such, we are conducting an ongoing evaluation of our operational footprint and will communicate confirmed decisions as they are made.” The mall retailer’s revenue fell 18.9% in its most recent financial quarter compared to the same time last year. The Children’s Place took on “huge” levels of debt, some
