Visalia breaks ground on first new park in 12 years
The community is invited to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new four-acre neighborhood park at 10 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 23 in southwest Visalia. The park will serve the surrounding community and help meet the recreational needs of the 225 new single-family homes planned for the area, city staff said. The park is located on the southwest corner of Roeben Street and Howard Avenue. It is the first city park to be constructed in the last decade. "We invite everyone to join us for this special occasion," Parks & Recreation Director Jason Glick said. "We're excited to begin construction on our first neighborhood park in 12 years.

Highway 99 runs straight through the heart of California farm country, and most drivers never slow down in Traver. That habit is starting to change. A small barbecue counter in this tiny Tulare County town has people from Texas, Alabama, and North Carolina claiming it holds its own against the barbecue they grew up on. The brisket comes with real bark, the menu has a bacon-wrapped surprise called the Texas Twinkie, and the doors close by mid-afternoon, so timing matters.
