Selma's Knotty Chix Pretzels Finally Opens Storefront After Six-Year Pandemic Side Hustle
A pretzel business born out of pandemic boredom has finally found a permanent home in downtown Selma. Knotty Chix, the twisty-dough venture started by Viviana Sisneros, has opened a brick-and-mortar store at 1920 High Street, across from Lincoln Park, after years of selling through pop-ups, farmers markets and social media orders.

Want to throw axes and eat? Check out Fresno's new virtual reality arcade
In the same place, people can watch a game, throw darts or axes at a digital wall, get strapped into a virtual reality game or practice their golf game. And that’s not even touching the special events, like video game tournaments and cookie-designing classes, that Vibe-In hosts with other parts of the community. Prince Singh, the owner of Vibe-In, opened the arcade in March, but the idea existed years before it. He grew up in Visalia as part of a very business-minded family and watched his parents, uncles and aunts build and run different companies. Singh also helped at some of those companies, which gave him a solid idea of what he didn’t want to do with his life. “I was kinda burnt out with the gas station,” Singh said. “I wanted something different.” He spent a couple of years trying to develop a hotel on some property his parents own before realizing that because of county, fire department and highway regulations, building a hotel there wasn’t feasible. Singh also picked up some experience working for his uncles, who operated their own Chuck E. Cheese locations. The decision to open his own space came from spending time with his friends.

California Barbecue Fans Pull Off Highway 99 In Tiny Traver For Real Texas-Style Brisket
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.
