Visalia, Farmersville and Exeter staff continue to work together in order to create the best possible public transportation options for their citizens. Visalia Transit has some changes coming to bus lines beginning in July. The public comment period has been extended through August 18 – leaving some changes to not be implemented until the first […]
The Rawhide trailed for the entire game after Dillon Dobson put the Giants ahead with a three-run homer in the fourth inning. San Jose (16-25) used rallies in the sixth and eighth innings to score a run apiece and expand the lead to 5-1, and Visalia’s offense wasn’t putting together hits with runners in scoring […]
For most weekenders and day-trippers, the allure of California’s Central Coast tapers off somewhere south of Pismo Beach. Those folks are missing out. Down the road, past the point where Highway 101 starts its climb into Santa Barbara County, endless rows of strawberries fill the air with the scent of fruit, rocket ships stand poised […]
There’s a lot of history to be found along Highway 49 from the Central Valley to Northern California, and Columbia is one point of interest well worth spending a couple of days. Located in Tuolumne County, just a few miles from Sonora, and about 150 miles north of Visalia, Columbia was founded during the Gold […]
The South Valley is well-known for an abundance of antique stores. But, for a change of pace, and an enjoyable out-of-the-area trip, the Oakhurst-Coarsegold area has a whole different array of shops. Located along Highway 41, Coarsegold Historic Village is home to a unique community of shops and vendors including antiques and collectibles. The Village […]
With Visalia leading 6-0, the San Jose Giants kicked their offense into gear in the sixth inning. With Jose Almonte working into the sixth for the third straight start, he walked Dillon Dobson and Heath Quinn to start the inning before giving up an infield single off of his hip to Ryan Howard, loading the […]
Farmersville has been undergoing a lot of roadwork on its main streets. Included is a bus turnaround on South Farmersville Blvd., along with a bus stop intended for Visalia Transit Route 12 buses to accommodate seniors from a local apartment complex. Currently, Route 12 moves along Caldwell Ave. from Mooney Blvd. in Visalia, and further […]
Joel Payamps took the mound this evening with Rawhide starters having dealt four consecutive quality starts, and he picked up right where Justin Donatella left off yesterday, not allowing a hit until the fifth inning. Payamps (W, 3-0) had a good slider working for him all night and used it to strike out six Giants […]
Sunset Campground in the Grant Grove area of the Kings Canyon, will have to remain closed until further notice. It was scheduled to open on May 24 but many trees killed by drought, insect activity, and a heavy winter created far more hazards than expected. “Other areas in the Sierra are starting to recover and tree […]
It felt like deja vu all over again. Visalia went to the bottom of the ninth chasing one run and put the tying run on base, this time thanks to a two-out bloop single by Jason Morozowski that he dunked into right field. The Rawhide had put the tying run on base in eighth inning […]
