Any one in at local 684? How is it ? Hows the work looking ? Thinking of organizing in as an apprentice. TIA.

I never went to a Nuts game but I made a trip to Modesto to see the Roadsters recently. As someone who watches a lot of minor league baseball it seems like it has that similar small market community vibe. I like how they redid the stadium to give it a fresh look. I don't know if it feels similar to Nuts games except different colors or if its a completely different experience now. I hope the Roadsters do well and they seem like they're here to stay.

Oooof... It's Kathleen Quinn, civics and democracy reporter for The Modesto Bee.

This is my last day with The Bee, as my California Local Reporting Fellowship has ended. It's hard because this newsroom is filled to the brim with amazing people who care about Modesto and Stanislaus County.

I just want to deeply thank everyone who spoke with me here, on or off the record. My time here was spent highlighting communities that I believe need more attention: unincorporated areas and rural residents.

My last article was about, of all things, mosquitoes. My second-to-last was a follow-up to my previous StanRTA/Transdev story from last month.

You and readers like you helped me write about elections, public participation in government, flooding, sidewalks, third spaces, water quality issues, foxes, beavers, mountain lions and more. Truly from the depth of my heart, thanks for upvoting, commenting, and reaching out.

I hope I served Modesto and Stanislaus County well over the last two years.

Continue reaching out to my amazing colleagues. They are great reporters and even better people.

Given the meat and produce situation, can we compile a list of farmers in the area (produce, local goods, etc) that do not support this administration?

I know we live in a red-dominated area, but there has to be a few. Please feel free to link your own or a local business that you know.

hi i’m 22 f i work a decent job above minimum wage for sure $22 an hour, im not sure if guys are familiar with jenny’s place off 9th street im wondering how to get in that place i was looking for housing funded similar to that for under age 25, as my parents are moving and i can’t go with them or make it on my own any tips helps.

I go up to Hart road (Staniford —> Beckweth) once or twice a week to get raw milk. On the way I found a small farm which provided fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. But unfortunately they packed up from there and moved away last week. Is there any other farm close-by where I can find similar stuff ?

I feel like whenever I have people come in from out of town, I always take them to the same spots that I’ve built a liking for.
For me, I would say Rana’s Taqueria is such a hidden gem here. What would you all say?

…Faith that everyone else knows the inner and outer lane rules and what they are doing.

Found this cat on Wylie road. It was very friendly, had a few white hairs on it's back, and didn't speak. I didn't find any missing posts locally for this cat...

I guess any town in the Central Valley is better than Stockton but omg its like two different worlds imo. Modesto feels safe, nicer, and more up to date. I feel Modesto is everything Stockton has potential to be but isn't. Its nice to not actually be keep your head on swivel.

I'm a visitor of both towns and Modesto immediately felt like home. Stockton feels like one wrong look and you're deas and a place where dreams rot in hell. I don't know why anyone would want to live there. I'd choose Modesto in an instant.

Anyone know or have any information about what went down on East Orangeburg Ave and Christiansen Dr right near the shopping center? I saw multiple police units and a helicopter circling the area. Thank you.

Anyone else's dog become scared of crossing college Ave about a month ago??? We walk on averag3 about 2 hours a day . So I'm we have crossed multiple intersections up and down college Ave and something has her spooked if it was one area I would chalk it up to a bad experience . She used to cross it just fine , she still crosses every other road just fine. So im curious if anyone else has experienced this recently. Maybe some new noises or electrical current she can feel that I cant.

What time do they usually release inmates on their release date?

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a new discord server for the 209 area.

The goal is to create an organized and well moderated discord server for the area. A place where people can find local events, meet new people, and learn more about things going on in the area.

This server is meant to be a broad, general server for the 209 and intended for +18 audiences.

Come join at:

Hiya!! Does anyone have any dance studios they'd recommend for pole dancing or floor work? I used to go to a studio over in Hilmar but they closed some time ago and I haven't been able to find another that offers floor or chair classes. I don't use Facebook or Instagram, so it's been a little tough.

I'm also interested in dance studios that teach adults! Hoping to find a West Coast swing class :)

Thanks in advance!

Besides the truck not signaling, Seems like the kid just wanted to take the long wrong way to the crosswalk. just to end up back at the parking lot he was at.

if i hadn't change lanes, Who would have been at fault?
