Working on some of these cellar angels from way back… Had to lay down and crawl to find some bottles, and yes: if you’ve ever seen my cellar, you know there is a section requiring literally crawling and feeling your way through. What’s back there?!?!? Well, stuff like this. My first love of Cardella: the Ruby Cab and here’s one at 11 and I have mixed hopes. Cork solid and perfect, though smelled…

Old Town Clovis, CA (No. 5)
The lumber mill burned in 1914 and was not rebuilt. The grounds are now occupied by Clark Intermediate School and the Clovis Rodeo Grounds. Clovis has a long history as a western town known for its slogan, "Clovis – A Way of Life". Since 1914, the Clovis Rodeo has been held on the last weekend in April, with a parade on Saturday morning, followed by the rodeo that afternoon and all day Sunday. Also contributing to the "Clovis way of life" are a number of street festivals, including Big Hat Days, ClovisFest, and the weekly Friday Night Farmer's Market held between mid-May and mid-September every year.
The last surviving structure built by the railroad is a depot now located near the site of the original Clovis Station. The earliest photos, from about 1910, show the depot situated in front of the Tarpey winery south of the intersection of Ashlan and Clovis Avenues. In 1999 it was moved to its present location in the town's center, at the northeast corner of Clovis Avenue and Fourth Street, and was restored by the Clovis Big Dry Creek Historical Society with financing, labor, and materials donated by local businesses and contractors.
Marcus Pollasky was a lawyer, born in Michigan, living in Chicago just before he came to Fresno. Throughout his life he tried to create several projects similar to the SJVRR, including projects in Eureka, California, Virginia, Michigan, and Oklahoma. Few were ever actually built. In 1896, Pollasky sued Collis P. Huntington in Los Angeles courts over the money he lost in Fresno, "while engaged in a joint venture with the defendant, Huntington". It has long been speculated that Pollasky was an agent of the Southern Pacific, and this "joint venture" suit seems to prove that point.
Many buildings in the town core have been renovated. Older storefronts on Clovis Avenue, the main street running through town, have been restored and new buildings have been designed with facades that resemble those found in the early 20th century. The historic center has been reborn as "Old Town Clovis".

Interesting. Fresno County Library is just...without a library app for now.
From the article linked:
"The San Joaquin Valley Library System alerted patrons on its social media stating that due to a disagreement between its primary library software provider and a third-party contractor, who they say provided components for the ValleyCat mobile app, the software is now offline.
"As a result, it says the developer is working to create its own app."
So now, that patrons are back to using the library website, at a time when more of us than ever are using mobile devices and tablets.
I wonder if we'll see more of this in the future.
