We just visited and interviewed Chef Marshall Bishop, owner of "Cafe Sol"

The menu not only offers unique foods, Marshall only cooks with fresh seasonal foods from Local Organic Farmers, how cutting edge is that!

As a follow-up to the classic musical Oklahoma, Playhouse Merced pushes the envelope with a boldly provocative production of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. The story is set during an overblown and ostentatious wedding reception in Knoxville, TN, where five reluctant, identically clad bridesmaids hide out in an upstairs bedroom – each with her own reason to avoid the proceedings below. From Alan Ball, writer of hit television series Six Feet Under, this wickedly funny comedy tackles contemporary women’s issues with a distinctive blend of irreverence and poignancy.

It looks like plans for Riverside Motorsports Park in Merced County are a go after six years of planning. The gates could open within the next 18 months.
