As a mountain resident, I am so very appreciative of the news from the Mariposa Gazette. In these…read moretimes when regional papers are going 'under' in a brisk fashion, or they have become so thin it feels like the weekly advertiser (the Fresno Bee is unfortunately, a quick read), it is a delight to have a weekly newspaper -- with two sections!! -- that is full of local news -- and even includes a section on the Oakhurst area, part of Madera County. Thanks for providing an important source of 'what's happening' in Mariposa County and part of Madera County -- and for sharing a vibrant "letters to the editors" section for varying points of view.

An older man got out from the van and as I was walking by I said "Good morning!" In a cheerful way and he just looked back at me and did not reply anything.

Because the drawings were so popular, Steve stayed 2 hours longer than we originally contracted for and did so gladly! I highly recommend Steve for any of your party plans.

I have been to Barnes & Noble's before previous cities, but not here in Fresno County. I decided to make a pitstop here because my family wanted some calendars for the house and what they had in other stores is very limited selection and my family was very specific on what they wanted. As soon as I enter, the store is books everywhere everything was clean product place in and the sales clerk helped me right away which I appreciated. I was just browsing in the calendar section which they have a lot of and luckily I found somebody put it in the wrong spot. I found the last K-pop demon on it calendar for 2026. That was on my families list of things they wanted. There was other calendars as well Harry Potter, Star Wars comics Snoopy you name it they had it. You should definitely check out Barnes & Noble's and River Park. If you have not already, I will be returning because I need more books in calendars. The price was right. Check out the photos attached to this review.

It's always friendly and helpful. The selection for psychology and philosophy is the BEST, better than a handful of libraries I've experienced in Fresno. The value is the BEST in town as well. I always spend $5.50-7 for a book. This is legit my favorite place! The most time I spent here was 3 hours! I love the square, walk around, upstairs- the showcase, the furniture & few chairs to read before purchasing. I love the atmosphere of this place. I will forever patronize here, as long as I'm in town or visiting.
