Sounds like someone is reopening a new restaurant to be called "Wonderland Chinese restaurant" in the old Imperial Gourmet building. It'll be nice to have Chinese food again in Bishop, as long as it's good. We'll keep our fingers crossed...

Well, you know it's not a secret for those of us who live here! Did you know that the town motto "Small city with a big backyard" was written by former Round Valley Elementary Superintendent Dan Moore? He and his family moved to Tracy, and he's now the Superintendent at Linden Unified school district.

Yikes. Almost 100lbs of gear each, no water filtration, and more. Please take more care out there, hikers!

The school bonds in Bishop, Independence, and Lone Pine all passed. Steve Elia and Karen Keehn prevailed on the BUSD school board.

For three open seats on the Bishop City Council, incumbents Karren Kong and Mayor Jose Garcia are leading, each with over 500 votes. Dennis Freundt appears poised to take the third seat, having earned 488 votes.

In state-level decisions, several key measures passed:

  • Amendment 3 was approved, enshrining the right to same-sex marriage in California’s constitution.

  • Proposition 35 was passed, making permanent a health care tax to fund Medi-Cal.

  • Proposition 36 also passed, increasing penalties for certain theft and drug-related crimes, with a focus on fentanyl trafficking and abuse.

It's actually a pretty even-handed look at Inyo County's changing demographics.

It's the 395/Gill Station Road intersection (Coso Junction, where the rest area and the Travel Center is).
