Fresno’s Big Shifts and Tragedies | Fresno News

Fresno and Clovis are buzzing with big changes—plans for a 27-acre commercial hub at Veterans Blvd and Riverside Dr, featuring shops, restaurants, a hotel, and an entertainment venue, plus Heirloom’s second location set to open in Clovis by late 2027. But not all news is bright: upscale restaurant Bulle shut down after just five months amid wage claims and staff departures, while Great Wall and Toshiko also closed. Tragically, 29-year-old mother of seven Alison Riley was found dead in a homicide on East Grove Ave. Meanwhile, convicted killer Cassandra Michael will serve her sentence at the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Center, facing 4-7 years—but state law may reduce her time, sparking backlash from her father and fueling debates over justice and accountability. Construction on the massive development remains years away, with Topgolf talks falling through, leaving the future of the site still up in the air.
