LateUpdate.com Weekly News

Dear Fresno Arts Council,

Thanks for subscribing to LateUpdate.com's weekly newsletter. Last week, during our coverage of the city's proposed design for the Fulton Mall, we took the opportunity to show case a new feature that
we have just launched: a wiki for Fresno! It can be found by visiting http://creating.lateupdate.com.

A wiki is a Web site that is designed to be edited by anyone who visits the site. (You already may be familiar with the largest wiki in the world, Wikipedia.) While there are options for the
administrator to restrict editing permissions, we at LateUpdate.com are here to encourage Fresno to add to the knowledge base of Fresno facts and history. 

We also have made another important decision for our readers -- we now offer our classified ads ( http://lateupdate.com/classifieds ) for free! And please remember that our classified ads have the
opportunity appear on the front page just below the top stories box. 

Thanks again and enjoy a free and independent news source dedicated to Fresno.

Adrian Rodriguez, publisher

CITY FLOATS FOUNTAIN IDEA FOR DOWNTOWN
 ( http://lateupdate.com/lifestyle/city-floats-fountain-idea-for-downtown.php )
The City of Fresno unveiled a very preliminary idea at City Hall last night for downtown Fresno that would include water fountains at various intersections and an installation that would have
streaming jets of jumping water on display throughout the historic Fulton Mall ( http://creating.lateupdate.com/index.php?n=Main.FultonMall ).


An interactive map showing the concept as outlined by the city can be found in this story.

"CALL OF THE ENTREPRENEUR" SCREENED IN CLOVIS TUESDAY
 ( http://lateupdate.com/business/-call-of-the-entrepreneur-screened-in-clovis-tuesday.php )The 50-minute movie "Call of the Entrepreneur" was screened last night in Clovis, a city looking to reshape
itself as the Central Valley's mecca for big ideas in small packages.
The film features three entrepreneurs who have become successful with new ventures -- in their cases financially successful, but successful in overcoming great skepticism and hardship, which they say
is more valuable than money.
The film, which started shortly after 7 p.m. at the Clovis Memorial Building, was then followed by a panel discussion from four people who have either experienced the ups and downs of starting a
business or are actively engaged in helping new businesses get a foothold in the local market. Ladonna Snow of Clovis-based Snowflake Designs, Case Lawrence, CEO of Clovis-based CargoBay, Craig
Scharton, CEO of the Central Valley Business Incubator in Fresno, and Tim Stearns, director of the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at Fresno State, were on-hand to field questions
from the audience.

PEPPER SPRAY INCIDENT ADDS SCRUTINY BY FIRE DEPARTMENT

An incident last week at The Exit, a music venue in central Fresno, has gotten the attention of the fire department about future events at the venue, and the capacity of the building.


Last Wednesday during a live show by Scary Kids Scaring Kids was broken up early after pepper spray was released by a security guard in the main room. A few minutes earlier, the fire department had
visited the building to do a night inspection and found that the room had too many people in it.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: THINK OUTSIDE THE PEEL AT PUPUSODROMO LAURITA
Bananas: slice them on your cereal in the mornings, eat them on ice cream for dessert. What more is there to know? Well, last Thursday I ducked into a brand new El Salvadorean joint post-Art Hop and
learned to "think outside of the peel," if you will. At Pupusodromo Laurita, the banana gets a shot at the spotlight: center stage on your dinner plate.
