You want to know who Bad Ted spars with when he's in Oakdale? These guys. We've been rolling through this gym for years and the owner runs a legit operation, no fluff, no ego, just real training. If you're in Stanislaus County and serious about getting on the mat, this is your spot.

The name alone had Bad Ted at hello. When we're working Modesto, this is where we get our rounds in. The owner knows what real dedication looks like, built something from the ground up, and keeps it street-level authentic. Plus with a name like Bad to the Bonz, how could we not claim them.

Right across from the courthouse, which means they've been fueling our morning runs longer than we can count. The owners are genuinely good people, the coffee is real, and honestly starting a long day in the legal system without a Pure Grind cup feels wrong at this point. These are our people.

Shannon is part of the CityWide family and runs three solid Airbnb spots right in the heart of Downtown Modesto. The Route 66 Downtown Pet Friendly Little Home is sitting at 4.93 stars across 98 reviews. The Downtown MO's Boho Apartment Apt #2 is a perfect five. And Downtown Modesto's Boho Apartment #1 rounds it out. Clean, well-managed, real hospitality. Need somewhere to land while your people get out? Shannon's got you.

The owner of WestSide 3D is the kind of person who just helps people. Need a custom part? A prototype? A CAD design that nobody else will touch? He figures it out. 3D printing and CAD design done right, right here in Stanislaus County. We support local builders and problem-solvers, and this guy is both.
