ipon. I take issue with the resident who wrote comments about Ripon on May 22, 2018. This resident states they are from the Bay Area. They probably work their too.

places to go eat at. There are your major chain restaurants that everyone is familiar with in the city areas of Ripon, like Denny's or IHOP. I feel that Ripon is for people who doesn't mind living in a small town and not minding that there is not much diversity.
