All the people and places that make Chico great

READERS’ PICKS 2019

When it comes to making a

place a home, it takes more than a wide variety of businesses and services—it also takes heart. So, in the spirit of community, we celebrate all of the volunteers, personalities, teachers and soulful gathering places that really make Chico a wonderful place to live.
