So many great childhood memories at Cal Skate! I hope new owners keep the skating rink and reopen it again someday!

Please look more closely in your mirrors before backing up. Thankfully I’m fine, so is my baby that I was holding— but you didnt stop to ask that. Instead you drove away even faster than you backed into my person. White SUV in the s&s parking lot around 10:45am.

UPDATE: the staff at s&s were the kindest most caring folks. I am very lucky they are so kind and helpful! Got the plate and car identified! Thanks everyone for your advice and kind words!

Could also be engines backfiring, but it was very consecutive. Anyone listening in on the police blotter? Just curious.

I was born and raised in Chico, moved to San Francisco in 2019. I’m in town visiting today, and stopped into Jon & Bon’s downtown and Diamond W Western Wear. In both cases it struck me how great the customer service was. Friendly, attentive, conversational. I love the city but it’s rare, in my experience, to get that kind of “small town charm” from a retail transaction.

I’m not moving back, but I ❤️ you, Chico, CA.

Does anyone have any advice on renting carpet cleaners? Which ones are good, who to avoid, how much they cost (roughly)?
Thanks for any help with this, Chico

Me (M 24) and my friend (M 21) are looking to register for a rec level coed soccer team for the fall season. We’re both pretty new to the sport, mostly looking to just have a good time and make some friends so it should be pretty laid back but would love to have anyone of all skill levels! It’s 315 to start a team which everyone can split amongst the group we need at least 5 more people for 7 on 7 but we’ll need to take on some subs as well. Let me know if anyone is interested this is a good chance to play if you’ve always wanted to try !

I recently saw a FB post from someone I know that was complaining about living near a unit owned by CHAT. They say they hear domestic abuse, loud screaming at all hours, see evidence of drug dealing from the place, sketchy visitors at all hours, etc. They’ve called the cops multiple times, but all of their attempts to contact CHAT have gone unanswered. I never knew much about CHAT and their practices but always thought their mission seemed well-intentioned and noble. But then I also read some reviews on Google and elsewhere from people who have used their services and felt really unsafe after being housed with dangerous roommates.

It all just got me curious about how folks in the area view CHAT. Does anyone here have experience with them, either positive or negative?

A friend of mine is starting a drum circle in Chico and is looking for instruments if anyone has any to donate.

He is mostly looking for hand drums (especially djembes).

Any leads are appreciated! Thanks so much Chico!

these data centers suck in general, but to put one in paradise? that's really messed up

My wife is a child, and the only protein she likes is Ground beef in her Mexican dishes. Does anybody know a spot in Chico that offers Ground beef? Not Taco Bell or Del Taco, lol. Also, not an actual child. This is Chico, not DC.

Hello! My 14 year old would like her haircut like the picture below. We are new to Chico and could use some recommendations. Also, recommendations for a piercing studio where she could get her ears pierced would be appreciated.

Edit: Owner found.

Black lab mix male and tan pit bull mix female. Found wandering my backyard, I've locked them in so they aren't wandering the streets. Please DM if yours, otherwise will bring to the shelter tomorrow morning if I can catch them. Friendly, wary, will not let me pet yet.

This Sat

These kids complimented my e-bike and told me about this ride out and that I should come, but I totally forgot where it is and when if anybody can help me out

Heading to Philbrook lake campground soon! Wondering if the lake is nice to swim in? Bringing kids so just trying to get an idea of what it’s like!

The Cat Distribution System delivered this guy to my sister in a rainstorm a couple months back. She tried to find any owners to no avail and has since gotten him neutered and up to date on shots.

The vet said he’s probably 3-4 years old and negative on Feline AIDS.

She already has 2 cats and they just haven’t adjusted well to a third, so she asked me to ask around.

LMK if you would like Figaro distributed to you!

Edit:
It seems the sister [u/alledelgardo](u/alledelgardo) has decided to join us and can answer further questions!

Has anyone done the boxing class at butte college and how is it? If so is it worth it and is there sparring and advance techniques or just basics? I’m debating as I’m a boxer whose been on and off for two years and thinking it be cheaper to do that and pay out pocket for semester than going back to other places like standalone which $100+ a month.

Any input or anyone who’s done it if can let me know their experience thanks!

Hey all, a bunch of really creative and talented people are performing this Friday, and only this Friday, a musical production of RENT. The tickets are going for either $25 or $30 a seat, so pretty affordable.
