Issue: February 18, 2016
Morning, readers!
This week we bring to you our annual Business Issue, and this year we're
highlighting some of the folks behind the urban renaissance here in Chico,
including vinyl slingers, a vintage boutique owner and an old-school beard
trimmer.
In other news: The city tackles the issue of 24-hour public restrooms and
surveillance cameras along the bike path near campus; a punk-rock guru
comes to town to tell his story; and Arts Devo addresses the hipster
phenomena.
Have a great week!
