Electrified
For those who thought raves were a thing of the past, think again. The
CN&R’s Stacey Kennelly dives into the electronic-dance-music scene in
Chico, which is experiencing a resurgence of late.
In other news: The City Council tackles a medi-pot ordinance; some school
lunches go green while others prefer processed chicken nuggets; and Arts
Devo comes up with his own acronyms to rival SOPO (south of the post
office--get it?!).
As always, thanks for reading.
Until next time,
Meredith J. Cooper, managing editor
