Issue: February 05, 2015
Good morning!
Are you in the mood for love? Well, we are. We're getting a head start
on Valentine's Day with our annual Love, Sex, Marriage issue. This time
around, we take a look at how technology has changed the way we date,
the way we meet people and even the way we break up.
In other news: A controversial--but historical--photo of the KKK in
Chico sparks a heated debate on Facebook; the Work Training Center seeks
a crosswalk between buildings along busy (and dangerous) Fair Street;
mushrooms make great natural dyes; and Arts Devo waxes on about Keep
Chico Weird.
Until next week,
Meredith J. Graham, associate editor
