    I lived in Chico 1982 to 87. Moved there for school, then crashed and burned a year and a half in ( listen when they tell you double majoring in CS and EE is a hard road to walk.) But I loved the town, part times jobs were easy to find and the rent outside the student zone was cheap, so I stuck around.

      Chico CS major from 82 to 86. Did Masters work from 88-92 or so with stints working jobs in the Bay. Rode a pedicab from 87-92. Chico still has a special place in my heart, even though I haven't lived there in 30 years.

    Man, I’d never thought I’d miss Chico so much. But you guys did a great job at highlighting the things that made it special.
    Whether on purpose or by chance, I will be coming back to the place I once called home 😁

      If I move there is there anything I should know beforehand? Need to find a place I can afford and am looking everywhere. Also kind of don't have a car so, need to be able to walk to stuff and this city seems really nice but also heard bad things about the hospital which freaks me out.

  • @MericaBack2backWWChampions

    My hometown!!! I do miss it. I left in 2008 for Arizona and only been back twice, once for custody court and one visit when my father passed in 2010. I went to Parkview elementary, Chico High and then Fairview. I was troubled 😂 . I miss fishing deer creek and the Sac and feather river! My grandmother use to be neighbors with the mayor over by Citrus elementary. I miss the trees. Now I'm out in San Tan Valley AZ. I'm glad I left but it was such a big chapter in my life. I left for the middle East the same week 911 happened then return for a few short years and left again. This town is both a blessing and a curse depending on what you make of it. Subbed, thanks for sharing!!! You look really familiar too!!!

    Am thinking hard about moving there to raise a child - don't have much money and wanted to ask if there is anything I should be aware of. Never been there before lol, but I need a place I can afford that I don't need a car for. It's been a bit tough looking and am not from this side of the country so really don't know much about it.

    I wish it was as awesome as you make it seem... Moved to chico in 2017 for a job from Texas and I miss home everyday. Everyone here is so angry! No southern hospitality, or any hospitality for that matter. Everyone's gone crazy with the whole, you are what you pretend to be going against facts and biology. Oh, and then you've got homeless everywhere you look with no help on the horizon! Horrible, horrible place. My kids Jr high school, chico Jr, allowed and encouraged my daughter to change her gender and identity without even one phone call. People worry more about "feelings" and mental health over honest hard work ethic and family values! I really, really miss home. But what Chico does have going for it is how ridiculous they pay people to work. No matter the job, you get paid very well here. Whether you deserve it or not!

      When paradise burned in 2018 many moved to Chico to live in parking lots at first and then well, pg&e continued to burn the housing market in N CA and all over the state and many have had no where to go. Chico is warmer than foothill communities in winter.

      "family values" Worry about yourself my guy. People have a right to worry about their mental state, especially after the Camp Fire.
