But this is Chico, too
The latest flowering of an obsession to write about a city that immediately ensorceled a wayfarer who was looking for a home.

Roots
A neighborhood coffeehouse
Country roads
New hub sits where old hub was
Good cookie-cutter houses
An echo of the past
What would Annie Bidwell do?
Involved in an eating scene
Thick as a brick
Then and now
Don't It Make You Want to Go Home
Kid-friendly
A good block for buildings
Block has one architectural gem
Wonders in the night
Again and again and again
Everyone know it's windy
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Boulevard bedlam
Papa John?
Vanished
Losing farmland
Saving farmland
Working, playing, shopping on the edge
A single wart mars beautiful block
Desperately seeking beauty
An island neighborhood
Invasion of the towerlets
City of gold
New and old California
Butte's neighbor to the west
Rehearsing for the organ recital
Looking good
sing
Will newspapers still be called newspapers?
A fondness for fronds
Gains and losses
Remembering what we've lost
High and low
Out with the old
Lucky Man
Intentional communities
The three lives of Bidwell Mansion
Indisputably edible
Wine country's wide reach
I remember when
How much do we care about the El Rey?
If everybody had an ocean
Way back when
Green
That's our lot in life
Presto! Trees
In the thick of it
Eternal rest
Not just businesses
Hairy, high and low
Corner buildings: the crowning glory
Hits before your mother was born
The golden age of transportation
Antidotes for desk jobs
The road to madness
Time to vamoose
Boys will be girls and girls will be boys
Undone
Johnny-on-the-spot
Oops!
A crenelated parapet
An early preservation success story
The next Carmel
What's with the name on the stone?
It's yesterday once more
Good and bad news
A stroll past the Piggly Wiggly corner
The house is a museum
Tall purple
Shifting frontiers
Nice to look at — from the outside
People's plaza
Go with the flow
Small is beautiful
Seekers
The old, the new, the boarded-up
Just about normal
Bright lights, small city
A new look for an old street
Cozy corners
Juicy stuff
Grocery shopping choices
Almond blossoms: a salve for the spirit
So gimme money (That's what I want)
Vortexes of energy
John Ash on Raymond Carver
Reflections on the counterculture
And now ... the rest of the (half) block
Gonna walk around the (half) block
Corner next to park is taking shape
And now ... the rest of the block
Gonna walk around the block
Numbers!
What the world needs now is Liz, sweet Liz
Along the upper Esplanade
Numbers
Brrr!
Preventing suicide
Parts of Chico are funky — and that's good
The wilderness that vanished
The great exception
My scenery is better than your's
Trapped
Call me Mr. Blue
Days of future passed
And now ... the rest of the blog
Another walk around the block
Time to mortify the flesh
Less than wonderful
To everything, there is a season
And now ... the rest of the block
Gonna walk around the block
Billions and billions
The energy to get things done
For a better neighborhood
No more bidding wars
Privacy and the WC
Many voices, one sound
The things that count
McMansion Park?
Families
Too much tampering
Travels in the land of the rich
Polarization in perpetuity
What would John and Annie think?
Spirits in the material world
Flags are flying
All salute the orange, red and brown
Everyone's allowed to hang out
Another day in the (pricey) neighborhood
Kudos to the grammarians
Future shock
Just trying to keep our customers satisifed — part 2
The little coffeehouse next to Little Chico Creek
Be quiet, this is the library
Tower is closing — and that's all right by me
Just right for the neighborhood
The past could be lost, building by building
Housing prices: more good news
Suburbs aren't what they used to be
Obstructions are everywhere
Growth may correlate with increases in ethnic diversity
Growth is coming; will it ever reach Chico?
The built environment: variations on a theme
Neighborliness is overrated
Anonymity feels good
It feels good to whine about the heat
A whole lot of suffering going on
Revenue from rooms
Ogle Chico with Google Earth
How the redwoods came to the park
Liking the locals
Trader Joe's nifty niche
A nice chunk of parkland
The Starbucks galaxy
Exterminating pieces of our history
Puttin' on the Ritz
Just trying to keep our customers satisfied
Labels
One of those Chico moments
Skirmishes over density are inevitable
Housing prices: Time for a correction
Wal-Mart: Values matter as much as value
The new arrival
