New Drive Through Art Gallery Opens Downtown

Not to be outdone by the 24 Hour Drive By Gallery on 7th Street, the Chico Paper Company opened Chico's first drive through art gallery today. The downtown opening included a parade consisting of Chico police and fire department officials.

About 200 people showed up to see the first customer drive through. The art must have been good because the car shown above surveyed the art for close to an hour, before pulling out. A bystander who would only identify herself as "Hip-Hop Shelly" said "I knew something big was going on, I was in the Rice Bowl and the owners ran outside leaving everything unattended. They're normally very watchful of their customers!"
In an unrelated story, the regular Saturday Chess tournament went off without a hitch. All of the additional crowds drawn by the exciting drive through art gallery just added to the enthusiasm for the tournament.

The competitors in the Saturday Chess Tournament are shown below.

Nobody was harmed during the creation of this parody of an actual traffic incident
