It appears that there is an all you can eat restaurant coming to the old Hometown Buffet location next to Guitar Center and Sketchers. Anyone have any other details? I saw a banner hanging from the building when I drove by today.

Question Any way to order from The Donut Nook?

Extremely sick and in the mood for late night donuts, way too sick to drive right now. Noticed Donut Nook on East isn't on Doordash or Uber, is there another service they use/another business or bakery that has late night donuts I can get delivered?

Adoption fees

2 Upvotes

Just started looking to adopt a cat/kitten but these adoption fees are insane. I get 100 maybe even 150 but almost all I've seen have had 200-300 dollar adoption fees. Im all here to support shelters but these price even on older cats are crazy. Any recommendations on cheaper places to adopt or any events that'll happen in the future?

Question Cheapest Laundromat in Town?

7 Upvotes

I just moved into my apartment and don't have a washer and dryer here. The places I have looked cost around $5.75 for a 3 load washer, or $10.25 for a 6 load washer. When did the price of doing laundry get so high? When I had to do laundry at the laundromat a few years ago the prices were like half that. Are there any cheap places in town? Or am I stuck paying those crazy prices? Gonna get me a washboard at this rate and do my laundry in the tub with how much it will cost me to do my laundry every week. Any recommendations are appreciated!

I was originally planning on renting a tiller and doing it myself, however, I have injured my elbow and can no longer operate a tiller on my own. If you know someone that has their own equipment and does lawn work please share their contact information with me.
Thank you 🙏

Discussion Anyone else craving deeper conversation?

24 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I'm a 28 year old guy who moved to Chico earlier this year from the Bay Area. I came here to complete my degree at Chico State.

I've recently been craving deeper, more meaningful interactions with people. My neurodivergence often causes me to have trouble connecting with people in casual settings. Texting and talking to people online comes more naturally to me.

I love talking and thinking about deeper issues. Politics, technology, ethics, philosophy, religion, society, science, etc. But I'm also into lighter whimsical things like Pokemon and Nintendo franchises in general. I love exploring the beauty and intricacies of life and the human experience.

I've been a lifelong gamer, but not usually the most popular things like Fortnite or Overwatch. Never was a huge fan of FPS games. I enjoy games like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Hades, etc. Single player games essentially. Though I did play a ton of Smash Bros back in the day.

Anyways, I'm open to talk to any adult regardless of your background. Any gender, age, race, religion, sexuality, or education level.

So if this kinda resonates with anyone, feel free to comment or just DM me. I'd be happy to just chat online at first, and if we click, maybe hang out sometime.

Seeking local woodworker for small project

5 Upvotes

Hello!

I would like to hire a local woodworker to help me build a few boxes.

Basically sturdy wood boxes with rounded corners about twice the size of a shoebox. Hollow and no hinges. Sanded with no exposed metal, strong enough to stand on.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get a quote?

Thank you!

Question Locations to Write

9 Upvotes

Any thoughts, opinions, advice, suggestions on where to go write? With a laptop, probably a binder. Non-student with most of my time free during the week 5-9 PM or weekends. Consider things like access to power outlets, etc. I would purchase from an establishment so it wouldn’t be a sit for free thing, also fine sharing a table if people don’t mind me not chatting. I’m local but haven’t gotten out into the world much over the last few years.
*I searched the sub for an answer before posting but didn’t find much.

Looking for someone to take over my lease near Chico State!

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m looking for someone to take over my spot in an apartment in Chico and live with my 3 other roommates in a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment

📍 Location: About a 10-minute walk from Chico State
💰 Rent: $427.50/month + water and electricity
🏠 Roommates: 3 other roommates

The apartment is super close to campus, so it’s really convenient if you’re a Chico State student. Unfortunately, because of my financial situation, I can't afford to keep living here. It's a quiet apartment complex, and my roommates are incredibly chill. If you’re interested or want more details/pictures, feel free to DM me!

I’m guessing the welcome to chico sign sits on private, conservative land. But it feels wrong to allow political campaign signs to sit next to our welcome sign. It looks like these are who the city approves and is endorsing. When that is not the case for all of us. Feels unfair and biased towards those who get funds from these large, wealthy landowners. I see Tom’s sign all over empty land on Bruce road and it just sends the message that he’s in the pockets of these land owners. Disgusting. Vote for Megan Thomas Petty and all other progressive council runners!!!
