My friend used to live there in Chico and I know it's a big party town for college kids right?

What do you do there?

It used to be a big party town, but hasn't been for many years. Back in the late 80's and early 90's, it was pretty wild, there were actually some riots downtown, etc. But then the city, the police, and the university cracked down hard. No alcohol is allowed on campus since then, there are a hundred cops on the street for Halloween and Pioneer Days (when the riots occurred) that make sure nothing happens, etc. So for the past 15 years or so, it really isn't much of a wild party town, though it still has a little bit of it.

Chico is also surrounded by many orchards and agricultural crops. I work for a company that removes orchards (when the trees become too old to produce as much, or if the farmer decides to change crops). The company chips the trees and takes them to the power plant where they are burned to produce electricity. I work in the office and handle accounts payable, data entry, and payroll.
