As great as our little college town of Chico is, its proximity to the mountains, the coast, and the "city" makes it easy to do a day or weekend trip. San Francisco is just 3 hours away, and Sacramento just 1 1/2 hours.
On a recent trip to Sacramento I strolled around the State Capitol area and took a few photos (click here and then on View Album to see the photos on a Shutterfly album). So many cool shops and restaurants! Had great sushi at Momiji (14th & G St.). This past year friends and I got season tickets to the "Broadway" series at the Sacramento Community Theater (1301 L St.). The offering included "The Color Purple," "Avenue Q," "Frost-Nixon," and "Lion King." I have to say, I was very impressed with these traveling shows! The upcoming season (Sept. 30, 2009 - May 30, 2010) includes Legally Blonde, Spring Awakening, Xanadu. Little House on the Prairie, and A Chorus Line.
I definitely attend and appreciate local Chico theater, including entertainment at CSUC as well as The Blue Room, Chico Cabaret and Chico Community Theater. But it's also fun to get out of town once in a while and enjoy the diversity Northern California has to offer!
