Chico Featured Business of the Week!

Longs Drug Store opens, Terrace Pharmacy closes.

November 4th, 2007 categories: Chico Featured Business of the Week!

There is a new kid on the block (East Avenue, anyway): Longs Drug Store.

New Longs Drug Store on East Avenue, Chico CA

Located on the corner of East Avenue and Marigold, it will be a convenient stop for the Chico neighborhoods that line either side of East. The new store features a drive through pick up window, beer and wine, and a selection of grocery items. Of course shoppers will still find the pharmaceutical items and general merchandise associated with Longs Drug.The opening of the new store was a bittersweet event for longtime local residents. The opening brought about the closing of Terrace Pharmacy, which began serving customers in 1957. Terrace also collected PG&E payments and served as a U.S. Postal Substation over the years. Fortunately, many of Terrace’s employees can be found at the new Longs Drug, and customers can still enjoy the tradition of home delivery service offered by Terrace.

Still looking for that perfect pumpkin in Chico, CA?

Little pumpkins stacked under a big tree at Book’s Farm in Chico, CA.

Better load up the family, and head to the Book Family Farm.Book’s 250 acre farm, only minutes outside of Chico on Hwy 99 in Durham, is the perfect place to spend a leisurely fall afternoon.We visited Book’s, and were immediately drawn to the Scarecrow Contest. Scarecrow girl: “It’s okay to be happy everyday!”

Scarecrow girl: “It’s okay to be happy everyday!”

Entries were made by many local schoolchildren, as well as businesses. The winner was awarded a $1000 prize! We especially liked reading the banners the younger children had on their scarecrows. The theme was “It’s okay….” We saw everything from “It’s okay to have big ears” to “It’s okay to like Superman!” There were definitely some scarecrows wearing their hearts on their sleeves! Other fun activities included a hay pyramid, horse-drawn wagon rides, corn maze, live music, and roping arena. There is also a small country store with plenty of local treats. The little ones will especially enjoy the duck pond and farm animals.

The Book Family Farm will be open to the public thru Wedneday, October 31st 2007 from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday-Saturday, and Sundays 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
