Throughout the ages, the spring season has been seen as a time of rebirth and revitalization. In our nook of Northern California, that energy is visible throughout nature nearly everywhere we look. From the almond blossoms and greening of its trees to the blooming of wildflowers, there are plenty of ways to be reminded that spring has certainly sprung.

Downtown Chico is seeing a bit of a spring season itself. With a recent infusion of funds, the Downtown Chico Business Association (DCBA) and various downtown entities are finally reinvigorated with the necessary resources to breathe new energy into Chico's most central hub for commerce. Alongside a group of new and relocated businesses that have opened in the last year—Sofi'z, Mas Vida, Lili's Brazilian Bistro, Magnolia Gift & Garden, The Roost Café, Winchester Goose, Oshio, D'Emilio's, Donzo Clothing, Caitlin's Closet, etc.—there's truly a feeling of novelty in Downtown Chico. What's more—there are a number of new businesses slated to open in 2023 that will almost undoubtedly increase foot traffic and provide more reasons to visit the downtown area. With that in mind, we are excited to highlight some of these changes in our secondary feature piece this month which sits perfectly next to our cover story on the Hotel Diamond, arguably the most dramatic and extensive revitalization project of them all. The final legacy project of one of Chico's greatest philanthropists, Wayne Cook, the Hotel Diamond renovation torch has been taken up by his daughter Alisa Cook-Scott, and her plans for it are simply fantastic. We couldn't be more excited to share them with all of you.

We hope you take this season of rebirth and revitalization to re-energize yourself as well! There are plenty of ways to do just that, and you'll find many of them right here in our March issue.
