BY NICK POWELL
Trips to the doctor’s office got a whole lot better six months ago, with the opening of Chulo’s Café and Cantina, an oasis of flavor tucked behind the specialists’ offices at Posada Medical Center across from Twin Cities Hospital. Surgeons are no longer the only miracle workers in the area, because the chefs at this restaurant put together impossibly delicious dishes on a regular basis.

 Local plant nursery offers more than flowers and fruit trees
By Nick Powell
Just across the Salinas River on a quiet country road, there's a farm with roots that run much deeper than the small plants and saplings that grow there. The Finley Family Nursery is a huge farm that specializes in offering native plants that thrive in the north county, an environment plagued with invading deer, blazing heat, and bursts of rain followed by frequent droughts. The ranch is owned by Bob and Pam Finley, but a newer generation is taking care of business.
