I don’t want to chat up my home town too much because we really do not need even more people moving here. BUT, there is plenty of culture here. We have a ton of theatres, a ballet, opera, philharmonic, and a smaller symphony. We have a lot of live music and deep musical roots. We have award winning fine artists, a very nice museum, and several fine art galleries.

I hear tons of people who move here from elsewhere say that Sacramentans are not friendly. While most natives do not go out of their way to strike up a conversation, if you say “hi” first we are a very friendly and open sort. Some of us (well, natives anyway) can be irritated by all the SF & LA people moving here because it’s cheaper, driving up the cost of housing, then badmouthing it.
