Sacramento

I grew up here. You develop a special bond with a place after 15 years, and a variety of emotions come up whenever I return. There are things to do here, yes, but none of it strikes me as much of a draw. Perhaps if you are into politics and California history, you will enjoy a trip to the state capital building, Sutter’s Fort, or Old Town. Other than that, there are only things to pass the time. If you are traveling any sort of distance to get here, you’d be better off heading into San Francisco.

Sacramento would be a very nifty place to visit. I only lived there a few years. I did not like living there because the cost of living is higher than I was used to here in Oklahoma and I had some bad experiences but that does not make it a bad place. I would like to go back and visit some time but I do not think I will ever want to live there again.

I’d say it’s worth visiting once but not much more than that.

because I am from LA, lived in Berkeley and wanted to find a city with a small town feel, but with a city sensability. There are loads of resturants, bars and parks, recreation and schools. Definatly a great place to live, and close to all Northern Cal attractions, SF, Yosemite and only a 5 hour drive to LA!

I lived and worked there for 17 years – I love it!

Sacramento is the second city in the world with the most trees. Paris is #1. This should give the reader a visual of how dense and lush this city is. I have a soft spot in my heart for Sacramento. Living in L.A, Sacramento, and San Francisco, Sacramento definately holds its own. The people are down to earth, outdoorsy, relaxed, kind, and easy going. Most of the activities involve eating, drinking, and conversing and swimming. The Sacramento Delta is a real treat for those who love to find unpopulated gems. I would recommend visiting the towne of Locke and going to Al de Wop’s bar where dollar bills are hanging from the ceiling. The trick is to throw it up with a tack and a silver dollar and to stick it up there.

For a state capitol, it’s quite boring. There are a lot of people from different cultures, but they aren’t friendly. There are not many places to go other than to see a sold out Kings game. There is not much culture, arts or theatre. Most residents are commuters or they have clusters of people they associate with and not much more. It’s a pit stop on your way to lovely San Francisco. Even the schools are boring. It just occured to me that it is a sleeper town. Narrow minds, lots of followers or wannabe’s but they don’t know what they want to be except a B version of Los Angeles.

Watch out for the one way streets! Every single time I’ve been in Sacramento in the last ten years I have gotten lost, and every time I go it’s different. Eek! I can’t stand it there.

i live downtown sac. it is very nice lots of religious sites as well as nice nights out on the town for u party goers.

It’s wonderful. I’ll always love it. :)
