Grange, Ella’s, OneSpeed, Paragary’s restaurants, Allora, Rick’s Dessert Diner to name just a few. Bacon and Butter opened a second location in East Sac. Take a drive through the fab 40s to see the amazing homes.

      I grew up in Sacramento during my childhood years. They missed Vic's ice cream parlor. I loved that place. I also missed the Florin Mall (from the early '80s), but I hear that's gone because it got rougher with gang activity. I was also there during the hostage incident at "The Good Guys." A friend of mine knew of some of the guys with the guns. They went to Valley Hi High School near Consumenes College. I might add that I lived there when Captain Mitch had his show to introduce the cartoons. I was one of the guest and got a cool purple TV jacket that I still have. I liked that show.

      Yeah Sac has a lot of hidden charm it has the feel of an old fashioned city and a lot of natural beauty. I lived in LA and SF Valley and if you like going to sporting events and the beach amusement parks etc then SoCal got it beat but but for the smoothness of life then Sac is the place. Too bad they weren't an hour away from each other. I live in Palmdale now and compared to Sac it defines boring. But it's a half hour roll into LA which makes it tolerable.

    I lived in the Sacramento area for 43 years before I left for Phoenix, exactly 4 years and 4 hours ago as of this typing...I moved to the Sacramento area from the Bay Area on May 10th, 1973 and left July 22nd 2015 at approximately 6pm...
    With all those years there, I can tell you my favorite places and things about Sacramento.
    The California State Fair at Cal Expo is a must see. One of the best fairs in the nation.
    The Placer County Fair in Roseville and the Gold Country Fair in Auburn are also favorites of mine.
    Other fun events that I like...Fireworks on July 3rd in Old Sac is really fun. Just about any festival in Old Sac is always a blast, like the now defunct Jazz Jubilee and the Asian Food Festival. I'm not exactly sure what it's called anymore.
    Plus there is another fireworks show on New Years Eve.
    The Rivercats are fun to watch in West Sac. The soccer team plays at Cal Expo too...
    I love free outdoor concerts like the ones at the Folsom Amphitheater, Carmichael Park and lots of others.
    I spent a lot of time on the American River Bike Trail exercising.
    The aquatic center on the American River near Hazel is a great place to visit.
    Rafting the American River is also a blast during the summer.
    Discovery Park is also a great place to go swimming on the Sacramento and American River confluence.
    Old Town Folsom is also a lot of fun. Lots of old time shops. Old Town Fair Oaks is fun, but just a little smaller than Old Town Folsom.
    As for restaurants? A few of my favorites:
    My favorite burger places are Burgers and Brews off R Street Downtown Sacramento, in West Sac, and in Davis. My favorite is the Burgers and Brews in Davis. It is in an old house right on the sidewalk which they have tables on.
    I also love Crickets diner on Auburn Blvd near College Oak just north of town. Excellent breakfasts!
    One of my favorite dinner places in West Sac is called Vinces. Good steak!
    Another Folsom place is called Sutter Street Cafe. The wife loves it.
    I also love the Elk Grove Western Festival on the first weekend in May and Pow Wow Days in Orangevale.
    I also love the 4th of July fireworks show at the Cal Expo race track. Free admission and always a great show.
    The best Christmas Lights neighborhoods were Dove Ct in Orangevale, the lights at the Fabulous 40's streets in east Sac, and my all time favorite light show at the Rocklin neighborhoods near Pebblecreek Rd. That is the best Christmas light show in the whole country, bar none.
    Sacramento is a great place to live, but the people in charge made it way too expensive for me. I'm am glad I left.

Las Vegas is close enough for a days drive, Yosemite a national treasure to get away .... its really a lovely place and close by Elk Grove for that small home town feel.

Sure it has its problems but that’s true of anywhere. It’s a wonderful place to raise a family. And it’s so close to many amazing places. Californians should have more pride in their state it’s a wonderland.

Great outdoor activities at the lakes or rivers, great food culture with dozen and dozens of breweries and access to lovely wineries, art galleries, local artists, so many fun small music venues, meetup groups, museums, and oh yeah...did I say food!?

The Borracho Burger is also awesome and the fish n chips are fantastic too! Their seasonal soups are delicious too, the corn chowder and pumpkin soup are so tasty and hit the spot when it's cool outside! Great...now I'm hungry! 2020 was the 1st time in 10 years that I didn't eat there for my bday... I'm praying they can reopen soon!

      Me too and the only time Sac is fun is when you're a kid. Fairy Tale Town, Train museum, and other attractions are stuff for kids. When your in your early 20s and doing ecstacy at the clubs it is mildly fun. But after that move to a real city (SF or LA or somewhere outside the state) where's there's attractions for adults.
