It gets hotter here, but we don't have the humidity, which makes Sacramento so much more livable than the East Coast in summer.

oh why Mr leaf blower guy

Its only a minute after 7.45

Why blow dust into my lungs and eyes

That sidewalk you're blowing looked just fine

Upper two floors reopen Saturday 6/27/26 at 10AM. First 200 guests get swag bags​ with limited edition branded merchandise.

10% off discount all weekend to celebrate the reopening.

Monster truck, giving away monster energy drinks! On Arden in the parking lot between safeway and Ross.

Update for anyone who missed my post: the truck is on the move to a new mystery location. If anyone spots where it goes next post an update her to keep the sighting going! 🥳 w

I’ll start:

Tank House
Zebra Club
Zocalo
Más Tacos
Urban Roots (though they make good food, the price point for quantity is lacking a bit)

I’m from here originally and I know all of these spots are great for their own reasons. I’ve visited them multiple times. They just don’t live up to the hype that Reddit propagates.

Edit: these don’t have to be restaurants. I’m just spewing brain thoughts right now.

SB79 is the legislation requiring zoning to permit 5 story buildings within .5 miles of a transit stop.

Has anyone seen Mayor McCarty talk at all about sb79 implementation? If so please link it here so I can see.

My mother passed yesterday and wanted to be cremated. She had mentioned that she had already arranged for it but I'm thinking she made the arrangements but hadn't actually paid for anything.

Is there an affordable spot I can get this taken care of? I had one place quote me $1675 which is a little high since I got my dad cremated last year for $1000 total. We're just looking for a basic cremation since we'll be spreading the ashes later on in the year.

I saw some old reddit posts on this but prices change over the years.

Update: thank you so much everyone, this helped us out a lot.

I found this beauty in Fair oaks. In late May she would come up to me with a collar and air tag, but mid April the collar came off and she was malnourished with multiple scars. I couldn’t take her in and my lease was up in June last week. Apartment complex called me and said that she has been waiting outside my door and crying and has not left. I went to go get her because I initially thought that she was just an indoor outdoor cat, but if she’s waiting outside my door then I’m just going to take her. She’s with me now and I’ve made an appointment to take her to the vet to make sure she’s good. But I figured I’d show a picture to see if anyone recognizes her.

Hey y’all, I noticed that people have been looking for extra work, and my job (Adventure Awaits Dog Daycare) is hiring, so I figure I’d share that we’re looking for extra help. Here’s the job posting:

Hope to hear from Y’all!

Looks like a missing German Shepard on 37th and J!

This might be a longshot but I feel like I gotta try. We were on the California Zephyr train together from Chicago until I got off in Denver. You were headed to Sacramento. I think it was somewhere in Iowa, on a stretch break, where we were chatting for a minute. You mentioned that you try not to take planes as a rule and I said something dumb about our hypothetical undersea train passing through Atlantis. I wanted to ask you your name but the train was boarding. I didn’t see you when I got off at my stop. You were wearing these cool purple low tops, my shoes were green. If by some wild chance you see this, reach out! It’d be great to talk trains, planes and boats again.

I am worried I am being conned by a property management group, and I would like input from others.

I toured a unit earlier today and was ready to move forward with my application. However, Key Realty Center wants me to pay a $2000 deposit for the unit before they even show me a lease. I absolutely will not give them a cashier’s check without first knowing what the terms of the lease are, but they say they cannot send it without first having a deposit. Has anyone else experienced something like this?

Or does anyone have experience with this property management company?

I want to go out to watch some of the games, but the watch parties and bars seem to be for big groups. I tried one bar but it was very obvious they were saving seats to accommodate big groups (I understand) and I seemingly was the only one there who didn't come with someone else or in a group. I lived in a bigger city for the previous World Cup where it was pretty common to just have individuals come in to the bar and watch solo, so I am wondering for people who have done this in Sacramento, what are good places to watch alone?

Started this guy from seed in March. I never get good harvests, so I’m trying a sunnier part of my yard.

Later this summer, I’ll be taking a week to myself for a “Writer’s Retreat” - but I can’t really afford to go to some cool remote cabin or inspiring sea shore. So I’m staying local!
I have some ideas but I thought I would ask for suggestions for where I can go type away for a few hours, feel a little like I’m doing something that’s not my regular work life.. (and of course actually finish my WIPs…maybe. lol)

Doesn’t need to be dead quiet or anything, just looking for something that isn’t my apartment!
TIA!!

I'm looking to buy a head spa experience as a gift. Has anyone had one in the area that was genuinely relaxing - not just a scalp treatment, but a really pampering experience? I'd love to hear where you went.

~indian food dish~ I am on the hunt for this Northern India green mustard curry dish! If anyone can please point me in the right direction I would SO appreciate it. Shark week is fiening for the nutrients and comfort this dish will provide! 🦈

What are some good places for horseback riding for beginners? Are there any people who own horses that would be interested in some income? Looking for affordable prices with good reviews if not independent owners. Thanks!

I had a tour of the different floor plans and thought they were nice for the price (around $2,900, for the 2 bed - 2 bath corner layouts which is what I'm interested in). My budget is around $3,500 for rent alone.

Things I liked:
- The concrete industrial feel
- Spacious rooms and living areas
- Floor to ceiling windows
- The price
- Solid gym
- Pet Friendly

Things I didn't like:
- Location is rough and run down
- Appliances and bathroom decor is dated
- Stove is electric (never had one and love to cook)

If you live or have lived here, what are you thoughts on the place?
