Days past

As you come north on the bike path that's south of Miller Park, you'll see two railroad tracks on your right. That's what they use for the train rides that leave out of Old Sacramento. About a third of a mile below Miller, a third track diverges (continue reading)

Symbols & Sigils

As I zip around Sacramento via various modes of transportation, I see a cryptic sign all over the place. Since my last post on the railroad spur brought such a wealth of information, I'd like to tap the collective knowledge of Sacramentans once (continue reading)

What do you think?

I picked up a recent copy of the newer format of the Sacramento News and Review--and I am loving the new style! I wonder if it's a one-timer, special issue...or if it is a sign of things to come. (Note to SN&R--I LOVE it, keep it!) It's a (continue reading)

Now that's some serious accuracy

When C.C. Myers was working his magic last week on the northbound lanes of I-5 (and I gotta think News 10 was getting some kickbacks from him--it's been a long time since I've seen coverage that fawning...) I ambled over to the O Street overpass.  (continue reading)

Too many dilemmas

If I drive my car to work, I'm putting unnecessary ozone into the air and shortening my life. If I ride my bike to work, I'm sucking excess PM2.5 into my lungs and shortening my life. If I turn on the A/C, I'm using extra power from the grid and (continue reading)

I-5, I loved you when...

The news is out. The I-5 honeymoon is over. This morning, the commute was back to normal (ie packed) on I-5 Northbound into the city. This evening, the wonderful respite from bumper-to-bumper Southbound is alas, also gone. I particularly (continue reading)

Overdue Review: Tuli Bistro

 Or is it Bistro Tuli? Eh, whatever. It's tasty. Maybe not as fall-all-over-yourselves-in-a-rush-to-get-there tasty, but tasty.  Full disclosure - it's taken me a month - er, okay, nearly two months - to get the photos uploaded and get around (continue reading)
