So the wife had a thing to attend here and being her designated driver, given the opportunity, I…read moredecided to see what this new building looks like and what all it offers. This is the Resources Building, with several state agencies located here. They have a big auditorium, a nice lobby, several bigger conference and smaller meeting rooms, tons of open space that communicates vastness, and the decor all throughout seems to be designed to bring nature or reminders of nature into this building. The rest of the building beyond the first 2 floors are not accessible to the public, and require badge access. I was impressed by their giant 20(?) foot display where they put up giant announcements and colorful digital posters. On the other side of that foyer/lobby, you'll find their dining area. They have 2 eateries, Buddha Bowls & Rolls and Jesse's Getaway Cafe. They also have a small convenience store but its hours are quite limited, but still nice to have one. All in all, very nice building, still looks and feels new, with tastefully designed facilities. Pro tip: don't buy from their vending machine in the cafeteria area. Chips are $2.75, candy bars $3.10, and soda cans $4.75 each. Yikes. At those prices, might as well get a meal or sandwich and drinks at the 2 food vendors on site.

I'm surprised this building at 715 P St has been built and opened about 4 years now, and there's no…read moreYelp reviews yet. So this is the new Resources Building, which officially opened in Fall 2021, when most everyone was still probably trying to stay home or not in-person for work due to the pandemic. The main State agency here is the California Natural Resources Agency. But this building also houses the following 11 agencies that's related to CNRA. Specifically, you'll find: California Energy Commission California Water Commission Delta Stewardship Council Department of Conservation Department of Fish & Wildlife Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) Department of Parks & Recreation Department of Water Resources California Fish and Game Commission Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety Wildlife Conservation Board As for the building itself, first off, this is an ECOFRIENDLY building, and is in fact a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) LEED Platinum Certified Building, which means there are a lot of environmental friendly and conservation design elements and measures thoughtfully put into this building. All the lighting and other resource usage devices and mechanisms have been considered carefully to minimize usage and maximize energy saving. Secondly, there are ART works and California nature themes throughout the building with lots of beautiful photos and digital art pieces of scenes from California's coastline, beaches, forests, mountains, and other natural wonders, some in more realistic representations, and others in more abstract and interpretative modes. There are also several sculptures throughout and surrounding the building, with the Giant Sequoia at the entrance being the most famous and prominent one, made by artist John Grade. Other artists represented include Rachel Sussman, Ishi Glinsky, Michael van Straaten, Angelo Rosales, Chris Jordan, Chris Kallmyer, Danski Tang & Josh Shaffner, Elizabeth Leister, Gabe BC, Heidi Duckler Dance, Jessica Wimbley & Chris Christion, Kevin Cooley, Maru Garcia & Hye Min Cho & Maura Palacios Mejia, RIGER, Sarah Rara, Gioia Fonda, and HYBYCOZO. Overall, this building is pretty impressive, with its mirrored windows exterior skyscaping into the clouds and its interior of natural lights and warm color themes that echo the nature it's trying to convey from the outside. There are many meeting rooms (most do not have public access), one large auditorium, lots of offices (no public access of course besides the public reception counters), and plenty of open spaces throughout to give a feeling of large expanses. This was surely an expensive build, but it is a very nice government building, the most modern and nicest I've visited to date. Finally, I've not tried other eateries in this building, but Buddha Bowls and Rolls is here and they're good. There's also Jesse's Getaway Cafe for a quick breakfast or lunch bite.

Situations like this one always attract lookie-loos and passersby. But all the fire and medical personnel onsite today were professional and worked as a team. I watched as they voiced ideas on how best to get my neighbor safely transported. Not one tried to outshine another or be the star in any way. They worked as a great team. Their vehicles did not block driveways or traffic. My hat is off to these professionals, how they work and their consideration for not only their intended transport but for the surrounding homes. My utmost respect to the fire fighters and EMTs for the job they do.

It's the capital of California! In the Gold Rush era, the birthplace of trains and a Pony Express hub!! The Capital, Old Town Sacramento, Museums, and sports!! It's central living! It has affordable housing compared to Los Angeles! If you're into snow and love skiing, it only a couple of hours away to enjoy! If you love the City of San Francisco and its attractions and amenities, that, too, is about a couple of hours away. The same for Napa Valley and the beautiful scenery of grapes and wine tastings. Hiking and camping, too. Let's circle back to Sacramento! We have many choices of eateries! We have mom and pop's, farm to fork, many cuisines to choose from, popular chains types, bar foodies, food trucks, to Michelin-Starred restaurants!! We have many grocery store options at our fingertips. We have hospitals and clinics. We have many churches and schools. We have quite a bit compared to some very small towns. I think we all take the every day amenities for granted. Overall, it's a beautiful city!! It is not perfect. Nowhere is perfect. Let's count our blessings that we live in a beautiful city with amenities!!

Capital Park is a beautiful place. Definitely worthy of a visit in Sacramento. I have been here…read moremany many times; most recently over the past few years I have come here on my way to or from protests. However, I was having lunch in the area last week and realized I have never reviewed it. The highlight of the park for me is the beautiful World Peace Rose Garden, which is especially stunning right now because all of the roses are in bloom. The gardens' central fountain creates a peaceful atmosphere and makes this a wonderful place to relax and walk around or sit and just enjoy the scenery. I almost always have my dog with me and she loves watching all the squirrels in the park and there are so many settings that make for a great photo ops of her. There are also lots of great manicured paths for me to walk with her. Another thing that I love about this park is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. As the mother of a veteran, I am always very moved by this tribute to those who have served. The statues are incredibly well done and it's a beautiful space for some quiet reflection. Parking can sometimes be hard and expensive, but it's a lovely park where I am rarely bothered, no matter how busy it can get at times. I definitely recommend stopping by if you haven't already and I will continue to return to this park again and again whenever I'm downtown.

I happened to catch the Red Bull truck nearby, so I grabbed a few drinks and brought them over to the firefighters. It wasn't anything huge, but judging by the smiles on their faces, it was definitely appreciated. They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and took the time to chat with me instead of making me feel like I was interrupting their day. I was able to check out one of the fire engines, which was honestly really cool. You never realize just how much equipment these crews carry until you see it up close. The station itself was spotless, organized, and reflected the professionalism of everyone working there. One thing that really stuck with me is how much these crews do for our community without expecting anything in return. They spend long shifts away from their families, stay ready for emergencies at a moment's notice, and somehow still find time to be friendly to complete strangers who stop by just to say hello. If you've ever wondered whether dropping off donuts, coffee, energy drinks, sandwiches, or even just a simple thank-you would be appreciated, the answer is absolutely yes. These men and women work incredibly hard for all of us, and a small gesture can go a long way. Thank you to everyone at Fire Station 4 for taking the time to make a random visit feel so welcoming. Sacramento is lucky to have you.
