His kindness, patience, and willingness to assist with anything we needed made a huge difference and helped make the entire experience much less stressful.

I was driving over it the other day and it reminds me of going to Old Sac as a teenager, just hanging out with friends and walking across the bridge.

Having grown up in Sacramento, I have seen downtown Sacramento and especially K Street go through…read moreits ups and down throughout the years. There was a time long ago when K Street was bustling with "Life". People shopping, eating out at restaurants, going to movie theaters and even cruising down K Street on cruise night. My fondest memories of K Street was walking by the" Fox Theater" and smelling the freshly made Carmel popcorn. Sooo good ! Both sides of the entrance of the theater were glass enclosures where you can see employees making delicious red/caramel candied apples, cotton candy, and red rope licorice. I also remember seeing spot lights light up the night skies during special movies screenings ! Saturday mornings were very special here at the "FOX Theater". Who needed money ! We were able to watch a movie and cartoons with just 5 Pepsi bottle caps. Luckily for me we lived right around the corner from a small Mexican grocery store. The owners were kind enough to let me rummage through their bottle caps. What wonderful memories ! During Kevin Johnson mayor tenure here in Sacramento, revitalization of the downtown area was a priority! With the Golden One Center & Downtown Commons being built , new business are finally coming back to downtown and especially K Street. Just think a few years ago people couldn't move away fast enough from downtown. Now It's "Cool"too live here. How "ironic"! Great things are coming ! Thanks for reading !

Once you live in a city long enough, you start developing a deeper appreciation for those places…read moreyou may take for granted but are so essential to the city's personality. One of those places is K Street, which thanks to its location in the very heart of downtown, has been the victim of constant change, for better or worse. It used to be a place lined with cars and teeming with families and restaurants and the famous "Fox Theater." Then it met a decline and attracted a lot of crime with a lot of shuttered businesses and became the blight of the city. Gradually, beginning in the mid '00's, it had a return to form, with more businesses opening and a wonderful revitalization. That took a hit with the great recession but it came back again in a big way when Golden 1 arena was built. Even though we are in the time of COVID, I'm confident that K will continue to grow and thrive in the decade ahead. Some of the most notable spots are the historic church, some of the older buildings and some of the modern businesses, like the Empress, Pizza Rock and the new popular Nash & Proper. The visual landmark we all enjoy is actually the Crest Theater, which I pray will survive these tough times. Whatever the case, it's a great place to stroll. While flawed, it's still one of the most interesting streets in our city!

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 knew from having worked in government before that the building is actually offices for The state of California but what I learned while I was there is that the building was completed in the late 1990s and was designed to resemble ancient Mesopotamian steeped pyramid temples. I stopped by with my pup just to check it out and walk around but parking was much tighter than I expected. There is a parking garage but I didn't want to pay just to check out the building for 5 minutes. There was a couple picnicking on the front lawn of the building with their dog off leash and the security guard walked out immediately which made me nervous about overstaying my welcome or accidentally parking somewhere that I shouldn't. The building was very cool to see in person and looks nice. I took a cute picture of my pup in front of it and went on with my day. If you like unusual buildings or local landmarks, this is fairly easy. Quick stop if you're in the area.

I like different styles of architecture so I was impressed and took some photos but you don't really need any more than 10 minutes here. Previous Yelpers mentioned a cafeteria but I tried and was told it's only for employees of the building. There's Tree House Cafe across the street which was nice with a large outside patio and had it's own resident cat. There is a pathway alongside the river behind the building so you can make this a nice loop with the I Street Bridge.

Coming to the USA with nothing but two suitcases and 3 kids she quickly worked her way up to the Land Park neighborhood. A stunning house with 4 car garage, metal roof and pool. She loved old Sacramento and looked down on village or town or junky places. She too good for that. Piggy was too good for that. The romantic river once had the pirate boat shows - pig pig loved them. The old bridge - I love driving over that.
