Having clean water to drink is something we all take for granted. Just turn on the faucet and"…read more WA-La" . But if you lived here in Sacramento prior to 1923, there were no water treatment plants ! The water we drank and bathed in came directly out of the Sacramento River. When the City of Sacramento was in its early development stage, the city was well known for its horrible water. This fact alone kept new immigrants and business from coming to Sacramento. In 1923 , Sacramento Historic Water Pumping Plant and Pumping Station was built. This was the first municipal filtration plant West of the Rockies. Sacramento residence were now able to get clean drinking water. Pumping Station 2 was still in use as late as 2011 providing clean water to the residence of Sacramento . During this time they were also giving tours of the plant in order to educate the public as to "how modern technology keeps the plant operating effectively as well as learn about its aging infrastructure and what repairs and upgrade that would be needed in the near future. I am glad these historic buildings still remain . It remind us how far we have come as a City and to appreciate everything our fore fathers have done for us ! A little history of Sacramento.

Bishop Gallegos Square is a square I've walked through hundreds of times during my visits to…read moredowntown Sacramento yet it was only recently when I stopped to see what the place actually represented. Set in the shadow of the magnificent and gorgeous old Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, this square is apparently dedicated to a priest who was a big part of the church at some point. There's a large statue representing him with a plaque, some flags representing the church and a number of benches in the shade for chilling and relaxing. This is also less than a block from the Capitol, which you will have a nice view of. Consider this as one of those forgotten places in plain sight to visit and enjoy while walking around downtown!
