The City of Folsom is a beautiful city with almost everything--camping, hiking, fishing, shopping…read moremalls, outlets mall, old town area.. etc. I enjoyed how the city is building on the foothills and next to the water - Folsom Lake. The town is three dimensions. Some area is up on the hills; others is on the waterfront. Some area has lots of three, and some area is full of shopping centers. I can always find something I want in the City of Folsom. Many of my favorite restaurants are also in Folsom. I can have my lovely curries here; Thai and Indian curries are great! They have a few Middle-Eastern restaurants I enjoyed in the area too! Of course, they have good Chinese, Japanese, and American restaurants too. The only thing Folsom doesn't have before is they don't have a bakery I like. But the problem was fixed followed by T&5 Cafe & Bakery opening a new location in Folsom. The City of Folsom has everything I want now! Lol!

The Wild Wild West, Oh Yeah!…read more SITREP Okay. Maybe NOT QUITE, but dam close enough! There's tumbleweeds along HWY 50. Horses corralled up on ranchettes between Folsom and El Dorado Hills. There's even a FOLSOM RODEO where I can watch kids ride precocious sheep: "MUTTON WRANGLING!" THE SETUP I value my local friends who show me all the neat markets and antique faires that highlight some of my favorite shopping past times. FOOD HOT SPOTS! But anything pertaining to FOOD has my primary attention! * From Pizza, to Chocolate to Ice Cream shops, if you tastes run along the sweet and quick & easy, you'll find your "poison" along Historic Sutter Street; * But if you're looking for classy Steak Houses or awesome Seafood Restaurants, same place - it's here! * Of specific interest to me is Hop Sing Palace also on Historic Sutter Street: it is my all time favorite Chinese Restaurant in the entire Sacramento Valley! PRODUCE I've learned to go to the Farmer's Market in the Historic Sutter District (at the foot of Historic Sutter Street), and here you can find just about anything! Early in the Spring you're basic fruits and veggies. Later in the Fall, more seasonal faire. My buddy, Master Yelper Eric S., even showed me where to pick out the pumpkins! THE LOWDOWN So much to write about, but suffice it to say that Folsom is a growing community with a lot of stuff for you! It's always helpful

We enjoyed visiting this really neat, fun, educational, & free experience in a lovely nature area…read more We found ample parking in the lot on a Sunday morning. Park at the far end from the lot entrance to be situated closer to the Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is small, but clean, organized, & packed with lots of facts & information. Some areas offered hands-on experiences. They also had coloring sheets for kids. Giant fish heads offer a listening experience teaching about the Chinook Salmon & Steelhead Trout. We enjoyed wandering around. Restrooms are available & were maintained. Just watch out for some spiders on the ceiling above. We went out to the hatchery early enough to get to scoop up some free fish food by the gate with available containers. It ran out while we were still there. It was a very cool experience to see the fish go into a feeding frenzy! Do keep the gate closed, which is posted on a sign. Some people weren't being attentive. There are observation points & a lovely trail to walk along the river with some informative signs here & there. It was so pleasant to take in the pretty, peaceful scenery & watch birds. We hope to return to see more action with the salmon & trout from November to February. Do check their website for up-to-date visitor information as they close the facility to the public after Memorial Day until Labor Day & times may be subject to change.

Fun place for a weekend family outing!…read more Great for kids, and plenty of open space, parking, and fresh air to run around and let the kiddos explore. They host plenty of family friendly educational events, including tot-time story time every month. Plenty of school outings/field trips come here, but they are open to the regular public to explore and observe. They are attached to the American River Hatchery, which has plenty of spawning pens where you can closely observe the fish and occasionally feed them (until the food runs out). Highly recommended!

She thinks it is…read moreperfectly o.k. for me a low income, elderly, disabled landlord to be held responsible for paying water and sewer on behalf of my very healthy, very well paid young professional tenants. This practice is also a violation of the Uniform Commercial Code of the United State of America because you are making landlords pay for a service they are not using. SMUD which provides electricity and P, G & E which provides gas also bill tenants directly without getting landlords involved. She also thinks it alright for the Folsom police to not site my former tenants for doing $10,000 worth of damage to my property letting dog hair destroy my air conditioner and the other tenant turning off the outside water killing the entire yard and two large trees. Her response "Well you should not have rented to dog owners." Hello, 60% of tenants now have pets so 60% of my market is eliminated by not renting to people with pets. Moreover, people without pets are strongly recruited by landlords and they end up renting brand new houses which my two rental properties are not. She also expressed no concern for the fact the City of Folsom did thousands of dollars worth of damage to the cooper pipes in one of my rental properties because the city added a chemical to the water that destroyed cooper pipes. Her total insensitivity to small, elderly, retired landlords is just appalling.

But I really wanted to see Folsom and while on the way to Folsom Lake State Recreation Area with friends, we noticed a sign for the Folsom Prison Museum. Naturally, curiosity won out and we took a much desired detour. Despite having checked online and learning the museum is closed for the foreseeable future (likely budget related), we still decided to drive onto the prison campus anyway to at least see the outside. Mission accomplished! Not only did we find the museum and snap a bunch of fun photos but we also ended up meeting two of the friendliest prison guards imaginable (please note: they're also the only prison guards I've ever met, but still!). They generously took the time to share stories about the prison's history, current conditions, and even fun trivia like the fact that all California license plates are made here at Folsom. Incredible! Oh! I also got a Junior Correctional Officer sticker, how fun!!! Their kindness and willingness to chat really made the stop worthwhile, even without stepping inside the museum. Which, by the way, the museum is the old warden's residence! While I'd love to return if the museum ever reopens, I'll definitely pass on the chance to spend a night here as an official guest. Still, for a quick, quirky, and historic stop, Folsom Prison delivered.
