Right now Sacramento is full of "Kodak moments." This afternoon I stalked Downtown and Midtown for those moments. There was something around every corner. The Grid in Technicolor:

The weather is cooling down, the leaves are changing and for many Sacramentans, it is time to head up the hill and spend a day dedicated to everything apple and everything fall. According to the Sacramento Regional Research Institute, 500,000 visitors come every year to explore the farms and ranches that belong to the Apple Hill Growers Association. The area is famous for having excellent pies, incredible cider and tons of activities for kids and adults. Located one hour east of Sacramento are rolling hills of apple orchards, vineyards and Christmas tree farms. In the western Sierra Foothills lie more than 50 farms that offer an opportunity for visitors to step back in time, enjoy the s

Summer is almost over, but fall in Sacramento offers new things to look forward to. This is the time of year when the leaves change color, the weather cools off and the smells of fall swirl in the air and capture the hearts of the people. The Sacramento Press asked: What are you most excited about for fall in Sacramento this year? Brittany Ryan, a 23-year-old student at Sacramento State from Natomas, said, “I love when the leaves change color and am excited to drink pumpkin spice lattes from the local coffee shops.” Christina Peterson, a 29-year-old stay-at-home mom from Sacramento, said, “We are excited to start the family tradition of going to Apple Hill and the pumpkin patch with our

  Fall was definitely in the air Saturday as the Davis Farmers Market held its annual festival to celebrate the season. In addition to the typical market fare of garden-fresh fruits and vegetables, the festival, which is held on the last Saturday in October, brought a fall theme including Halloween decorations, a scarecrow display, additional vendors and more activities for families. Overcast skies and cool air accompanied the dozens of Mylar balloons, cornstalks and hay bales that made up the many decorations in the market area. Joy Wills, the assistant manager who has worked at the market for 18 years, described the festival as a “celebration of the fall harvest.” Wills also mentioned

Sitting on the edge of wonder, it is time to build the sukkah and dine under the stars with the region's young Jewish professionals, leaders, community, family, and friends. It’s harvest time. In Sacramento, perhaps more than many cities or regions around the world, we can very much identify with the spirit of Sukkot. Tomorrow evening, Friday, Sept. 24, join NextDor and PJ Library in Sacramento for a Shabbat Sukkot dinner together! We'll dine outside in the sukkah, learn about Sukkot traditions, shake a few lulavs, and read stories. PJ Library is even providing the food! This event is the evening before NextDor's own big Sukkot dinner, so take advantage of both chances to make friends and

The State Capitol is silhouetted against a sunset-colored sky this evening. Fall officially begins tomorrow. At the autumnal equinox (Sept. 22, 2010, 11:09 P.M.), the Sun appears to cross the celestial equator, from north to south. This marks the beginning of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

Approximately 10:30 p.m. Fri. May 22.  My girlfriend and I were entering our car parked on the corner of 14th and Q Streets after enjoying some portabella and tofu burgers at Burgers and Brew.  A loud crack rang through the night air drawing my attention.  Seconds later a second crack followed, this time louder.  I surveyed the street wondering if I heard a minor car accident when the unique sound of splitting wood occurred. I watched as a branch, at least 15 feet in length with several large branches attached to it fell 50 ft. to the street landing directly on the hood of a car.  We walked around, amazed at what we had just witnessed, when I noticed a sign posted on the street directly
