Thanks for the comments. I Must have written it down incorrectly in my notes, and a correction is being made. Sorry for the error.
Ah, I wasn't aware of the update. Thanks for the info.
It's on the newly named "Blues Alley," which is the alley south of B Street and north of C Street, and it's between 22nd and 23rd streets. The physical address is 2207 C St., which is a little confusing, as it's not actually on C Street. I guess the new alley names won't be known until they get some signage up. Thanks for the comments.
448-3844 is the number of the Downtown Plaza store, where Jason Yee can be reached. He told me he's open to bringing on a new business partner.
No, it's a sloped roof. That would be nice in the spring, though.
Geoff, the bridge is not too far from the end of its intended lifespan, but with renovations and upgrades, it can keep going. If all the major parts are replaced piecemeal, that can be considered a replacement as much as replacing it all at once.
I was just wondering what the cutoff date was before they put the pot metal or steel inserts in them.
Casey, It's all of the above. Alex Cosper made some of his own videos, some are user-submitted and others are preexisting ones such as the ones from the "A Place Called Sacramento" film festival that are going to be posted after permission is granted.
You're right. It will take a long time and more than just cars if it is to change. Police calls for service are down since the same time last year, a fact they attribute to the new location of the Greyhound terminal. If the 700 and 800 blocks are successfully redeveloped and start to thrive, I think K Street will be a very different place in a decade.
Hi Mark, There was no intention of "I told you so" in this article. It's just an update to let people know what those who are there on a daily basis are seeing. We all know these things take a while to have any effect, as some of those interviewed pointed out. I stood at the light rail stop in front of the Crest for 10 minutes before I saw a car on the street for the photo. The natural question most who don't travel K Street every day would have is, "Are there cars on it now, and is there any change?" That's what this was about.
Hi Rose, Thanks for pointing that out, and I am sorry about that. It has been fixed.
William, I was always taught that "historic" buildings are those historical buildings with special significance, such as the Great Pyramid, the Eiffel Tower, or locally Sutter's Fort. In the section you quoted, that is how I read it. She mentions a treaty being historic, while later on, she mentions documents being historical. So I see it as Sutter's Fort = historic, and my house (built in 1920) = historical. It seems more natural to say historic, so I did check it out before publishing, and the State Parks Department has a "Historical Building Code" (http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=21410). Now, I might be placing less historical significance to those buildings, in which case I would defer to your better knowledge of the subject. And of course, it is entirely possible that I was taught wrong and am reading too much into something simple.
Thanks for the comment. However, "historical" is correct in this sense. Here is a link to the explanation from a free site, but the gist of it is that "historic" usually refers to an important event or occasion, and "historical" is a general adjective meaning something is from history. http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/historic-versus-historical.aspx
Also for those interested, Sacramento is adding more bicycle lanes in the downtown area. Work will be done with summer road work schedules, so you might start seeing them late next year. http://www.sacramentopress.com/headline/49095/More_bicycle_access_coming_to_downtown
John Sutter came from Liestal.
Thank you for your comments. I'm sorry it wasn't immediately clear. With details not released by city officials, it seemed prudent to get an analysis from an industry expert familiar with the issue not just in Sacramento, but other jurisdictions across California. Even if city officials had released more details, I would still have talked to Conway to get a source from outside the city.
Hi Cogmeyer, In the article, I never quoted or sourced anyone on the City Council or in the city government as saying Occupy Sacramento and chicken coops delayed their ability to make a decision. That comment is attributed to Daniel Conway of the California Restaurant Association, which is not at all a part of the city, but an industry organization. He merely pointed out that the council has had a lot on its plate lately, and it was relevant to the article, so I included it.
Hi Burnsie, The address is 4261 Truxel Road. It's in the article, albeit more toward the middle.
Conversation about: The Red Rabbit opens on J Street
One note on a change in the article: The "Earth Burger" is actually called the "Farm to Table Burger." There was a change to the menu after the article was written.
