Traversing the Sacramento County area for a great burger at a great price can be a hard thing to do. Where Classic Burger formerly stood, owner, Steve of the Granite's family, has owned, operated and served up a huge menu of great eats, with "an east coast touch", going on one year now. This isn't your ordinary hamburger stand, Steve serves up a full diverse menu of Charbroiled Burgers, Italian Meatball Subs, Steak and Mushroom Cheesesteak Hoagies, Hot Pastrami on french roll, Grilled Chicago Dogs, Charbroiled Chicken Sandwiches, B.L.T, Chef Salads, Cold Cut Combo, Ham, Turkey, Italian Salami, Pepperoni and NY Buffalo Chicken Wings 10-50pc to name a few, including 92 other menu items to s

Yes. The owner Steve, has operated, owned and been open at Back on the Block for about a year since Classic Burger folded. Generous portions, low prices and great food is what he does everyday. He's there 7 days a week. What's sad is alot of people don't know he's there or drive by thinking it's a market or deli. Hoping to get the word out.

Nice article, keeping both sides viewpoints fresh. I'll be sad to see the secret passageway and graffiti gone, commericialized, renovated. But the lights would be a good addition. I'm glad that allocated $200,000 is going to renovate a hardly used old neglected bridge, not helping the herds and masses of the Sacramento unemployed. They should have lumped that into the stupid I-5 million dollar renovation. I wonder what good vote for city council members ever does.

Both great points. But i don't see what cameras are going to do to deter unemployed desperate and/or loser people from committing crime. Just yesterday i was propositioned by 4 people for money or to use my phone at gas stations, and my car got broken into last week. The Police department & Sheriff are stretched so thin even before layoffs and downsizing that most of downtown and nice neighborhoods go unpatrolled because they are called away to deal with in progress crimes & bad neighborhoods. Think about how many cops you see patrolling in your own neighborhood. Then if you have to call the police you're looking at an extended hold time because they downsized 9-1-1 centers too. But cameras are going to save us?

I wholly agree that intersection is super unsafe. Just as the intersection at 20th and K remains with a flashing red signal that everyone blows through. But I hope they don't put up a traffic light at 16th and U st. It doesn't matter if they have a light there or not, there's always going to be stupid people, bad drunk or unsafe drivers and it's going to cause a major traffic slow down for people exiting 16th st exit off the freeway. Clogged traffic makes people do desperate things, people running late or angry and more accidents will happen.

At least the homeless lady who permanently sleeps and sits on the lawn of someone's home on 25th st south of K st downtown won't be affected. Everytime i go by there, she's there.
