Thanks for the story! I hope they do well, it's sure not an easy climate for starting any new enterprise. Re the building's history, I couldn't resist checking Sanborn (Fire Insurance) maps from 1915 and later. The 1915 map showed no structure at 1700, a residence at 1708 M. A later map noted that a store had been built on both lots in 1916.

Wow, cam8008, you really think you can live in Folsom, get 'fresh healthy meat', save time and not have a car? Also, I'm not sure I understand your use of the phrase "Greek developers", but it seems slightly xenophobic and more than slightly offensive.

Thanks for this article. I go to West Sac fairly regularly for business, and hadn't heard anything about this, so I'll check it out.
