Tracy B. comment-5190 2009-03-29T12:17:20Z 2009-03-29T12:17:20Z I have been intrigued by the the underground passages upon learning of them in 1980,when I moved to Sacramento.I enjoy our city's history period! My mother was raised here in the 30's-50' then moved for many years.Eventually she came back "home" and I guess I found mine. I would love to see more preservation,but its seems to always be to little to late.Its encouraging that some effort is being made,I thought the city had already abandoned any ideas of saving what is left.

I really was'nt expecting the Ball Drop to be spectacular,I was curious to see who would show.Sounds like a real turn out.I was in Old Sacramento with my teenage son,who's only focus was to meet his girlfriend.Either way I guess I would have enjoyed the night.The cool part is because we rode in(bike & skateboard),so we did'nt have to fight the traffic or worry about parking. Happy New Year! Tracy B. 2009-01-05T06:48:17Z Tracy B. comment-1861 2009-01-05T01:10:42Z 2009-01-05T01:10:42Z Yea,I did too! Gee,computers are fun not evil as I once thought.Just kidding.

Sacramento really does have a great history,there something for everyone.Sometimes we have to look just below the surface to find it!!

It's in the corner of the parking lot.I'm interested in in seeing what you find out.I was told what the siren was for when I first heard it,but thats all.

I've had the opportunity of seeing him twice in the past month,without leaving home.He has attended two events at Bishop Francis A. Quinn Cottages. Nice to meet you Mr.Mayor.

Its been creepy ever since I first saw it,back in the 80's.It is'nt looking good though,needs a little help.I know you can find some good info at the Sacramento Room @ the Main library.Good photo.

It would be SS & S. Tracy B. 2008-11-09T00:11:49Z Tracy B. comment-803 2008-11-08T23:20:22Z 2008-11-08T23:20:22Z Just taking a look... to see. What it's all about. Tracy B. 2008-11-08T23:20:22Z
