I'm thinking that some people just don't realize what the up or down arrows are for. My understanding is that they were to rate the article and not the content of the article. How can an informational article be voted down? You might as well vote down on one that tells about how many police are going to be at a police event and what is going to happen throughout the day. It just makes no sense.

I appreciate what the Kings mean to some people, and that there are genuine fans who love them. But this whole relationship with the Maloofs, them threatening to leave and then acting like they're so beneficent by deciding to stay, and us celebrating that...feels a little like the girl who's baby daddy smacks her on Jerry Springer, but who takes him back, cuz she's "sure he'll change, he just needs time."

We have street maintenance? Who knew?!?

I think it's mainly for people who commute via public transportation or who don't have cars. I haven't had a car for 7 years and this is an awesome thing. Since there are short trips to Davis or other parts of Sac that are either out of the way of public transit or would take far too long. For people who commute and leave their cars at home or at transit parking lots, this would be a way for them to attend meetings that are a little further away, without having to bring their car into town and pay all day parking for them. Or if they just want to get away at lunch, but don't like the options closest, this opens up other parts of Sac to them.

Also, if you are an employee of an organization that is involved in the Sacramento TMA, like CalEPA employees, you can use your work email and the one-year membership fee is dropped to $25. I believe the application fee is also waived. AND if you use the code SACRAMENTO when you register, you'll get a $50 driving credit. I think the only downside of the event was a handicapped woman in a mobile scooter that was getting agitated at the workaround that ZipCar had regarding handicapped accessible vehicles being available. Basically, I believe the VP talked to her and stated that if a handicap accessible car was necessary, that they would need a 7 day advance notice to get one to a location. And she didn't sound happy at that solution. I'd be interested in seeing what their plan is to address that issue, beyond what he offered.

Regardless of the processing fee, it's another layer of red tape that is unnecessary. And depending on the landowners, some may decide just to close up the garden rather than bother with a hassle, when something like community gardens should be as free from hassle as possible.

You shouldn't be embarrassed. There is some gorgeous street art downtown. And he was commissioned for the work. He probably assumed that they had the right to do something like that on the wall. It's not up to him to chase down permission.

The mural was gorgeous! That's a bummer. He probably would've painted over something by banksy...

Woot! Finally!!

Yeah, god forbid only the good drivers come here. The bad drivers are where the money's at!!

Totally, I'm tired of the over-priced, small rolls from the Mikuni types of Sac.

Agreed, CPK is horrid!!

Same here. You may have seen my Bf get up and leave. He was so anxious at seeing his idol perform in person he was having an anxiety attack. His hands were cold to the touch and he was getting light headed. So I'm not sure if it would've been good if he had met him that night. :)

I'm kinda bummed. I'm sure the new place will be amazing, but the old place had such charm. I hope they can try and recreate that at the new place.

Finally a steak place nearby in walking distance. I just hope that their steaks are amazing!

I was right there, second row, on the left side (fortunately that's where he spent a lot of his time) so it was a great experience and I enjoyed it immensely. Even if I will be eating Ramen for the remainder of the month. I just wished I'd had a chance to have him meet my bf who has been a fan of his since he was 6. And greatly admires and feels a kinship with him.

So...the dealticket gift certificates will still be honored? Or no...

I still like it as a walking mall. The argument that it'll generate more business because people will see the businesses there is bunk. People know that there are business on K street. If they're not going because parking is hard to find on existing trafficked streets, then they're not going to go if it opens up. Especially if it's before all this supposedly amazing stuff is going to be happening between 9th and 7th. The main problems with K are the huge blank spots where there are no stores and the fact that you have to deal with the gangs of ghetto people at the St Rose stop, and those across the street at the main downtown plaza bus stop.

I think all the complaining is ridiculous. Lower the hours to 9 or 10 pm. Give them some parking area. It's not like the impact will be huge, for god sakes, they're just on the opposite side of the same block that they were on before. Everyone will more than likely still park on 23rd, J or 24th like they always did. I don't see how the Golden Bear makes it on this block and Cornerstone doesn't. Cornerstone is a much nicer establishment than the Golden Bear.
