I believe it sold for $1m several years ago

There's a really great space currently for lease in Oak Park on the corner of 35th Street and 4th Ave across from the 4th Ave. Lofts. It was the first bank in Oak Park opened 1912 as the Citizen Bank by Harry Muddox (known for his bricks). It's half a block from Old Soul @ 40 Acres, the Guild Theater and the Brickhouse and Evolve Galleries. We would welcome you with open arms and support!

We are excited to have ASLA as a new Co-host for 2011! This is a free, monthly dialogue series created by the Urban Design Alliance-Sacramento several years back and is devoted to Design, Architecture, Landscape & Planning and is open to the public.

That's tough to hear. Josh and crew did such a great job of making green building product accessible to homeowners. Green Sacramento will be missed.

The OPNA meetings are always well attended by a very diverse set of neighbors. Oak Park is a community where anyone who wants to get involved can. I'm so proud of Oak Park and love my neighborhood!

A lot of lip-service was paid at last night's City Council meeting by several of it's members, saying one thing yet doing something else. It's unfortunate that the rules of the game were changed at the eleventh hour, seems wrong to impose such measures so late in the game. As I understand, the proposed design did not break any zoning rules or design guidelines and came down a matter of taste. Seems like the potential homeowners could file a lawsuit against the city if they chose too, possibly recoup architectural design fees and submittal fees paid to the city??? Folks, alley's are on the fringe and the proposed design here or on any other alley else should respond to that. Any other design would be irresponsible and ludicrous.

I'll be there next time, looks like a total blast!

Oak Park doesn't need another "quick serve" restaurant; McDonald's or other. It needs local businesses offering healthy alternatives, we owe it to our residence to support those options. No more fast-food or liquor stores in Oak Park...churches and tire shops are up there for me personally as well.

Bill - I agree with some of what you've said in your response to BillyJames4545 but how do you figure, "Their (KC) end result was a central city that is still years behind where Sacramento's is today." I beg to differ having recently visited. It's vibrant, bustling with lots of housing, dining and entertainment options, and a thriving art scene made popular by their "First Friday's". While similar to Sacramento, KC far exceeds what we've accomplished in our downtown to date. Additionally, they may not have a professional sports team but I believe that's actually allowed them to program more non-sporting events, concerts, college basketball, etc. Upon my return to Sac I was left humbled by the progress I saw in KC. I still see KC as a good example of what's possible.

Charles Mason and Ubuntu Green are wonderful examples of what's happening in this neighborhood. Raising families, building community and helping others, It's a win-win for Oak Park and Sacramento!

We are so happy to have the central Oak Park walking tour in our very own backyard. The event was fantastic, a huge thanks goes out to Robin Datel and her CSUS students for this Legacy project!

Curmudgeon - I encourage you to attend the upcoming lecture with Prof. Datel and see that much has changed in our beloved community and the ignorant stereotyping of Oak Park is no longer acceptable.

I agree with Brian Fischer, I believe Oak Park and specifically McClatchy Park (formerly Joyland) at one time hosted Sacramento's only Velodrome. This is something the community would again embrace and it would introduce our youth to a sport that is embraced worldwide and part of the Olympics. I'm very excited at the prospect of Sacramento's own velodrome...you may even catch me on the track taking my laps as well!

We're very happy to see that beautiful building in Oak Park being put to good use. Best of luck to Tim clark and his family!

Dane, thanks for covering the screening and a special thanks to all those who attended.

In this case I see it as selflessness and not anonymity. I'm sorry you take issue with that but glad to hear you're on board. BTW- you are one of those people I'd like to "bring together", we have lots to talk about.

Creepy, that's an interesting response but it's yours to have. The point of remaining anonymous is that it's not about any one person, organization or group, ultimately it's about Sacramento and bringing Sacramentans together.

After watching the video snippets again on the documentary...I realized just how excited I am to have this film screened in Sacramento. The documentary appeals to anyone concerned with the state of Sacramento's downtown, it's got a little of everything.

Just curious, why all the "thumbs down"? Anyone care to share...

Bil: All locals, you most likely know them but they would like to remain anonymous. It's a large team that wants to bring the city together and believes this film can help do that.
