Hm. Good luck to them. This space is kind of a joke among my circle as it seems that the tenants change with the seasons. I'm pretty sure in the year I've lived in Davis it has been three things and shut down numerous times. This is still continuing the trend of, "Davis: where Sacramento establishments go to die."

I don't agree. Suburbs are not a natural part of the cycle. They have been built up in the last century ad nauseum. Small towns, sure. But an entire network of "not-cities" forming a "city" is new and I hope the cycle doesn't continue. I really hope the trend leads to the end of the suburb. They're isolated slots of land with ugly,copy cat houses of inefficiency. Midtown can be for all ages, I don't see why not.

As the Onion loves to say, "stereotypes make everything easier". Both of these stereotypes hold true as stereotypes, nothing new presented. I don't have a problem with either of these sentiments about Midtown and Roseville (or any other Suburb for that matter). Of course, these aren't 100% true of all people! But they help us and we need them. Suburb vs. Urban center is repeated all over the country. In DC, it's Dupont Circle vs. Fairfax. In San Francisco, it's the Mission vs. Danville. In Sacramento, it's Midtown vs. Roseville. I think it's just recently that public opinion has put the two on more equal footing, considering in the past there was no fight and the Rosevilles of the country would be held in much higher regards than the Midtowns. Now, we're seeing that flip flop and the way urbanization seems to be going,and Roseville will be the "ghetto" and Midtown the ideal.

Awesome! As someone who just started with the whole backyard chickens thing, I'm totally for this. Chickens are so easy to keep and they're far cheaper than a cat or dog. I'm all down for efficient animals that make eggs for me to eat. If I was still living in midtown, I'd still be able to keep my chickens because they don't take much space up at all.

Excellent! I've talked to her multiple times that she needed to move to Midtown and what a great location. I really hope she got a good deal on it too. I can't wait to go visit her when she moves to midtown!
