Beckler’s comments on the newest proposal for K street revitalization are spot on. I wholeheartedly endorse her use of the F word. Fargo is endorsing making K street “unique,” and here’s what Beckler has to say about that: Well, if by “unique” you mean “copying another city’s idea” I guess you could say it’s unique … Continue reading “Heckasac on Fargo”
The venerable Heckasac today: Remember all the blogs that have come and gone? The ones that started off strong and faded away? Remember when Sac Rag was a big thing? Oh wait, they are still posting! I’ll have to go back to checking. Although when SNR had a “best of” blogs category, I argued and … Continue reading “Rumors of our demise etc. etc.”
Strong words of disapproval for the Amtrak station changes from Heckasac, a frequent Capital Corridor rider. Sounds like a massive fail at least for some riders. I too was struck by spokespeople comparing the size of the new tunnel to the size of much larger stations. It’s a small train station with 2 platforms. Though … Continue reading “Blogger reaction to Amtrak changes”
The more I think about the current proposal to lease the City’s parking operations to fund a big upfront payment on the arena, the worse the idea sounds. I guess you could say I’m approaching Heckasac levels of frustration with the idea. Last week Cosmo Garvin highlighted the numbers in the initial report on the … Continue reading “Parking lease proposal stinks?”

Filigreed flowers, hearts, stars and butterflies – designed to look … Continue reading ““A bit of ‘Wow’” coming to K Street”
Two cool events this weekend will help you warm up for Sacramento Beer Week. On Saturday, meet the dead brewers of times gone past. On Sunday, meet brewers of today and watch lots of beer get made. (Please forgive the press release cut and paste. I’m busy.)
Once again we’ve been chosen by you readerfolk as the Best Of something in the News & Review’s annual contest!

Heckasac has a video of Sacramento psych/noise pop band Ganglians playing their song “Hair” on the immortal show “The Adventures of Pete & Pete.” That’s not exactly what’s happening — the video is a mashup of the Ganglians song dubbed over the original track by members of the band Polaris, who did most of the … Continue reading ““The Adventures Of The Ganglians And Pete””
If you’re eagerly awaiting the return of “Lost” on ABC next week, make sure to check out Sacramento’s premiere “Lost”-themed band The Constants. Their MySpace page boasts three songs and a video, and I suppose there must have been a long band meeting about whether or not to cover “You All Everybody,” and though I … Continue reading “Can’t wait to go back? Check out The Constants”
