This post by John reminds me how much I’ve always hated that “close to Tahoe, close to SF” mantra about Sac. Maybe it’s because I don’t generally you know, “talk” to “people” or “have” “friends” but I don’t hear that phrase as often anymore, because I think Sacramento outgrew it, but not in a good way. It has now morphed into the “loft living, huge chain restaurants, attracting people to move here rather than make the city usable for those who already live here” attitude that The Sac Rag and our friends on the blogosphere have been railing against for months. It’s a city that wants to believe it has more to offer than proximity to cooler stuff but can’t quite be comfortable owning what it has. Let’s own what we have, people.

I always used to hear “Half way between Tahoe and San Francisco,” but you’re right: I don’t hear that anymore, and I do “have” “friends” and/or “talk” to “people.”

Sacramento used to be the place I’d stop for gas on my way to LA. Still kinda is.
