I recently returned from a vacation to Southern California. There are many annoying things about SoCal (starting with that overused term, but we NorCal’rs are just as guilty) but there was one thing that really sent me over the top and made me miss good ole Sacramento; the local news. For example, have a look … Continue reading “On the road”
In the Arden/Arcade ‘hood, residents, tired of having to shuttle downtown to eat at a high-priced chain steakhouse located in a mall, are abuzz with the arrival of their very own high-end chain steakhouse located in a mall. Ruth’s Chris (or is it Ruth Chris’? (or Ruth’s Chris’ (or maybe Ruth’s Kris (which is the … Continue reading “L’Image”
Today, I had my first egg salad sandwich ever. No kidding. I can’t say I’ve ever had an aversion to eggs or the idea of an egg salad sandwich, but I just never got around to consuming one. Until now. Thanks to the fine folks at DAD’S on S St, my sandwich scavenger hunt is … Continue reading “Banner Day, Hold the Onions”
Noting the rather cloying abundance of chain pizza places throughout the region, it’s important to revisit the local establishments, whether for good or for naught, making their own special brand of pizzas; all slightly different, but all containing the original pioneer spirit that made Sacramento “The Capital of the West,” or whatever other catchy phrase … Continue reading “Support Your Local Pizza”
CBS13 tells us that the California Correctional Peace Officers Association is suing the state of CA on behalf of Donald Cathey, who was ordered to remove his “Just say no to Arnold” shirt while on the job at a prison (doesn’t say which). I won’t get into the messy argument of free speech for public … Continue reading “Just Say No”
So it appears the “person of interest” in the Christie Wilson case had some of her hair in his car and is now being considered a “suspect” (Reader’s note: Still no word, like at all, on the missing Rio Linda foster mother). At our last Sac Rag staff meeting we were laughing about this term … Continue reading “Fun with labels”
Well, moving on… Did anybody else see the head-to-head 50 year anniversary specials on KCRA and News10 on Saturday night? One thing it proved to me is that local news shows see horrific local tragedies and think it’s their time to shine. The parade of memorable moments from both stations seemed more like a “Here’s … Continue reading “50 Years of Horror”
According to The KCRA Channel, the new state-of-the art courthouse that will serve violent underage offenders is not only going to see that they are convicted and sent to prison, but also it’s going to turn their lives around with the judicious use of words of wisdom inscribed on the floor. Before juvenile delinquents ever … Continue reading “Juvenile Courthouse a Regular Fun Factory”
The local version of Maury and Connie, KCRA’s Dave Walker and Lois Hart are stepping down from the 11 p.m. news later this year. Dave and Lois are definitely my favorite local broadcasting team (can you say, If you don’t like that, you don’t like local sports radio idiots?) and will be sorely missed in … Continue reading “King and Queen of River City news call it quits”
