Another blog to track in the Sac blogosphere, from Midtown Monthly. A few posts are up already, from Heckasac’s Beckler; HK, who must be music writer Heather Klinger; and founders Tim Foster and Liv Moe. Building on Midtown’s arts-food-music-life coverage with a blog seems like a great addition and I wish them luck!
The internets were all abuzz with rumors of a Chloe Sevigny sighting at midtown vintage boutique Bows & Arrows on Saturday. Word from the Woodland Daily Democrat is that miss Sevigny was in the area filming “Big Love” for HBO: [C]ast and crew arrived in Woodland Thursday night as part of a plot line that … Continue reading ““Big Love” sightings”
In a front page story today, the Bee chastises voters (presumably some of whom, you know, work at the Bee) for making the state “ungovernable” with our insistence on both mandatory spending and no tax increases. Only 4 percent [of voters], according to a recent poll, have a “great deal” of confidence that lawmakers can … Continue reading “Bee to Voters: Budget Woes Are Your Fault”
This isn’t the first time that the racist idiocy that is the comments box at the Sac Bee has come to my attention. We here at the Rag, and other bloggers like Heckasac have often pointed out the problem. Today’s racist idiocy comes from this story of the shooting death of a young woman in … Continue reading “Sac Bee comments must be stopped – UPDATED”
An interesting comment thread about the Bee’s story about health violations at Asian restaurants and the related Bee database on food violations on this Heckasac post Monday about peach pie. A great post about the Google Street View, including some counterpoint to Scooter’s comments here, on Zokuga, which is a new-since-2008 blog that I think … Continue reading “Tuesday blog roundup”

Heckasac beat me to posting about the article in Via magazine about midtown. The Via article is here. I think it is interesting that one main focus of the article is on Sacto as a “walking town” and for using the phrase “ground-beef triangle” to refer to the as-yet unlabeled area bordered by Ford’s, Willie’s, … Continue reading “Midtown featured in AAA mag”
…better than all the rest, as they say. Specifically this here web log, which once again won the News & Review’s Reader’s Choice award for Best Local Blog. MarkTalk.com and Heckasac round out the top three. For those of you playing along at home those are the top three finishers from last year’s voting. We … Continue reading “Simply the best!”
Via Heckasac I bring you a postcard advertising the Food Circus on Flickr… This is something we at the Rag have wanted to see for a long time (well, not that long in Rag years).
Heckasac wonders whether SacPD is doing enough to stop drunk driving in midtown, though I think she probably unfairly places blame on suburbanites. Of course it’s general, it’s a generalization. Nick from FFT started a River Cats blog with his brother. Which makes me think two things: My brother and I should totally start a … Continue reading “Blog roundup – 3/29/07”
