Hey there, Sacramento. Each day we get the privilege of kicking off our morning with you. We’re pen pals, friends, buddies — whatever you want to call us (consider this our formal invitation asking you to be ours), and we feel like we’ve really gotten to know one another.
So, we’re testing your knowledge. We’ve put together a SAC-specific game challenging you to get to know us a little more. Bonus points if you send us some of your favorites from the list. The answer key is in The Wrap (but no peeking).
It’s a sunny and 70° day in the City of Trees. You’ll find SACtoday editor (1) at Sibling’s patio with a heaping plate of Sunnyside Chicken Rolled Tacos + a glass of grapefruit mimosa. SACtoday editor (2) is likely walking in Tahoe Park with leftovers from Bacon & Butter in hand.
New Order is headlining at Cal Expo. SACtoday editor (3) has front row seats + backstage passes. SACtoday editor (4) has season tickets to the Kings and is patiently awaiting Wu-Tang Clan + Nas on Sun., Oct. 2.
Two can keep a secret, but we’re letting you in on ours.
“Hopping off Hwy 50 at 65th St. and heading down to Fruitridge Rd. to get on Hwy 99 can be a great way to avoid traffic from the ongoing construction.” –SACtoday editor (5)
“T Street is one of the best ways to get in + out of Midtown, be it on a bike or in a car.” –SACtoday editor (6)
Talk about hair-raising thrills.
The craziest thing you might catch SACtoday editor (7) trying out in the city is rafting down the American River. Whereas SACtoday editor (8) may try to one-up them by taking a trip near Tahoe to enjoy a day top roping.
The Events calendar calendar has a hold on us. SACtoday editor (9) is still hoping to experience a River Cats game — anyone free for the Fri., Aug. 26 game against the Reno Aces? SACtoday editor (10) already has eyes for the 32nd annual Chalk It Up Festival — a walk in Sacramento is even better when there are new pieces of art at every step.
If the weather plays nice, we’re taking the scenic route.
SACtoday editor (11) won’t say no to a windows down cruise along I-5 listening to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. SACtoday editor (12) enjoys the riverside views along the Jedediah Smith Memorial Trail.
