You make a great shoulder to cry on

Places to have a good cry around Sacramento

City Editor Jordan here — and I am absolutely floored by the responses we’ve gotten regarding our recommendations on where to have a good cry. Not only are y’all hilarious — you have excellent ideas.

Here are some of my favorite responses we received on Instagram.

“This is so comprehensive all it’s missing for me is the food court restroom at Arden Fair and the K Street tunnel between Old Town and the mall.” — @reallyrealghost

“Sometimes we have a good cry on light rail, but then we think about our new trains on the way and feel a lot better!” — @ridesacrt

“The massive walnut tree on T St. between 4th & 5th gives great hugs.” — @sactree

“I think I’d cry at the Davis Arboretum. It can be beautiful enough to make your eyes well, also plenty of space to be brokenhearted and then maybe get some sympathy from telling your woes to a horse or cow.” — @cubapululu
