There’s an interesting city in California that is pretty major, but doesn’t typically get all of the glory like, say, Los Angeles or San Diego.

Enter the city of Sacramento, stage right.

California’s capital, The Big Tomato, The City of Trees. Whatever you like to call it, there are many reasons why nearly two and a half million people call this place home.

Anyone who’s lived there for some time can tell you some things to know about Sacramento: if a traffic light turns green, always look both ways before driving away, don’t park under a palm tree on a windy day, buy a beer passport so you can enjoy all the breweries, and even though there are so many people, it has a small town feel.

OLD SACRAMENTO AND THE EERIE PAST

Old Sacramento got hit with devastating floods in the mid-1850s, so the city decided to build things anew above ground.
