This is the best video of Sacramento. I see you did your research. A lot of people says Sacramento is a boring city but they don’t look at the rich history & the beautiful architectures. Incredible walk through. Even I don’t even know much of the building year it was build and I live here. You did great. 👍

Original old Sacramento was one story underground. You can still see the windows at grade level. There is a tour you can take under old Sacramento.

DPH gets pretty crazy at times. Grant always had a formidable football team. It was good to see at least a percentage of those kids getting a chance to have a life outside of the streets. Not many of the kids who grow up in that hood ever made it outta there. I wish we as a society would do something significant to help them aside from labelling them as gangsters, slapping on the handcuffs, and locking them in a cage.

I remember going to the railroad museum in old town Sacramento. It's been there for a long time. I was a kid when my family went there. That was probably in the 70's. Very fond memories. Growing up, I was always a train enthusiast. It was good to see those big locomotives.

This city looks nice and someone could be comfortable walking around and exploring. How interesting because I have heard a lot of stuff about it. Have a great day and safe travels

I live here since 1989 and you did a pretty good job. To do it correctly you need to do a 4-5hr video. Yes the crime is now really high and a good reason we are leaving. Plus home prices are crazy high. On the other hand, in the spring when everything is green it is a really nice place to be. ☺

Great video. I appreciate your factual analysis of what you see. Keep up the great videos.

Thank you for this video. I really enjoy watching your videos like always you bring a lot of knowledge to the world.

Lived near and worked right in downtown (OB 1, right across from the Capitol). I remember when the Tower Bridge got that coat of paint…we called it the “baby poop bridge”! 🤣. I used to occasionally go to the cafeteria in the basement of the Capitol, and whenever there were reports of earthquakes (California, after all), I would dash over to the Capitol and, right near the East doors, was a seismograph. Gorgeous building!

Another very good video, ❤ love 💕 you two!! Thanks for showing us around Sacramento

Also, where the lightrail tracks are on K Street is hollow. That was built over the original roads because it would flood. Did you know the author Mark Twain briefly lived in Sacramento?

Hi Joe Surprisingly this came out to be one of the best videos you posted in last few months. Some part of the city is so picturesque that it could be an ideal spot for canvass painters, particularly nature lovers. Because of so many big trees around everywhere, instead of concrete jungle which we see all over, Sacramento is a exemplary exception to it. Thanks for this stunningly beautiful video and trip both.

Besides the bridge, there's another famous tower associated with Sacramento: Tower Records, that started out there in the early 60s. Did you get a chance to check out the Railroad Museum during your visit? I got a chuckle at 15:42 seeing the Embassy Suites on the right side of the road--when I stayed there years ago I got in trouble for going barefoot in the lobby to the breakfast bar. Curious to see your exploration of Gold Country, I'm headed up there next week myself. Until next time, happy trails!

If you end up going further north, be sure to make a stop in Willows, California. I've never lived there. But it's one of the more charming small cities of the central valley, and they have the Thunderhill Raceway Park. I grew up in Esparto California, a small town located just outside Capay Valley, which is a pretty gorgeous landscape that also has the Cache Creek Casino Resort; the main moneymaker of Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation. The tribe has been very supportive of Esparto and its residents through yearly $1M donations to the school system, and the recent construction of both a health clinic and a park with a pool seen just as you enter town. Esparto is about 45 minutes west of Sacramento but there's all sorts of very small towns when you go futher up the valley. I recommend you check it out if you get the chance. There's also some wineries further north of there if you're in to that sort of thing.

Nice music! I love your videos.

G'day from Australia, have only recently come across your channel but have enjoyed watching previous video's of towns you have visited. Very entertaining and informative in your talks, one thing I do have to say is I am shocked at the amount of run down (refuse to use poverty) that the majority of places are, what is causing this, here in Australia we do have smaller rural towns that eventually shut down, but the big difference between here and the USA is population, Australia's population at present is 26 million on a land mass the same as mainland USA ?, please keep making these video's.

I used to live close by and I got the chance to sleep overnight on the Delta King paddle boat! Good times 😊

Hope you got to see the train museum- it’s the best one I’ve ever seen

Love it thank u ❤❤❤❤

Thanks for the tour of the capitol city of California. It seems more pleasant than larger cities in the state; the many trees add to its attractiveness.

I went to Newton Booth elementary school in 1957-58. Sacramento was @ 150,000 population then. Graduated from Luther Burbank High School in 1964. My how the city has grown over the years. It's always been beautiful.

Really good video. A lovely looking historical city. Great architecture but a pity about the crime. The capital building was impressive.

I misspent my youth and college years in Sacramento. You did a nice job of showing the Old Sac area. But potential first time visitors should know there's a heck of a lot more to Sacramento. Lots of crime, lots of gang activity, truly horrendous amount of homeless. And there are real, proper ghettos. I was a little bit concerned for your safety in some of those shots. On the other hand, the rivers that run through Sac add a lot of fun recreational opportunities. Keep up your good work!
