Pull up a chair and let's talk about Sacramento California. You already know that it is the capital of California but did you know that it has the 5th largest economy in the world and one of the fastest growing metropolitan regions in the country?
Located in the heart of northern California, Sacramento is a mere 85 miles from San Francisco to the west and 100 miles to Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east. Current construction of high-rise buildings offering luxurious living in the Downtown area, expansion of new employment centers and revitalization of older commercial corridors mark just some of the current advances Sacramento offers while the running of our great state is where the focal point is located.
This is home to the Sacramento Kings Basketball team, the Sacramento Monarch Women's Basketball team and our minor league Baseball, River Cats team.
When the forty-niners journeyed to the Sierra foothills in search of gold more than 150 years ago, many stopped on the way and decided to stay in Sacramento. The qualities that made Sacramento an attractive seat of commerce back then are still compelling today. Sacramento is home to high tech manufacturers, software developers, biotechnology and medical research laboratories, food processors, medical equipment manufacturers, call centers and distribution facilities.
Old Sacramento, a 28 acres historic waterfront (on the Sacramento River) park with 100 shops, restaurants, and museums can be reached
by a pedestrian tunnel from the Downtown Plaza across hwy 5. Old Sac is a national Historic Landmark with wooden sidewalks, horse-drawn carriages, and dozens of restored historic buildings which are forever frozen in the late 19th century. When wandering through Old Sacramento, the Delta King, a historic 5 deck riverboat that once hauled passengers and provisions from Sacramento to San Francisco is now stationary on the River for you to taste a little of the past along with the Delta Queen. The Red Hat Ladies recently took a tour on the Delta Queen and had a wonderful time.
