Wow, there is something to be said about not having gone into downtown Sacramento at night for awhile. Maybe it is just my inability to retain environmental factors lately but when did the illiumination of the tower bridge go RED? It is painted gold I know this – for sure. It really was interesting looking glowing red. It was eerie in a way driving over it and looking up out of the open window. I wonder if it was for Valentines day? Will it be green for St Patricks Day? I am so behind in the current downtown culture and night life too. And I do not really care! Oh oh my mom warned me about this – I am old LOL!
Then there are the streets that use to end but now go through. For years a drive straight down a street would lead to a forced right turn. Eh oh why did we end up here having to turn left? Duh – the street goes two blocks farther now. How much bigger can tree be in two years? Big enough to block that good shot you expected of the Capitol dome. When did they install the super bright lights on the walk? Why are there only homeless and drunk young people in the park? They were always there but mixed with other sorts of folks too. Where did all the other people go? The movie go-ers, the people out for an evening stroll? I do not remember feeling, well, scared as much down here- downtown.
