Hi Joe & Nic - on your next visit to Sac, please check out the 'fabulous 40s' - these streets have the most beautiful residential homes one could imagine, definitely right up your alley, no trip to Sac should miss that! Keep up the great work! Dan
I watch everyone of your blogs. I love Joe’s history & research on the cities & Nic’s personality! She cracks me up at least once in every video. You guys keep on doing what you do best!❤
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. 👍
Worked 10 years teaching HS Math at Grant HS in Sacramento. Beaten twice, one knife fight a one gun incident in classroom. Happy to have retired and left!
That's South Sac Iraq. I grew up in Stockton and you have to expect some riff raff...but you can never be caught slipping and be street smart too. But as a sub in the 80s and 90s, students respect how you project and handle yourself.
@@Runitup84 Right, I'm thinking of Florin. Yep we used to play Grant and North Highlands in football back in the80s. Thuggish schools, but so was Edison in South Stockton so no biggie. But none of these HS were as thuggish as Castlemont Oakland...those MFers came to fight rather than play ball! Castlemont had a good jazz funk band though.
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 live on the east side of Sacramento. I was hoping to get a glimpse of it in the video, but that is a lot to ask for sure. Great video. I chuckled at the crime stats. A few years back I was robbed and beaten to near death, so I am well acquainted with violence of the town.
@@Dave-ty2qp that’s true, but I think that allowing people to steal and go into stores and blatantly walk out with things and there’s no ramifications for this doesn’t help the situation at all. I think we had and still have pockets of various that are bad but it’s flowing into the good areas too
@@Gracie0229 I'm an old man now, but did a lot of business in California and took many vacations in that state. It truely saddens my heart to see how far it has fallen. I pray for those of you who live in that enviroment. I only hope you take the bull by the horns and teach it who the boss is soon. If you don't it will only get worse.
Loved the ending with the I street bridge. It is old but still works. We are hoping to get a new brige in that area soon. Thanks for showing Sac as it is, an amazing place with some problems. Downtown/ midtown in the spring with all the trees blooming is amazing.
Love how all your videos have educated commentary behind every city you visited along the us in California where I am from I thank you because some of the information I’ve learned about the cities 🏙️ opened my eyes to a lot and my mind to learning new things everyday and I love to travel the world like you guys ❤❤❤❤ keep up the great videos joe 🎉
Sacramento is a pretty nice place. You picked a good time to visit as the summer the heat can be sweltering. The California Railroad Museum is awesome. The locomotive you saw was only a fraction of the collection. The indoor museum is spectacular with many more trains and exhibits. For those who may not know, Sacramento was the beginning of the Transcontinental Railroad and the Central Pacific Line commissioned by President Lincoln going to the east over Donner Pass and the Sierra Nevada meeting up with the Union Pacific at Promontory Point, Utah. Well chronicled in the Steve Ambrose book: Nothing Like it in the World. Great video!
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.
you are 100 % Correct. Over 10,000 homeless in Sac. My hometown for 50 years. Exited 2021 Miss my family, but never the chaos, crime, traffic, over populating etc. Best of luck Sactown
Dang it's too bad you weren't in town next weekend when it's supposed to be 80 degrees. It's unusually cold this weekend probably 20 degrees below normal. The trees, blue sky, the snow capped mountains the city pops more on sunny days like it will be next week.
thank you thank you thank you for telling everyone what Sacramento means❤. Yes the Most Blessed Sacrament of our Lords Body and Blood. Your videos are very well done, good editing and love the info.
It was once like swamp land had to be drained, I did a lot of research on where people lives when things were segregated it was weird black people were where old Sac, then few blocks up 4th street was Asian district and it went on from there through downtown.
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. ☺
I was just in Sacramento with my brother. We had lunch at Fanny Ann's Saloon in old town. Also took a tour of Sutter's Fort SHM. Always enjoy your videos!
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip If you head up to Chico in Northern California checkout the Madison Bear Garden. Very cool and interesting place to have lunch. It is very similar to Fanny Ann's Saloon. It was one of my hangouts when I was going to college at CSU-Chico in the late 1970's. My oldest brother lives in Chico and my other brother lives in Oroville. I live up in Washington State.
I worked for the State for 16 years, and travelled to visit the five psych hospitals in the state. Every so often, we would go to Sacramento. Old Town was awesome, but dang ... there were so many homeless just laying on the street!
Joe & Nic's Road Trip, thanks for recording uploading Sacramento California, I have lived in Sacramento from Oct. 1974 to present April 2024 I seen manage changes while living in Sacramento. But I still love this city so beautiful. I do not really follow policies never have. But for 37 years I worked right downtown where you are walking to video record Sacramento. So, thanks for sharing.
The most recent point in time count over 10,000 homeless in Sacramento. Of course, those areas are not shown. Housing prices are fricking ridiculous. $ 1,600 to live in a 1bdrm shoebox. Peace Out Sac
Joe & Nic, if you’re driving to the Northcoast, don’t forget to drive through the Avenue of the Giants. It’s an amazing place. Thanks for sharing your adventure in Sac. We live Northeast of Sac. Enjoy your time in Cali although it’s being mismanaged by the governor.
I moved to Sacramento, from Albuquerque, and lived there for a few years, before moving to Manhattan ( I wanted to experience, the big 🍎 apple). I actually worked at the 🚒🔥 firehouse ( restaurant), which was shown. Anyways, after 8 years of living in Manhattan, I moved back to Sacramento, 10 years, ago. It was still very affordable, back then, but now it's gotten expensive, and it's growing very quickly. But overall, it's a nice city, to call home( and with restaurants, like ( Tres Hermanas, ), you can't go wrong!
Great videos, I will never be able to travel around the USA, not even in my dreams, so when you take us with you, we can see how other people live the ratio of work and poverty, traveling is nice but also tiring, I had visited Europe, In a tour, I had to get up early to be ready for the tour bus to take us around to see places, after my trip vacation I was exhausted ..😅. But I did have a good time ... Blessings to you and Nicole drive safe and keep up the good work😊😅😅😅
Joe and Nic watch all of your videos and you both have done a good job. I am 94 years old and was born at Mercy Hospital on Jay st, in 1929, Its to bad you cannot spend a couple of days here and let us know when you are coming so the city can greet you properly with a large party say at Raley field, 4 8 2024
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.
A wonderful video ! Old Sacramento is really nice, awesome old buildings ! I love the tree-lined streets, and there are some beautiful old homes. The bridge is amazing ! Thanks so much, Joe and Nic, enjoyable as always !😊💚
@Joe & Nic's Road Trip 🌉 walkabout 🤳🏻👍🏼. Very good 📹 shots Joey. Choo Choo 🚉 trains a beast 🦁🤣. 🍷Chimay's for everybody Joe's buying 😂 i'll take what Nicole's having some good ol'fashioned 🍾. 🥙🥓🍴😊🍛🍴
Was hoping you showed the rough areas as well. I mean, am from here but somehow I really wanted your opinion them just like the other areas. Thanks for the video.
The governor's office is in the Capitol, it's part of the remodel going on along with lawmakers and committee hearing rooms are. I live in Sacramento and brought some out of towners there in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor,he had a huge brown bear statue in front of the door.
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!
He was OK during the day, but that underpass... he was lucky there. In the 90's, walking across that bridge was no big deal, but now... Like I said, he was quite lucky. Not the city I knew as a kid.
👍Thanks. Always wondered about Sacramento -- which for the capital of celebrity-status California keeps itself fairly low key. That there are so few people about in this casual dash-cam is delightfully modest too. 👍 (Skimped on the mashed-potato portion size, though, mind.)
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?
I lived jn Sacramento for 22 years, visited Old Sac many, many times. I'm disappointed that you didn't visit the Railroad Museum, or mention that Sacramento is the west coast's original origin for the intercontinental railroad, and the golden spike which launched it's operation.
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
Wow that was another great adventure! Very nice place. I visited Hollywood area when I was 10 y.o. ummm 55 yrs ago😮! Dinner as always looked great and very reasonable on the bill,4 sure. U guys b safe in ur travels!
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!
If you visit the Sacramento tea roll flinger strum down at the steel hall you will see a new crowd serious mingle giant that has a dull stream window pale and a stain drop. I went there for the seemingly scratch cast and his employment sing side with my hay crawler trait.
Hello, I am Belgian, I am 37 years old and I have been watching your TH-cam channel for a long time. However, I don't often write comments. I'm very happy that you like Chimay as a beer. As a Belgian I'm flattered lol. Belgium produces a lot of different beers (350-400). Sorry for my English, I don't write very well. Your videos are a magnificent journey across the United States. Often dramatic but also wonderful. It was a little “hello” from Belgium! Good day
Always educational and entertaining... You are doing for America today what the Western movies did in the 1950s and 1960s: this time showcasing America (as it really is) to the world!!
Lol 😆 Same here in Santa Rosa, CA. The Sheriff helicopter is louder than any other and flies the lowest in circles over and over usually at dinner time 😜😜
Hi, anybody care to explain tipping to an Aussie. Australia does not have a culture of tipping. There are tips jars but these are usually to get rid of shrapnel. Australian’s believe that if a person is being paid a fair wage (between $25 and $40 per hour, adults and casual hospitality…more on Sundays and public holidays) that they are expected to do their job to an expected level, that being to see that the tables or customers they are responsible for are attended to with a conscientious attitude. They don’t have to be servile or forlock tugging, just polite and attentive. Joe and Nic in this vid paid $US90 for a upmarket ‘Pub’ meal (about $AUS140). The Bangers and Mash was at the high price end of a comparable meal in Oz. The going rate for a Bangers and Mash, peas, onions, gravy is $AUS20 ($US14) pretty much anywhere. You get three, nice pork or beef snags, and the sides. The general floor staff are getting around $AUS25 to $28 per hour on a normal day. Reasonable wages in anybody’s lingo. Hence it’s rare for an Aussie to tip staff unless the service is extraordinarily above what they should be doing anyway. From what I can see in the video all Joe and Nic did was sit down, order their tucker and on the bill there is mention of not only a tip, yet three different measures of a tip, yet the meal, for what it seemed was expensive (especially the grog). Either the management are scalping their staff by giving them low wages, or the establishment is paying $20+ph wages and diddling customers with the tipping or food and utilities is monstrously expensive. I know California is expensive but not that expensive.
You could’ve googled that information, man. Servers make not more than $15per hour and usually a lot less. Good service gets 15% tip technically on subtotal (before tax) but nobody does it that way. Great service gets 20%.
You bascially end up paying for a whole other meal or at least half of another one once you add in the tip. Ive been to places where the tipping started at 20% and we hardly ever saw our waiter. I left a 10% tip.
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!
I like the distinctive style of the bridge, but I don't like the color. I never knew that the name meant sacrament in Spanish or that the place had the most trees per capita. 😊
Cheers from Belgium where you can get yourself 6 Chimay Red for the price of one in Sacramento 😮😅. I would though not recommend anyone to drink as many 🥴😉
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.
The Gov office is on the new side in what is known as the horseshoe. It was just down a hallway from the rotunda. Unless, it got moved after Arnold. I worked there for many years..
Hi Joe. Just a question. How do you know all of the styles of buildings built & what time period they come from? I look at a building & appreciate it's beauty but have no idea about its heritage or architecture or history. Great video mate. Hi from AUS.
Old Sacramento is a great place, especially during the Jazz Festival, only negative of the area is the noise from the nearby freeway, still a very fun place to visit, great riverfront
I cringe when younger folks move into my neighborhood and decide to cut down the trees on their property. I see this in our downtown neighborhoods also. Sacramento looks beautiful and green. Thanks for another fine video, folks.
1 USD = 10 Swedish kronor. 😅 So if something cost 500 000 USD = 5 320 050 SKR. I love to compare. 😅 I got 15 000 SKR every month at best to live on. Its 1409 USD/month 😅😅😅 Crazy.
I'm half way through and hoping you get over to Land Park (where the zoo and other amusements are. Gorgeous park!). ETA: Hey while you are here you might want to check out Coloma (where gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill) near Placerville in El Dorado County.
I was in Old Sacramento a few years ago and they have horse carriage rides you can do! My favorite thing was seeing the carriage driver leaned back surfing his iPhone while waiting for customers😂
From what I saw in the video the city does a very good job taking care of their trees, that is what 🌲🌴 trees in a city should look like. Been a tree Doctor all my life.
Sacramento is not that far from Oakland . I am constantly amazed by the diversity of the USA. Lord Spoda should have had a degree in architecture . Lord and Lady Spoda are a real salt and pepper act .
I thought you mentioned a few videos ago you planned to visit Oakland and S.F. The Oakland video was truly shocking. I expected the next video to see San Francisco. Did you decide to skip it after seeing Oakland? Just wondering... If you did I wouldn't blame you. I live an hour north in Sonoma Co and would like to see you cover up here. I refuse to go to S.F. because it's worse than Oakland. I'm glad you made it out of Oakland safely!
Hi Joe & Nic - on your next visit to Sac, please check out the 'fabulous 40s' - these streets have the most beautiful residential homes one could imagine, definitely right up your alley, no trip to Sac should miss that!
Keep up the great work!

My only memory I have of that bridge is coming off the 5 and rolling across the bridge because my car stalled.

He was OK during the day, but that underpass... he was lucky there. In the 90's, walking across that bridge was no big deal, but now... Like I said, he was quite lucky. Not the city I knew as a kid.
@@twystedhumour that's funny. The underpass was exactly where I had my concern!
I'm sorry the weather didn't cooperate with you. We celebrate our rain, when we get it. This bext week is going to be in the 80's.
Great video. I appreciate your factual analysis of what you see. Keep up the great videos.
Old Ironsides used to be a real cool bar i that area some 20 years ago.
You seem to have found the one day when there were few other people walking around. Not normally like that. Glad you enjoyed your time in the city.
👍Thanks. Always wondered about Sacramento -- which for the capital of celebrity-status California keeps itself fairly low key. That there are so few people about in this casual dash-cam is delightfully modest too. 👍 (Skimped on the mashed-potato portion size, though, mind.)
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?
Thank you Joe and Nic for the guided virtual tours. Ya'll are the best! Stay safe on your journeys.🙂
Wonderful tour and a cool city!! Thanks for sharing.
I lived jn Sacramento for 22 years, visited Old Sac many, many times. I'm disappointed that you didn't visit the Railroad Museum, or mention that Sacramento is the west coast's original origin for the intercontinental railroad, and the golden spike which launched it's operation.
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
Next time try out the Fox & Goose for some British fare. Their bangers are great
Love Sacramento! The Crocker Museum is my favorite place to go there!
Home ❤️
excited for this! thanks!
At 27:40 of your video, I swear there's a figure that walks thru, upper right, you can see it best on a TV.....
Ah, Sacramento, my hometown, you should head up north on the coast and visit Ferndale, Trinidad, and Eureka Ca
Wow that was another great adventure! Very nice place. I visited Hollywood area when I was 10 y.o. ummm 55 yrs ago😮! Dinner as always looked great and very reasonable on the bill,4 sure. U guys b safe in ur travels!
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!
If you visit the Sacramento tea roll flinger strum down at the steel hall you will see a new crowd serious mingle giant that has a dull stream window pale and a stain drop. I went there for the seemingly scratch cast and his employment sing side with my hay crawler trait.
Hello, I am Belgian, I am 37 years old and I have been watching your TH-cam channel for a long time. However, I don't often write comments.
I'm very happy that you like Chimay as a beer. As a Belgian I'm flattered lol.
Belgium produces a lot of different beers (350-400). Sorry for my English, I don't write very well. Your videos are a magnificent journey across the United States. Often dramatic but also wonderful.
It was a little “hello” from Belgium! Good day
Chimay is my very favorite beer! :)
Hoegaarden - best beer ever. Hello from England.
😂😂😂😂 worse time to visit Sacramento, and you’re kinda lucky cause that place has bums all over hunkering down or at 12th st and e
Great Video of a Great City!
Always educational and entertaining...
You are doing for America today what the Western movies did in the 1950s and 1960s: this time showcasing America (as it really is) to the world!!

Stay there long enough and you’ll always here the pd helicopter
Lol 😆 Same here in Santa Rosa, CA. The Sheriff helicopter is louder than any other and flies the lowest in circles over and over usually at dinner time 😜😜

Hi, anybody care to explain tipping to an Aussie. Australia does not have a culture of tipping. There are tips jars but these are usually to get rid of shrapnel. Australian’s believe that if a person is being paid a fair wage (between $25 and $40 per hour, adults and casual hospitality…more on Sundays and public holidays) that they are expected to do their job to an expected level, that being to see that the tables or customers they are responsible for are attended to with a conscientious attitude. They don’t have to be servile or forlock tugging, just polite and attentive.
Joe and Nic in this vid paid $US90 for a upmarket ‘Pub’ meal (about $AUS140). The Bangers and Mash was at the high price end of a comparable meal in Oz. The going rate for a Bangers and Mash, peas, onions, gravy is $AUS20 ($US14) pretty much anywhere. You get three, nice pork or beef snags, and the sides.
The general floor staff are getting around $AUS25 to $28 per hour on a normal day. Reasonable wages in anybody’s lingo. Hence it’s rare for an Aussie to tip staff unless the service is extraordinarily above what they should be doing anyway.
From what I can see in the video all Joe and Nic did was sit down, order their tucker and on the bill there is mention of not only a tip, yet three different measures of a tip, yet the meal, for what it seemed was expensive (especially the grog).
Either the management are scalping their staff by giving them low wages, or the establishment is paying $20+ph wages and diddling customers with the tipping or food and utilities is monstrously expensive. I know California is expensive but not that expensive.
You could’ve googled that information, man. Servers make not more than $15per hour and usually a lot less. Good service gets 15% tip technically on subtotal (before tax) but nobody does it that way. Great service gets 20%.
You bascially end up paying for a whole other meal or at least half of another one once you add in the tip.
Ive been to places where the tipping started at 20% and we hardly ever saw our waiter. I left a 10% tip.
Rest in peace Mark Nichols Hobo Shoestring
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!
I like the distinctive style of the bridge, but I don't like the color.
I never knew that the name meant sacrament in Spanish or that the place had the most trees per capita. 😊
Cheers from Belgium where you can get yourself 6 Chimay Red for the price of one in Sacramento 😮😅. I would though not recommend anyone to drink as many 🥴😉
Right! Great beer, though. My favorite.
While you're here you should go to Davis. 12 miles away 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
YAAAAYYEEYAAYvis! They still got Sudwerkz there?
I love the statistics you give😊
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.
What a beautiful Capital! I love seeing Nicole getting her passport stamped in various states . Thanks for taking us along for the journey !
What is this passport thing?
You two enjoy Sacramento california.good place to live.🤔
What a contrast to Oakland lol.
I love your hair Nicole!
Joe & Nic Thank you i like your channel youtube
The Gov office is on the new side in what is known as the horseshoe. It was just down a hallway from the rotunda. Unless, it got moved after Arnold. I worked there for many years..
Hi Joe. Just a question. How do you know all of the styles of buildings built & what time period they come from? I look at a building & appreciate it's beauty but have no idea about its heritage or architecture or history. Great video mate. Hi from AUS.
He just takes a wild guess then looks it up on google and says "I knew it!" shakes his fist in the air and continues on.
And just think cities like that don't report all of their crimes
Old Sacramento is a great place, especially during the Jazz Festival, only negative of the area is the noise from the nearby freeway, still a very fun place to visit, great riverfront
The Jazz festival is long dead. It is a cruddy festival now where crud bands play Santana. Nobody likes Jazz anyway. It is a joke.
Wow that's too bad, used to be a great festival that drew tons of people
My home!!!!
I cringe when younger folks move into my neighborhood and decide to cut down the trees on their property. I see this in our downtown neighborhoods also. Sacramento looks beautiful and green. Thanks for another fine video, folks.
It's actually very illegal to do that. There is an upto $10k for doing so.
I live in northeast of Brasil, in a city called, FORTALEZA, capital of the estate of
CEARÁ.
And i Just Fell in love with SACRAMENTO !
1 USD = 10 Swedish kronor. 😅 So if something cost 500 000 USD = 5 320 050 SKR. I love to compare. 😅 I got 15 000 SKR every month at best to live on. Its 1409 USD/month 😅😅😅 Crazy.
I'm half way through and hoping you get over to Land Park (where the zoo and other amusements are. Gorgeous park!).
ETA: Hey while you are here you might want to check out Coloma (where gold was discovered at Sutter's Mill) near Placerville in El Dorado County.
Be sure to hit Cannery Row in Monterey if you head that way. Awesome
Sactown will also be the temporary home of the Oakland A's until their new stadium in Vegas opens!
I was in Old Sacramento a few years ago and they have horse carriage rides you can do! My favorite thing was seeing the carriage driver leaned back surfing his iPhone while waiting for customers😂
Really good video. A lovely looking historical city. Great architecture but a pity about the crime. The capital building was impressive.
From what I saw in the video the city does a very good job taking care of their trees, that is what 🌲🌴 trees in a city should look like. Been a tree Doctor all my life.
You would love it there, then. Trees everywhere, all different kinds.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Man don't tempt me, not fair, long story behind that 😁. Loved the city beautiful 😍 was that wooden streets in old pictures?
Nice to see you in my backyard. Thanks for the vlog of my hometown!
The best part of California are its smaller towns. Please visit towns in Placer County and Amador County and nearby counties
Watch out for the parking lot turkeys :D
Sacramento is not that far from Oakland . I am constantly amazed by the diversity of the USA. Lord Spoda should have had a degree in architecture . Lord and Lady Spoda are a real salt and pepper act .
I thought you mentioned a few videos ago you planned to visit Oakland and S.F.
The Oakland video was truly shocking. I expected the next video to see San Francisco. Did you decide to skip it after seeing Oakland? Just wondering... If you did I wouldn't blame you. I live an hour north in Sonoma Co and would like to see you cover up here. I refuse to go to S.F. because it's worse than Oakland. I'm glad you made it out of Oakland safely!
Awesome ,I was hoping you would get up in the gold rush town area ,have fun you two!..😎👍👍
