Starbucks was boarded up because of the BLM-related protests/riots. A lot of businesses in downtown Sacramento were affected. Thanks for the video of this beautiful city!
Love these walks. I am in lockdown in theUK and love seeing these US towns which keeps me interested while I run on a treadmill. Like the sideways glances too!
Sacramento is one of the places I'd really like to see. Thanks to this video, I can almost feel I'm there. I've been to 42 of the 50 state capitals and one day I'll make it to Sacramento!
Wow. That’s impressive in its own right. It’s a very chill city though I’m not sure what it’s like in normal times. I imagine old Sacramento is pretty crowded normal. Thanks for watching and commenting. - H
@@CityWalks Yep! Old Sac is nuts on weekends or if there's anything special going on downtown. Most of the main downtown core is currently office buildings and state properties but just a few streets east in Midtown and East Sacramento there are a lot of small streetscapes and alleyways that get a lot of foot traffic too. Nightlife is also really great in Sacramento
A lot of beautiful buildings, very clean city with green trees everywhere, love it, Congratulations you have a nice beautiful city!!! Thank you for sharing it with us Hugs from Mexico :D
Yeah, thanks. It's a cool historic area, much more so without a ton of other tourists. Thanks. Hey, did you ever use that Budapest footage I sent? Just curious. Thanks -H
Hi Henry, good to hear all's well. No not yet, we were waiting for the cooler weather so it seems a little more relevant. It may well go up in the next few weeks. All the best to you.
Thank you for talking and the fabulous information as you go through a bucket list place I want live and experience for a while, I live in Scotland. I feel a little sad seeing the place a little quiet..but I am positive it will be back to normal shortly!
Thanks for the walk-through in downtown Sacramento. I was raised in Sacramento, although there was no historic downtown then-it was just downtown. I was there during the 1955 flood, which was probably one of their worst, if not their worst, floods in modern times. In fact, we also had to abandoned our rental home to make way for Interstate 5 that same year. This one hour walk showed me more of downtown Sacramento than I'd seen during the 15 years I lived there. Of course, I didn't live in downtown Sac, but in one of the the areas that is now considered one of the worst places to live in the city. In watching another video about Sacramento, it turns out that the average rental property goes for a mere $1,800 a month in the city. So, while the apartments you deemed as not very upscale, they probably rented for at least that much, if not more, being located in the middle of downtown. And the average house in Sacramento sells for over $360,000, according to that other video. And Sac is considered one of the cheaper places to live in California-cheap being a relative term. This is also the first time I've seen Tower Bridge raised. Of course, I wasn't in downtown all that much. And Sacramento has been a port city for quite some time, originally established in 1947 (which surprised me), with the name changed to the Port of West Sacramento in 2008, having assumed managerial responsibility two years earlier. It's 79 nautical miles NW of San Fran. Again, thanks for the trip down sort-of memory lane. I always enjoy the pans, by the way, whether walking or hiking.
Hi Henry, Thanks for the tour. I’ve not been to Sacramento. My two cents about moving the camera around...it doesn’t bother me at all when you pan left, right, up or down. I haven’t fallen off the treadmill yet. I don’t notice anything distracting about the stabilization either. I love to see so many places I’ve never visited. It sure beats staring at the walls of my garage! Happy travels!
Welcome to my hometown there's some rough places and nicer places. We still have a mask mandate. The city of 🌳 trees. We still have a haze from the smoke and its still warm. Hope you have a nice time while your here.
I had a wonderful time. I LOVED all the trees. Yes, everywhere has it's faults and shiny places but we enjoyed our brief afternoon there. I'd love to go back. Thanks so much for the update. Stay safe and I hope you have clear skies again soon. -H
I always enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for continuing to make and share these! You asked for thoughts about whether you should continue your practice of panning/turning the camera to capture points of interest as you walk. I, for one, greatly appreciate that you do this, and I enjoy when you invite us to check out details of interest that catch your attention. Best wishes! -Alex
What a beautiful video. You came almost buy the place where I kissed my girlfriend, and later the 2nd time i was there I asked her to get married with me! Old Sac was our place and I hope so much I can go there soon to finally marry her! Thanks and a great video!
So much in this video. First I just want to say that I like the looking at things along the way. Elsewise it could be taking a walk anywhere. It is vey interesting to look at things as you go by them, and to learn a little about them. Secondly, I hate to think of the boarding up of those old wooden buildings. They usually board up because they expect the riots, looting, and fires. That area would not survive that kind of activity. Then too, I am glad you and your family (and us) got to see Sacramento before it is possibly ravaged downtown where all the things were boarded up. OR, maybe there was already something that happened that caused the windows to have to be boarded up. it is so disheartening. I hope Newsom provides adequate protection for it all. You guys stay safe. Oh yes, the cities with the tall buildings can't provide adequate sunshine to sustain trees. Something has to be done about that.
Hi there and thanks for the wonderful comment and your concern. I think the buildings were boarded up as a precaution. I saw little to no actual damage or sign of any kind of rioting nor did I feel unsafe at anytime in California, other than some fires. I think what we see in the news has been hyped for ratings and clicks to a large degree. Still, it pays to be aware and careful -H
Sacramento is nice! It’s growing so fast I think it’ll pass Fresno in the next 5 years or so to become California’s 5th biggest city. Given that so many people are leaving the Bay Area for Sacramento Region. It’s population is now at 521,000 and Fresno is only 538,000 but growth has been so much slower for Fresno.
I think the news has over played the Portland demonstrations but I'm not there so I can't say. Just judging by what I've heard from people that liver there. -H
It may have been mentioned and snswered previously among the comments here already, but I'm thinking that building mentioned in the video , B.P.O.E. .... would that possibly be the Brotherhood of Protective Order of the Elks organization building
I went to Sacramento four years ago. I was astonished at the beautiful building and huge trees in California State Capitol Park.😊
Thanks for sharing. I felt the same way. -H
Downtown Sacramento looks AMAZING at night!
Oooh, I can imagine. I'd like to go back and film some more -H
Spend 5 years downtown sac.. love this!
So glad you liked it. thanks for commenting. -H
Starbucks was boarded up because of the BLM-related protests/riots. A lot of businesses in downtown Sacramento were affected. Thanks for the video of this beautiful city!
I kind of figured. Thanks for the confirmation. I was really impressed with the city and would love to come back and spend more time -H
I love Sacramento. I can't wait to move back to Downtown. This time I'm staying for good.
I was only there for a day but it seemed really nice. Thanks for watching and commenting -H
Love these walks. I am in lockdown in theUK and love seeing these US towns which keeps me interested while I run on a treadmill. Like the sideways glances too!
Glad you like them!. I enjoy making them. -H
Neville Bell exactly what I do up in Scotland watch these whilst on the treadmill it's super so nice to see somewhere so far away from yourself

Can see crest theater where my baby dad use always wait for Me there when i get off light rail n we would go down town old sac n stuff
Nice. Interesting comment. Thanks so much -H
Sacramento is nice! It’s growing so fast I think it’ll pass Fresno in the next 5 years or so to become California’s 5th biggest city. Given that so many people are leaving the Bay Area for Sacramento Region. It’s population is now at 521,000 and Fresno is only 538,000 but growth has been so much slower for Fresno.
Interesting information. Thanks. We're getting a lot of new people in Montana as well. -H
Sacramento is a much larger city when you consider metro areas. Sacramento has large surrounding cities like Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom.
I live around here and don't video here 😀 I got a new camera coming though, when I get it I'll walk around downtown.
Can't wait to see it.! Would love to get a tour from a local. -H

Pandemic. -H
@@CityWalks okay, awesome 🤩 video!
@31:22 - Don't you hate when drivers stop their cars in front of you on the walkway when you are going through, disturbing your quiet walking?
Yeah, but it could be worse. Thanks for watching -H
Did you know there is a city under Sacramento? 🙂
