wow! Just found your yt channel. I grew up on Ralston Rd, off of Bell St. On Saturdays..1957, my Dad would bring me to Iceland for ice skating lessons, then to skate after lessons. I was born in 1949, went to Howe Avenue, then on to Encina High school. Those times skating at Iceland were some of the happiest in my life. Now live in Nashville, TN. Miss Sacramento...it was a great place to grow up in.
A walk down memory lane! I was born (1940) and raised in North Sacramento, graduating from Norte del Rio (1957) after a year at Grant Union High School. I often drive down Del Paso Boulevard and remember all the good times at the two skating rinks! So glad to see a little spit and polish being applied to my old stomping grounds!
Oh yes, My family moved to 2680 Hawthorne St. from Gardenland in 1955 or 6. I still own the home and have kept our original party line Wabash (925) 9449 telephone number out of nostalgia. It doesn't even have a phone hooked up to it. At 73 Reality is finally beginning to set in as I am getting ready to finally let it go. I was a volunteer and worked part time at the Fire Department until the merger took place around 1964. My dad and mom were a part of the North Sacramento business community as partneship owner's of Frank and Andy's Hauf Brau right on the corner of Arden Way, Del Paso Blvd., and Grove Ave. Better food than Sam's.John AndersonNDR Class 1961
I did my residency program at the old, no longer in existence, Community Hospital of North Sacramento, back in the early '80's. I loved this neighborhood!
I grew up in North Sacramento, graduated from Norte del Rio in 1964. It was sad to see it's decline. I would love to take my grand kids to my old neighborhood.
Vienna Van Ginkel these folks never lived when it went to hell. shit they wouldn't stand on grand to their day because I live here were the white folks at
My father started building our home on Claire Ave. in the late 40's, had huge garden, big front yard, and everyone in the neighbor hood were good people and real friends. There was no crime to speak of, I went to Robla elementary school, 2 years at Rio Linda, Junior High then was moved to Del Paso junior high, then graduated from GUHS. Very few fights, got burgers and fries across the street a Lou's Burgers (the best burgers around). Any way Del Paso Heights was a normal family place back then. Down town Del Paso, had Spudnuts, real 5 and dimes. Liquor store, Stop-n-shop food store, barber shop, and many more small time things., was still good when we moved away in 1963. Good times were had back then. Good bye old friend, Del Paso Heights
Just love Del Paso. The phantom galleries were so cool. Son of Bean. Uptown Cafe. Mama Kim. Just wish the city would spend sometime over in this neighborhood. Thanks Phil for this great piece.
I learned to ice skate at Iceland in 1952. My folks and I moved to North Sac to Ellen st in 1948. Moved again to West El Camino and Grove in 1950. I went to the North Sacramento School for kindergarten, then to Our Lady of Fatima for grades 1-8, then to Las Palmas Jr Hi, then to Norte del Rio, graduating in 1961. This documentary brought back memories of swimming at Woodlake Swim Club, Skating at Iceland and Senator Rollerdrome, Western movies at the Del Paso Theater on Wednesday afternoons ending with a free popsicle, movies at the Grande Theater, movies at the Starlite Drive-In, steak dinners at Lil Joes for $0.99.
My dad move us to Sacramento in 64. He was a crane operator for Peter Kiewit that constructed the W X 29 30th freeways. My dad played hocky at Iceland and I played cards with Little Joe and Pop Lane. So many great people in N Sac.
It’s such an interesting place. I lived there and it was really bad. The gangs, prostitution, drug dealers, and tons of crime. But, you drive around and see all these neat old buildings that are boarded up and abandoned.
The only time my friends and I went Iceskating at that rink. I was a senior in HS 1993, I got my truck broken into. All my cd’s and my stereo stolen. We were from Colfax. This ice rink was the only one around. We used to drive to sac to go to the movies and miniature golfing. Man we drove everywhere. Auburn only had 2 screens.
Mary Richardson ha I grew up on high st never have i met a lady with a skin color like u no offense but you never grew up in dph were black not white idk wht u say come to haggin park were we hang ever week and see from 2000 to 2019 I have yet to meet a white lady like u
I used to go to Breakfast at Lil joe,s with my Dad on Saturday's before we went fishing at discovery Park !! My Dad, uncle's, ants, grandparents came to Sacramento in 1935 during the great depression and camped in a hooverville transient camp where Del paso boulevard crosses the American River !!! 🇺🇸👍
Impressive Tom, that migration shaped North Sac into what it used to be. They were a great generation. Lil' Joes? Same class as George, graduating "76". We were camp counselors our Jr year, those kids had no clue.
When I lived in Sacramento I did a lot of community work in Del Paso. The code in this piece is very sad. "Bring it back" and other language. So basically, you gentrifie the neighborhood, right. Because I did not see very many ppl who look like the ppl served in Del Paso... SAD BUT TYPICAL
What exactly do the people of Del Paso Heights look like? I ask because I'm a resident of Del Paso Heights and I'm curious how you think I should look.
sk s...Yes it is Del Paso. I live within walking distance to most of the shots in this video. Del Paso Heights is IN north Sacramento. It's not it's own city or town, its a specific community or area. Like a nick name so to speak. It's what North Highlands is to Citrus Heights.
"...you can tell they're not from N. Sac just people who have seen n sac through the years." What are you even talking about? You sound like you wouldn't even be able to point out del Paso on a map! Those "old white people" own businesses on Del Paso Blvd and are District 2 council members/representatives. Do you even know what you're commenting on? Do you even know where Sacramento is?
Born and raised in NorCal. Lived in Sacramento for over 7 years. Volunteered with the Roberts Family Development Center for years, creating and running after school programs at the middle schools in the Heights. So yeah I know exactly what I am talking about.
We have owned Hanna's Appliances since the early 80s, we had a booming business untying the Arden/Garden connector. People go from one day to the other by flying throw Arden. People are scared to park and cats are always getting hit.

Nicely done little documentary on Del Paso. Thumbs up.
Nicely done sir! I always wondered what the eff happened to that area-so much potential.

what a wonderful little production! Really nice effort all around. And so much cool stuff!

I remember that hospital. Grandpa passed away there. I was a little kid but I remember it
Lovely video! One tiny correction: MacKenzie deigned Cypress Point, not Pebble Beach.

Beautifully done! So interesting. I never knew. Raised in Rio Linda since 1971 - Thanks for educating us.

Very interesting history.
You remember Wallys Waterworld used to be an old roller skating rink and I can’t remember what the name of the rollerskating rink was
What is the whistling song on this?
I'm Norte Del Rio 1976, hit me up. Love to catch up, share, the last half century.
@@laurenbryant521 I graduated Norte in 73.

sms725841 are you from north sac because I have yet to see any white sane person here unless there a meth fein.
We have owned Hanna's Appliances since the early 80s, we had a booming business untying the
Arden/Garden connector. People go from one day to the other by flying throw Arden. People are scared to park and cats are always getting hit.
I used to get washer & dryer parts from Hanna's in the late 80's! Ha.
Very classic, highways cutting off communities and isolating them.
Back in the day you could drive down to the American River and camp there as long as you wanted.
😔💔
Del pass is nasty now
*I used to play on a pool league team on Del Paso, now all the bars on that street that had pool tables are gone!*
