I am happy to report that the City of West Sac has finally cleared out the homeless encampment @ the Broderick Boat Ramp. The river is running very high this spring. Wouldn’t want all those taxpayers to get washed down the delta and on out into San Francisco Bay, now would we?
Here is that area a few years ago when they brought in the goats for weed control. From the looks of things now, it could stand another goat-grazing, pronto. But the absence of tents and trash is much appreciated.
Also, our venerable neighborhood bar “The Broderick” (founded in 1893 and only deep-cleaned once or twice in the ensuing nearly-century-and-a-half) has re-opened, rechristening itself as a burger joint to compete with nearby Burgers ‘n Brew. I will have to check it out. If they give you actual silverware (as opposed to a single solitary plastic spork) with your $15 lamb-burger-and-fries, then baby, I’m all in – deep-cleaning or no. Hey, I like a lotta ketchup on my fries and I don’t like picking them up with my fingers. So sue me.
Last but not least…
This just in: The Oakland A’s have agreed to make West Sac’s Sutter Health Park – just 6 blocks from 392 Midstream – their temporary home from 2025-2027 after their current lease expires while their new stadium in Vegas is being built.
I’m telling you, this could be a big boon to West Sac real estate. I mean, walking distance to @GoldenOneCenter (where the NBA’s Kings play) AND walking distance to see the A’s? C’mon man, this is freakin’ MLB here. (Unlike the woeful Rockies, who play their sorry brand of AAA baseball @CoorsField in Denver’s LoDo – AHEM.) Surely there’s an A’s utility infielder out there in need of a home-away-from-home – am I right? Fan reaction has been mixed, see here. But I, for one, am all in.
Bonus photo for Rockies die-hards.
