a normal city that is really under-rated. people call it cow-town yet in reality i have never seen a cow here before. people think it s small and the people are weird but it actually has many suburbs and communities, just as big or bigger than other fairly sized cities, about the same as San Diego or Portland or Orlando, etc. They also have an NBA team that everyone hates yet this year they actually made it much farther than the team everyone loves, the Lakers. It is predjudiced too much and you should come live here for a while before you criticize it you cheap bastards. LA is gay. Im out

1.The capital city of California.
2. One of the fastest growing cities in the US. Population to grow 4 million by the year 2020.
3. Home of the Kings of the NBA.

Sacramento is a really nice place to live. I just moved here couple of years ago from Philly and love this place. People who think this is a small city, they're dead wrong. From Elk Grove to Auburn, Greater Sacramento area will amaze you. Greater Sacramento (Sacramento County, Placer County, Yolo County, El dorado county) is fuckin huge!!! The suburbs, Roseville, Granite Bay, Rocklin etc, are a great place to raise your kids with nice schools. People here really love the Kings, and you wont know what i mean untill you actually go to a game. The weather is nice all year long. There's plenty to for entertainment: Clubs, bars... the whole nine yards. In another 20 years, this metro will be the envy of A LOT of other cities. Ignore all these other idiots here just hating.

Sacramento is the capital, that's right the capital of California. It is a big city, with an amazing downtown area, a nice suburban area, a notorious ghetto area, and yes, beautiful farmland with livestock such as cows.

Sac-Town was cited by Time Magazine as the most integrated city in the United States. The 2005-2007 census shows the population of The City of Trees to be 53% White, 16.1% Black, and 19.3% Asian. In addition, 24.8% of the population were Latino or Hispanic of any race.

The 91sickness is not part of the bay area, as the weather gets much hotter here, but we do get fucking hyphy.
The American River runs through Sac, creating spots for fishing, swimming, and drunken college partying.

Sacramento's basketball team is the

Sacramento Kings,

who have had a long-standing showdown with the Los Angeles Lakers

Sac is a mayor center of art and music, with museums and great local bands often playing at downtown venues.

Sacramento was ranked 38th in a list of the most populated US cities.

Definition: Not to be confused with DAVIS!!!!!!evil monkey has never been to Sacramento. Ghost Town? What the hell is that? There is as much in Sacramento and its surrounding areas as there is in San Diego or L.A. There are tons of clubs, bars, better restaurants, and everybody is moving here. I just moved from San Diego. There is crazy traffic, and no ghosts. Wow, evil monkey must travel here a lot.

A dark emotional space that everyone goes through during some point in their life.

City where the most alcohol is consumed in northern California. City where the weekend starts on Wednesday. Only city in california where everyone eats out for every meal.

The Capital of California which has no cows (not a cow town) and two rivers. The kids pass time by getting high and wasted. The city is located in Northern California and is honestly better than L.A. because there is less racial tention, less traffic, better air quality and the people are more down to earth. Sacramento is NOT part of the Bay Area and we are GLAD. Sac is a chill place to grow up but once you graduate its time to get out. Sacramento has a lot of trees and is a very beautiful city from above cause all you see is different shades of green. Don't judge the town from what you hear. Leave the talkin' for the kids from Sac.

In contrast to all of the negative hype regarding Sac, Sacramento is NOT small, ethnically and culturally restricted, full of only state government workers (although it IS the state capital, what do you expect??), absent of any "real" ghettos (just visit South Sac or Oak Park), or devoid of any "real" affluent areas ($5 million+ for homes in Fab 40s, downtown and Greenhaven). The downtown area is fucking crazy right now with all the redevelopment geared towards new lofts/housing, new bars/clubs (Empire, The Park), new offices (that are not government-related I might add), etc.

Sacramento is only boring to people who don't leave their fucking houses to actually experience what the hell's going on. And no, there's not only drinking and "lame-ass" bars to go to. There's second Saturday art walks downtown, Lipstick for those in the indie/underground music scene, AWESOME live shows at the Memorial and Crest, Taco Tuesdays!, not to mention Friday night in Chavez Park during the summer (Deftones played a free show there last summer). The suburbs suck ass where there's not much to do, but even in light of that there are still hella chill places to frequent in small pockets all over town (Shakers in Citrus Heights, Stingers in Arden, Stockman's in Fair Oaks, Brickworks in Oak Park, etc.). The music scene is kick-ass with all of the great local bands and hip-hop artists as well as major and indie label musicians that creep through town.

In spite of popular opinion, the only university in town, CSUS, is NOT inferior to UC Davis (sorry, we don't have drunken sorority sluts that like to show their shit off on MTV). This school just happens to actually be affordable to those of us who aren't dependent on our parent's money to pay for a higher education. UC Davis is only cool if you're studying science or fucking cows. For every other field that's actually applicable to the workforce CSUS is a MUCH better and relevant school.

The weather is ridiculous if you're not used to valley weather because you've never lived there. No it doesn't snow, why the fuck would it when it's based in the valley?! The weather's pretty decent most of the year (it is in Cali afterall), but July and August are ridiculous b/c it gets over 100 and January and February are pretty cold, but not that cold in comparison to the rest of the world (it doesn't even drop below 30!).
