But pretty quiet! Honestly, downtown Sacramento on the weekend, during a hot summer, is a ghost town, at least during the day. But I'm told the French Film Festival drew good crowds. Still, the Concert in the Park - my first of the summer, I am shocked to say - wasn't exactly hoppin', and I can't say that the bands were much to speak of. I did like Red Host, though...an arch sort of grungy post-pop that was ear-catching.
And I went to the premier of the new B Street show, "Jack Goes Boating," which was fun.
Otherwise, it was hanging around Land Park, at a party and under the GF's orange tree. Extremely lazy, and extremely rewarding. Ah, the simple things. Nice to know there are things to do when the money runs low.
I took photos of this building at 14th and R, which I've been riding past on my way to Naked Lounge on occasion, and have meant to blog about - always "meaning" to blog - so I took some pictures. But what is the plan for this? I'm hearing "retail," but that hardly narrows it down. What's going in here, anyone? They're doing a beautiful job, and more traffic, foot and otherwise, will be nice in the still-lonely R Street Corridor.
So, what's the word on this place?

On the hot days, the action is at night. The French Film Festival was busy, and the Trash Film Orgy had its biggest night since opening night a few weeks ago.
If you've got the April copy of Midtown Monthly lying about, I wrote about it in there: it will be a mixed-use project, with for-sale residential above (around 14 units, I think) and restaurants below (a sake bar, a hof brau, and I think one small specialty market of some sort.) Parking will be on the Light Rail side. The building is shooting for LEED energy-efficiency certification.
It's a D&S Development project, same folks who did the condo project in Old Sac last year and the one at 21st and H the year before.
