[edit] Demographic Information

Is there a way to find demographic information on Sacramento's neighborhoods. I'm trying to start neighborhood pages--very incomplete so far and the articles that are started are VERY basic but this would add some interesting info about diversity, etc (if it is even kept track of??)

Contact KCRA Channel 3 or check their website. I know they have some demogrphics. If not try The Sac PD or Chamber of Commerce or even Sac City Hall.--Amadscientist 20:10, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

There might be some informaton on the Sacramento Council of Governments website: http://www.sacog.org/ --DevinCook 04:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] climate

seems that some of data on the climate section is a little inacturate according to this http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/wrh/techMemos/272.pdf

i would think the nws would be quite a bit more accurate then the source currently being sited.

[edit] Arts section

If you would like, Amadscientist, we could make a whole article for Arts in Sacramento, California or Culture in Sacramento, California. Do you think that's a good idea? I think culture would be more standard and we could get sports and notable people out of that section. Basar 23:12, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Just saw this today. Uhm....to be honest, there certainly is enough there for it. However I would want to look at other city pages to see how else it has been done. I like the idea, but would still want something noted on the main page. What do you think?--Amadscientist 09:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Ya, I think what you already have on the main page should stay, and it could simply be expanded on in its own page, that is, if you want to expand it. My three favorite city articles, San Francisco, Boston, and New York City all have a similar setup. Basar 09:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I have started a subpage in my sandbox to work on for Arts in Sacramento, California. I will decide on a finished page title as I work on it. It may very well end up as a culture page.--Amadscientist 00:59, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is this right?

"In the early 1990s, Mayor Joe Serna attempted to lure the Los Angeles Raiders football team to Sacramento, selling $50 million cents in bonds as earnest money."

50 million cents? or dollars?

[edit] City picture

What keeps happening? Everytime somebody puts a good picture of Sacramento on the page, it keeps going back to the current and crappy one. I don't have a good picture of Sacramento, but somebody really needs to put a better one up. This one serves the city no justice. Soy Milk Jim (talk) 07:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

What does everyone think of this?

I think it's a cool picture, but I don't feel like it captures what Sacramento really looks like. I want all the buildings and stuff in there. I know it seems like I'm complaining about this and not providing any pictures of my own, but all mine suck and I don't live in Sacramento so it's hard to get pictures of it. I realize you (Xde 13) have provided a lot of good pictures for Sacramento and I thank you for that. But I just feel like we can get a really good one that really shows what the city looks like. Until then, I'll continue trying to get a good picture whenever I go to Sacramento, which really isn't that often though. Soy Milk Jim (talk) 06:40, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
