I always complain that there’s nothing special about Sacramento as a city.
The nightlife is too polite. The tasty restaurants are sparse. The public art stale and often outdated. Our sports teams embarrassing. The main employer in the city is the state, and it isn’t hiring. The terrain is flat and largely featureless. Our winters too cold and our summers too hot.
But hey, Hollywood once again reminds us that no matter the climate, LOVE can happen.
Here’s Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy, Knocked Up) and Gerard Butler (300) in a new RomCom, “The Ugly Truth,” which is SET IN SACRAMENTO!
If you caught the first three frames in the trailer, you can see the Tower Bridge, the Delta King, and a bit of Sacramento’s humble skyline.
I DO hope that is a Sacramento River Cats game.
I wonder if she’ll go on a date in Old Sac.
Go Sacramento.

Yay Hollywood! You did it again. You never fail to give our culture another validation of what true love looks like. Thanks to your influence, we have so many failed relationships and marriages. Go Holloywood!

I like Sacramento. I moved here almost five years ago from Redwood City and have never looked back. Of course, Redwood City was nicknamed “Deadwood City,” its only relatively recent claim to fame was as host of the Scott Peterson trial, and I cared too little about nightlife, “polite” or otherwise, to seek it out in San Francisco or anywhere else nearby. But as an incurably boring guy who joyfully spends most of his free time at home or, when he goes out, in the bowling alley, I’m delighted with the nearby shopping malls, the easy access to major freeways, the Asian food buffets (as my expanding waistline will testify), the good bowling, the beautiful trees and walking/biking trails all over the place, and even the weather, which I don’t find to be all that different or less pleasant than the Bay Area’s.
Call me crazy, but I like Sacramento and will probably continue to do so until the levees break and the great flood arrives and washes me away to oblivion.
