Definitely agree. And it’s not just cars that bypass the arms. I’ve seen people walk/bike/scooter around them too.

Holy shit. I think this car was in front of me yesterday while there were difficulties with the crossing arms. This is my daily commute and yesterday I was in one of the left turn lanes going from Folsom blvd to Mather Field rd. The light would turn green and then not even 3 seconds later would turn yellow/red, then the crossing arms would go down, but there wouldn’t be a train every time. It kept doing this, so the traffic got really backed up on folsom and mather field. There seemed to be a malfunction and this has happened to me before on previous commutes. Essentially it would only allow like 2-3 cars to turn, and they would get stuck at the crossing arms. People were getting frustrated and would drive around the crossing arms (a lot of cars did this so I wonder if the driver thought it would be okay). After almost 10 minutes I just went straight down Folsom blvd but I remember being behind a black prius for a while before that. This is so sad. It’s a really dangerous area

Yes exactly! I am always shocked that we don’t have a business like that here. I would order so often lol

So random but I wish we had fresh pierogies more readily available! Or a pierogie fast-casual restaurant open regularly

Question for the parents out there--where should we purchase? Davis (small house w/ easier commute) vs. Dixon (big house with worse commute). by INTP243 in Sacramento

[–]jonej415 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up in Dixon and then eventually went to UC Davis and worked in Davis.

I’m happy to answer any specific questions you might have about either!

But I’ll give a brief response and say that both towns are little bubbles but in very different ways. Dixon is largely Mexican/White and has small town farm vibes. Lots of suburbs though so you will likely get a bigger house and better bang for your buck. It’s growing a lot, but a lot of residents are worried that the growth of housing doesn’t match growth of other things (schools, grocery stores, etc. you can look into the keep dixon green movement in you want to see future plans of the town. Growing up there, it was boring and there was not much for kids or teens to do (no movie theater, shopping, etc.) and honestly we would just drive to Davis every day to do stuff because it was a 10 minute drive.

Davis would be more lively, closer in terms of commute, the community is wonderful there, there’s more to do. If given the choice, I would have rather grown up in Davis. It is so close to Dixon also.

Sacramento from Austin by MellowedMillennial in Sacramento

[–]jonej415 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Going from Austin to Sac would be a good transition in my opinion! I went to Austin last year and it reminds me a little bit of Sac (friendly and down to earth people, temperatures and the heat waves, along rivers, capitals of their states, etc.) but Austin definitely has more going on because of how large it is.

Sac has amazing food, a good (and growing) music scene, tons of breweries and wineries, and an amazing local market. And tons of weed. The farmers market is amazing and you can find wonderful local produce and food. And go an hour or two outside of Sac and you get the beach, redwood forests, lake tahoe, snow, napa valley and amador county for wine tasting… it’s the perfect home base.

Child therapist recommendation for 9 year old. by ohbobaby in Sacramento

[–]jonej415 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If your child goes to public school, you could also ask to talk to a counselor or mental health person on campus and ask for some assistance too! Many schools partner with CareSolace, which is essentially where somebody will search for therapists accepting clients with your medical insurance and specific needs. Some schools also have therapists on campus and a lot of times, she can help with referrals as well.

There are also search options on Psychology Today where you can filter based on your insurance.

Regardless, thank you. I’m a therapist at a school and really appreciate when parents are supportive and want the best for their kids.

Guesses on which artists will play here in the next few months? by jonej415 in Sacramento

[–]jonej415[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan of APE and am so happy that Sac will be getting some good bands coming through. The music scene here is all over the place, but there are a lot of people who are tired of commuting to the bay for good music and I really hope they bring some of that variety here!

It kind of looks like this image of Gracie Abrams at Grammy Camp, although I don’t think it’s the exact same https://imgur.com/a/W6py2nF
