Book Synopsis Sacramento's Streetcars by : William Burg
Download or read book Sacramento's Streetcars written by William Burg and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until 1947, Sacramento's streetcars linked a bustling downtown district with residential neighborhoods, workplaces, and a growing series of suburbs. Starting with horse-drawn cars on Front Street, the streetcar system owned by the Pacific Gas and Electric Company expanded to include Midtown, Curtis Park, Land Park, Oak Park, and East Sacramento. But PG&E was not alone; two other companies ran streetcar routes downtown, along with suburban lines to West Sacramento, North Sacramento, Rio Linda, Elverta, Colonial Heights, and Colonial Acres. Sacramentans rode the cars to work, to school, to the state fair, and just about anywhere they wanted to go until the streetcars were replaced by buses owned by National City Lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its founding, K Street mirrored the entrepreneurial development of California's capital city. Initially the storefront for gold seekers trampling a path between the Sacramento River and Sutter's Fort, K Street soon became the hub of California's first stagecoach, railroad and riverboat networks. Over the years, K Street boasted saloons and vaudeville houses, the neon buzz of jazz clubs and movie theaters, as well as the finest hotels and department stores. For the postwar generation, K Street was synonymous with Christmas shopping and teenage cruising. From the Golden Eagle and Buddy Baer's to Weinstock's and the Alhambra Theatre, join historian William Burg as he chronicles the legacy of Sacramento's K Street, once a boulevard of aspirations and bustling commerce and now home to a spirit of renewal.

Book excerpt: Born of a country's collective desire for riches, Sacramento was resolute in its survival while other Gold Rush towns faded into history. It battled catastrophic fires, floods, and epidemics to become the original western hub and laid claim to the capital of a state that would one day have the world's fifth largest economy. The community's flourishing growth is not just a product of its economic viability, but a direct result of the cultural vibrance and fortitude of a diverse populace that remains the backbone of our country's most dynamic state.

Book Synopsis Sacramento's Newton Booth and Poverty Ridge by : Sean Manwaring
Download or read book Sacramento's Newton Booth and Poverty Ridge written by Sean Manwaring and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gold Rush-era Sacramento, turbulent floodwaters chased early citizens to a temporary island--a prominent hill near the Sacramento and American Rivers that came to be known as Poverty Ridge. In the ensuing years, as small farms developed across the southeastern corner of the original city grid, a two-room wooden schoolhouse was erected to serve the educational needs of surrounding families and was named in honor of California's 11th governor, Newton Booth. The surrounding neighborhood came to share the school's name. Since the 1850s, Poverty Ridge and Newton Booth have been home to Gold Rush pioneers, gifted vintners and brewers, devout nuns and nurses, celebrated authors, media giants, and larger-than-life politicians, all with visions of a better life--a California life.

Book Synopsis The Role of Streetcars in Sacramento by : Clint T. Holtzen
Download or read book The Role of Streetcars in Sacramento written by Clint T. Holtzen and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the history and purpose of streetcars in the United States, provides a review of literature related to the functions, costs, and benefits of streetcar projects, and uses case study and cost-benefit analysis to examine the potential of a streetcar alternative for a planned light rail project in Sacramento, California. The cost-benefit analysis reveals some marginal savings for a streetcar alternative, but also found that the project's benefits do not outweigh the initial investment over a 20-year life cycle. Despite the negative results of the analysis, the paper concludes that additional study is needed to determine whether the addition of land use benefits may return more positive results.

Book Synopsis History of Sacramento County, California by : William Ladd Willis
Download or read book History of Sacramento County, California written by William Ladd Willis and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1913 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SACRAMENTO COUNTY is named after the river upon which it is situated, and the latter was named by the Spanish Mexicans, Catholics, in honor of a Christian institution. The word differs from its English correspondent only in the addition of one letter. It would have been a graceful compliment to General Sutter if his own name, or the name New Helvetia, which he had bestowed upon this locality, had been given to the city. Helvetia is the classic name of Switzerland, Sutter's native country. This book tells the story of Sacramento County on more than 400 thrilling and entertaining pages.
