CW68,
The reason it's not called 3 for $5 is because it would be MISLEADING. It would give the impression that you get three pizzas for $5 dollars, instead of three pizzas for $5 EACH. Plus, the 5-5-5 is a marketing ploy using graphics instead of words to clearly communicate what they're selling.
Get it? Cheers!

3-4-5 would work. I "get it" because, ironically, before moving to Sacto, I worked in consumer marketing for years. Last job was for a graphic design company that designed mostly food and beverage packaging, as well as logo and naming work. In fact, I'm a former product namer. As long as there was verbage both audibly, and in print, that stated something to the affect of, "$5 each," I'd be fine.

That is easy.
I wish there was a place to go after dinner or a movie to eat good desserts, maybe have a glass of wine, some coffee. Ettores has great desserts but isn't open in the evening. Rick's Dessert Diner downtown is a great place, would be nice to have something similar here.
I don't wish for more chain restaurants, more chain stores. Do we really want to look like every other city in America?

Nothing that common. Mostly it was different prescription drugs. To be honest, I don't really remember any of them as it was 5+ years ago. Some of them may not have ever gotten FDA approval. We did company naming, too, but again, nothing that I really remember. Alas, the NameSpark TM team evaporated when Primo Angeli shut it's doors after 30+ years. sniff sniff

the coming shopping center, "Paladio". There will also be "Anthology" a Tommy Bahama Store and others on par with them.
Confirmed via the powers that be who run the city.
Oh, so when the mall opens in 3008 then?

Here, here!
Ettores not open for the evenings???? Desert, yet closed for desert time..... fantastic business model.
Hmmmm..... well, somehow Starbucks made it and they close early, although not THAT early.
Starbucks, we need a Starbucks! When are we going to get a Starbucks!!!???? I have houses surounding my house, why am I not engulfed by Starbucks!!?? OK, I'm in a silly mood tonight.

I agree with Dominoes Pizza. I think that if they had a presense in Folsom or EDH, they would make a killing with Sunday and Monday Football coming up.
Also, I wish we had Sonics burger joint. I went to the one in Woodland for the first time and I loved the tase of the burgers.

I wish there was a Chick Fil-A place. I grew up with those in the south and they're great. It's cool they brought one to Roseville. A location in Folsom off Iron Point would CLEAN UP.

I have never been to Chik Filet, but I have heard a lot about it. what is so great about them and are they worth a trip to Roseville?

You ARE kidding, right? There are already EIGHT Starbucks in the 95630 zip code. Isn't that enough?
It would be if they stayed open late and had free wireless like all the other really cool coffee shops....

What was that place in San Dimas..... it was cool too. Had a small stage for bands, board games and cards everywhere, and multi-teared(sp?) seating. Also had a coffe "bar." This was durring the cigar boom, but they didn't sell many in that crowd.
