I miss the old time feel of Folsom.

BTW - I miss Dan Dummett, from Sutter Street Grill, the original owner. He's alive and cantankerous but just retired.

How about ACE Hardware? It was so easy and fast to walk in and know exactly where to find that rare bolt or screw. Know you have to go to Wal Mart, wait in line for 1/2 hour and hope you don't get ran over in the parking lot on the way out.

I am embarressed by the cities lack of sensitivity toward the individual citizen and allow the mob rule to direct city policy. I see this in the fight over the development south of 50 and what happened to the remains of Kemp Park (now the sports complex).
I would like to see a citizen Mayor and city councel members ( not realtors, bankers, developers, etc). Where are the retired planners, the stay at home moms.
Sorry to get so phylosophical about this, it just struck a nerve when I read this.

I miss that level of service. You go into Lowes or Home Depot with an odd request and they just can't help you unless it's part of their standard isles.
I have the same issue with auto-parts stores. "No, this is off a 60's racecar, it won't be in your computer, trust me".

When "Scott Road"...now E. Bidwell...was just a two lane road out to Highway 50.
The OLD Lucky's grocery store...before the DMV and the skating rink.
Model Pharmacy
When the only traffic light was located on Sutter Street.

While I'm very happy with my life as an adult, what I miss most about Folsom isn't any particular store or item, but rather it's the fun childhood I had growing up here. We were probably trespassing, but I remember playing with my friends in the oak covered hills that are now American River Canyon North. I remember 4 wheeling down along Lake Natoma to get to a place to hang out with friends. I remember getting 35 cent ice cream cones at Thrifty. I remember riding bicycles from one end of town to the other, stopping at Negro Bar for a swim to cool off and then getting back on our bikes and riding over to Peppermint Patty's on Sutter for an ice cream. I remember my dad starting to teach me how to drive when I was 14 by having my drive in reverse all around the office park at the western end of Blue Ravine. I remember going to my first football game at the old high school, with the lights shining and seemingly everybody in town in attendance. It was a good childhood.

I remember all of those, AND the Royal Market, too!
