1. A Leatherby's Ice Cream Parlor that stays opened late.
2. A Marie Calender's Restaurant that stays opened late.
These establishments would do well in Folsom.
No to Harbor Freight....their tools a cheap garbage and will break on the job. A tool shop that sells only Snap On, SK, Mac or U.S. made Craftman tools would be better.

How about a real department store Nordstroms/Macy's, etc. so the wife doesn't have to drive to Roseville and so our tax dollars stay here?
Less chain restaurants, more locally owned, locally sourced restaurants (although we are pretty lucky in Folsom to have many great choices already). One chain from down south I miss is Pat and Oscars.... Maybe a Philz Coffee?
A Firestones Grill (if you have ever been to San Luis Obispo, you know what I am talking about).

More arts, culture, free events. Sidewalk astronomy (anybody seeing how amazing Venus and Jupiter -plus the moon no less!- is lately?), sidewalk chalk art events, open poetry nights, public displays of art that would not be considered graffiti.(The evening summer concerts here in Folsom are good start towards that idea.)
Folsom has a lot of alcohol establishments, lots of restaurants to eat at and a lot of sports opportunities so those three things are not currently high on my list of what Folsom needs.

A good artisan bakery. Hard to believe there is no place nearby to get good crusty bread.

Hey - we just got on around the corner in Citrus Heights on greenback opposite Lowes....it is like 10-15 minutes away- much better than getting over to Roseville.
I didn't know that. I've been going to Roseville or Sac depending on what other runs I can combine.

Just like anything else they have a variety of offerings. If you buy the cheapest one and expect to use it every day in your profession you'll get the expected result. But honestly most of the local tool rental companies have gone out of business because you can buy tools at Harbor Freight for less than renting one. And if you only use it once or twice its perfect. They also have a great selection of air tools. I have a 750 ft/lb mid range impact that I've used for years. Works great and only $150.

Lucille's - can never have enough BBQ
A desert diner like Rick's in Midtown. Please no more damn cupcake and yogurt shops.

This will sound pretty random but I'd love to get a public art project under the Leidesdorff underpass. I've always thought some kind of LED light display sort of like this would be so cool
Also, Folsom needs toilet-to-tap water recycling

- Lower speed limits that could be enforced by the CVC (our streets are generally too wide to qualify)
I completely agree!
Most of the roads are like race tracks. I clocked someone going 70 mph+ on E Bidwell the other evening.
Whoever designed the roads, designed them for a much lower population. It's ridiculous that there are only 2 roads that cross the entire town from 50 to across the river.
I would say the biggest thing that Folsom needs is a new city council
I agree with this as well!
I'm fine with having stores in other locations than the historic district. Actually, I prefer it. I rarely go over there due to limited parking.
So for starters:
Crackerbarrel
Gunthers
Ettores
Chocolate Fish Coffee
I've always thought we needed more unique, independent restraurants but it seems most Folsomites want to be just like every other suburb...sigh...
I'd like to see some of the smooth jazz people come to town.
We need a venue that is comparable to the Red Lion in Sacramento

All of our water is "recycled". Its treated by a plant south of Sacramento and released back into the river. Its then picked up downstream by other communities, farmers, etc and processed as fresh water. It also contributes to the delta flow which reduces the amount of water required to be released from the dam.
