Sutter Street's Hidden Charm

Those of us who live in Folsom already know the plethora of amenities that await us on Sutter Street. In addition to its western charm, the street is well known for many art stores, antique dealers, and eateries that make it such a fun place to shop or dine. Outsiders are taking notice as well - see this article in the Bee.

Traffic Still a Major Concern

The traffic in Folsom has not gotten any better. Unfortunately, not many solutions are in place to ease both residents and drivers alike. The historic district carries the brunt of the load, with high volumes of cars speeding through. The costs for traffic calming range from $6,000 to $300,000. More in the Bee.

Folsom Microbrewery Coming Soon

Folsom will soon be home to a new microbrew, Lockdown Brewing Company, home of the "Folsom Prison Brews". The label will look familiar to some - it's the guard tower to Folsom Prison! Partners Myles Deniz and Robert Whistler hope to have the microbrewery open on Sutter Street by December 2005. More in the Sacramento Bee.

Big Bowl Bash

California Board Life, a new skateboarding shop on Riley Street, held its first annual Folsom Bowl Bash, a competition of events that attracted 40 local skateboarders and many more spectators. The new event was held at Cummings Family Park, a new park in town for extreme sports enthusiasts. Check out the Folsom Telegraph for details.

Coming Soon...

Folsom is expanding at an exponential rate... one may have a hard time keeping track of the growth. The latest businesses to jump on board will be in the Trail Creek Crossing center at East Bidwell and Creekside Drive. Inside will be Quizno's, Cafe Latte, and a Game Cage (video game store).

The Little Engine That Could

Perhaps the most popular attraction at the Folsom City Lions Park is its miniature railroad track, along with the miniature train that goes along with it. Terry Gold (the "Choo Choo Man") has been operating the train for 14 years now, and hopes to expand it when the library is built. See the full story in the Bee.
