For the past month I have mostly missed my precious big-farmers-market-under-the-freeway on Sunday mornings. Twice I have gone to the much smaller Tuesday Market at Fremont Park. This is just a small market (12-15 booths) in a one block park in an older downtown neighborhood. Parking can be an issue if you aren't able to walk more than a block, but I am able and I found a decent place each time. The prices are also a bit higher than the Sunday market. (Office workers have more money to spend? Who knows.) They do have gorgeous long beans with a few purple beans mixed in that I don't see under the freeway.
This morning the park playground was full of cute little kids and cute young moms. There were more kids and moms around the fountain in the middle of the park enjoying a sunny Sacramento day. This is an urban area with smallish Victorian high water bungalows. Not so much parking that one would choose to drive to that park. These young families had to walk to get there -- so they lived nearby. It is so nice to see young families living so close to downtown.
I don't know about schools in the area, but if there are enough kids the schools will be there. It is so nice to see our downtown/midtown as a place to raise a family. Sacramento has lots of neighborhood parks and they are one of the very nicest things about this small city.
