Jackie’s Back
Musician and singer-songwriter Jackie Greene returns to Sacramento with his signature blend of rock, blues and country for this summer’s Pops in the Park. But this year, due to social-distancing protocols, the annual neighborhood event will be different. The reimagined concert will be live-streamed Saturday, June 6, via the Pops in the Park Facebook page.
Master Class
Bill Harms is an artist and craftsman who studied with a master in Germany. In 1957, Harms migrated to New York with his parents and siblings. A year later, they crossed the country by bus and landed in Sacramento.
“We got out on L Street where the Greyhound bus station was,” Harms says. His first impression was a sleepy village. But the family soon found an apartment at 23rd and G streets, and “that’s when we started loving the area.”
Bringing Power To The Pets
When the owner of a Tahoe Park rental home abruptly sold the house, Kelly Cunningham and her 37-pound Australian shepherd mix found themselves unexpectedly searching for a new place to live.
“I started looking for housing and was completely dismayed,” Cunningham says. “There was a scarcity in rentals that would take pets, specifically a 37-pound dog.”
Best Feline Friend
After the death of her husband in 1998, Carol Stirnaman needed something to occupy her time.
Always a pet lover, the Sacramento-born resident considered volunteering at a local animal shelter. “I was looking for some type of volunteer work and I wanted it to be with animals,” she says. “I had cats and dogs all my life. I’m one of those people who just falls in love with animals.”
Wow Factor
Similar to a scene in a Nancy Drew mystery novel, homeowner Cathy Skeen pushes open a secret door concealed within a library bookcase and walks through the hidden passageway.
What’s on the other side? Another complete house.
