Let’s Be Fair
The Sacramento River Parkway levee is closed to public access. That’s a good thing. The closure means contractors for the Army Corps of Engineers are busy digging cutoff walls within the levee, burrowing anywhere from 35 to 135 feet below ground. The re-enforced levee will help protect Pocket, Greenhaven and the city from catastrophic floods.

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.
Senioritis Interrupted
The pandemic brought havoc to the high school class of 2020. Without knowing it, students had their final day on campus Friday, March 13. When Gov. Gavin Newsom announced California campuses would remain closed through the end of the academic year, schools canceled or postponed senior class events. Traditional rites of passage into adulthood were gone.
