The soul of Sacramento

A capital that quietly grew world-changing things and stayed unpretentious about it.

Where Tower Records began

In 1960 a young man named Russ Solomon started selling records out of his father's Sacramento drugstore, and it grew into Tower Records, a global temple to music. The empire that shaped how a whole generation bought music started on a quiet capital-city corner.

The city of trees, with a farm at its edge

Sacramento sits under one of the densest urban tree canopies in the country and calls itself America's farm-to-fork capital, ringed by the farmland that feeds much of the state. It is a city that eats well and shades itself, without making a fuss about either.
