  My Sacramento is full of people that are caring and nice. I live on the south side of Sac. To me, I think the south is the best part of Sacramento. Downtown is a very great place to visit. I’m talking about the best experience you will ever have because there is a lot of fun places like the park, stores, and we have some pretty good food restaurants. Did I mention our downtown and the whole city is very clean, I mean you could lick the ground if you wanted to. There are cool events you can go to like the car shows, and concerts. Old Sacramento is very historic, the museums are nice, and the weather is beautiful 269 sunny days were talking. Also, students can ride buses and trains for free!


Sike! What, did you think that Sacramento is a wonderland or Disneyland? No, it’s not. It’s ok, but it’s not at the same time. Trash, and bottles being dropped on the nice concrete everywhere in downtown and throughout the whole city. Homeless people trying to get food and money and are sleeping in tents at night are everywhere. Drug-affiliated people selling and taking drugs. Crime and violence every time you snap your fingers. Gangs being stupid. In my neighborhood, cars flying pass going 60 mph in a 10 mph spot. Grown and young people think that they are all that or think that they are gangbangers knowing they aren’t. Yeah, I know this is my hometown and I love it so much, but man it is really not that good out here. 


It’s crazy how people would lie to make other people come to visit or stay knowing it is not that magnificent like how they showed Sacramento on commercials. They didn’t even show African Americans, Mexicans, Asians, and other races. They only showed whites so tourists can think that it’s just a white-filled, dream city. But it is not. There are all kinds of races in Sacramento. People want to take over this city and we can’t let them. Tourist needs to see the real Sacramento. Not even just Sacramento, other cities too. This is a big problem everywhere. What needs to be done is a real commercial or article stating the real facts about Sac and how it really is. Of course, there is gonna be some fantasy things about it but please add the real stuff too, don’t just be like “oh yeah this is the best city you can ever dream of,” because it’s not. The truth about Sacramento is that it is not like a perfect dream home you always wanted to buy or live in. People always wanted other people to be someone they’re not, now they are doing the same thing to cities

Whoever is reading this and might be a tourist or just a person, my message to you is do not believe all the facts about Sac that are given to you.

what inspired me to write this piece was another artice. What I hope to get from it is a good review and hope people who read it research more about these cities before they go visit or live. Also to not just believe what any commercial or article says about a city.
