UC Davis project gives city new art installations, students hands-on experience by Brady Halbleib (CBS News)
UC Davis architecture students are creating spaces called follies—intentionally designed, artistic spaces in which people can gather—in downtown Davis. These public art installations pay homage to Davis’s history by taking inspiration from the structure of the Davis Farmers Market pavilion.
Have you tried Sacramento’s zestiest, crunchiest pickles? Meet Real Mojo Foods by Sean Timberlake (The Sacramento Bee)

Quick Bites
COLD BREW AT SHADY COFFEE & TEA IN ROSEVILLE
There are several options for a good cup of coffee in downtown Roseville, but Shady Coffee & Tea is one of my favorite spots to spend time in. There are plenty of seating options, from a large outdoor area to the cozy brick “cave” inside. I like to get the cold brew with brown sugar.
