Sacramento, CA HyperLocal City Guide featuring Neighborhoods, Zip Codes and Yellow Pages.

Sacramento has had some interesting historical moments. For example, after a devastating flood in 1851, Gov. Stanford had the city grounds raised. So, first floors of buildings turned into basements, connected under the new streets by a series of tunnels -- “built in,” so to speak. These tunnels allegedly became opium dens before being filled in. The setting forms part of the Sacramento Underground, which is still available to tourists. True or not, it makes a great story. Come in the summer and try to catch the annual Trash Film Orgy, a screening of B-movies, monster movies, and exploitation “films.” Maybe they’ll show Monster from Bikini Beach.
