Biking Around Roseville

My roommate and I decided to take a little adventure when we picked up his car this morning. He got on his skateboard and I took my bike on a 7 mile trek to his office. Since we didn't get run over by any cars on the way, I continued on my bike ride and chose to go on a few roads that I had never been on. I crossed over Highway 65 from Rocklin and rode out to Thunder Valley Casino and turned left where I found the Placer County Landfill. Although I didn't go in, I've always wondered where it was and love the fact that Roseville has the "One Big Bin" program. That basically means that all of my trash and recyclables go into a single bin, then they sort it once it gets to the landfill (video below). The 19 mile bike ride was a great workout and a good way to see new the "sights."

Roseville Galleria - Rebuilding Together

Image
Just a quick post to show pictures of the newly reopened Roseville Galleria (as you may recall I helped break the news on Sunday ). Only 41 stores open today, although about 70 have permits that basically say they can open when they are ready.  A few more, including Banana Republic will be opening tomorrow.  In speaking with a sales associate at GAP, they confirmed my suspicions that the person that started the fire (okay "suspected" arsonist) did not come out wearing GAP clothing as he originally claimed.  It was most likely Anchor Blue or a similar store.  The mall did have a smell a little bit like smoke and cleaning products, but overall was clean and comfortable.  The wall that has been constructed to block off one section includes quotes that were written on the Galleria's Facebook page .

Perspectives 2012 and Elevendy

Image
Thursday was a day of business and networking. I started off at the Sacramento Convention Center hearing five amazing speakers, all with a different perspective at the Sacramento Metro Chamber's Perspectives 2012 . What did I learn from listening to Peter Sheahan , Arianna Huffington , Vicente Fox , Howie Long and Dick Cheney ? In a sentence, to continually innovate, ask questions and strive for change. Yes some focused on business, others on politics and their personal story, but it all broke down to looking at a situation from a new perspective and not settling for the status quo, even in the face of opposition. Perhaps the most inspirational quote of the day came from former President of Mexico, Vicente Fox ... "The American Dream is better termed a Dream of the Americas . We all share it." Arianna Huffington also had a good one, "Failure is not the opposite of success, it is a stepping stone to success." After Perspectives I headed back out to Rosevill...

Food Trucks!

Top: Wicked'wich; Bottom: Drewski's I had a fantastic time at Future Ford in Roseville tonight during the Food Truck Roundup . This weekly event brings together all of Sacramento's gourmet food trucks to a single place, allowing people like me to get a taste of what they have to offer. Since I had already had Mini Burger Truck ( see blog post ), I decided to try out three other trucks: Drewski's , Mama Kim's and Wicked'wich . All of the food was delicious. @MamaKimOnTheGo offers truly gourmet food, I had a fresh cream puff thanks to @YetAnotherSusan . @DrewskisHotRod and @WichOnWheels both make amazing sandwiches, @lttlewys and I split sandwiches so we could try both (Pastrami and Korean Beef).
