Juan Rodriguez - Sacramento Eats


Writing is a popular activity here at the coffee shop.

My family lives in Sacramento.

I Visit my family frequently, and sometimes they take me out. Mostly to eat, but we do other stuff to.

I’m going to create a page of my findings in Sacramento and the surrounding places.

I’ll add items alphabetically to this list. I’ll delete items I discover that are closed.
