Here’s what to know: Pinning down pie orders Real Pie Company, Freeport Bakery, Faria Bakery and Upper Crust Baking are taking pre-orders for Thanksgiving pies . Most cut-off dates fall between Nov. 18 and Nov. 21, giving bakeries some leeway to prepare for the holiday. Ikeda’s, recently named the best pie shop in America by USA Today, will sell pies on a first-come, first-serve basis at its Auburn and Davis locations. Turkeys to-go Corti Brothers, Taylor’s Market, Sprouts, Raley’s, Whole Foods, Nugget, and Compton’s Market are some of the spots selling whole turkeys around Sacramento.

Rocklin approves 281 apartments despite parking concerns. Here's what changed

A divided Rocklin City Council approved a 281-unit affordable housing project Tuesday, capping a contentious review process marked by neighborhood opposition, parking disputes and concerns about the city's limited authority under state housing laws. The council voted 3-2 to approve the Midas Apartments, with Mayor Bass and Councilmember Ken Broadway opposed. The approval included several changes to the development plan, including a restriction preventing non-emergency vehicles from exiting the property onto Midas Avenue. The project includes 278 affordable apartments for households earning between 30% and 70% of the area median income, along with three manager units. Parking remained one of the biggest concerns throughout the review process. Under Rocklin’s parking standards, the development would normally require 578 spaces. The approved plan instead provides 401, with adjustments permitted as long as the total remains at least 397. The developer previously added 25 parking spaces after an August council meeting by reducing some planned landscaping. Why the city cannot require more parking The project is located about 0.39 miles from the Rocklin Amtrak station. Under Assembly Bill 2097, which took effect in 2023, cities generally cannot require minimum parking for qualifying developments within a half-mile of certain public transit stops. Although the
