Sacramento auto museum planning a multimillion-dollar renovation. What to expect

The California Automobile Museum contains a rich array of vehicles, everything from a 1966 Shelby Cobra 427 to a 1978 Kawasaki motorcycle that appeared on the TV show “CHiPS.” Less impressive is the exterior of the museum at 2200 Front St. in Sacramento, a circa 1953 warehouse. But the building’s aesthetics could be changing, with the museum announcing recently that it intends to do a $2.5 million renovation that could transform the entrance to the building and add an event space. “This has been a long-term vision that we have had, knowing that we want to look like more than just a warehouse,” said the museum Executive Director Karen McClaflin. “We want to look like an auto museum.” What the auto museum is planning The renovation, which the automobile museum hopes to break ground on in the spring, will focus on three areas: the current entrance; a shed area connected to the museum that it currently uses for storage and car maintenance; and the museum’s current event space of roughly 5,500 square feet.

Progressive streamer Hasan Piker joins Mai Vang at Sacramento canvassing rally

The Sacramento chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America saw record turnout at a canvassing event for congressional candidate Mai Vang Wednesday night, thanks in part to a celebrity appearance. Hasan Piker, a left-wing streamer and divisive political commentator, took the Southside Park stage in Sacramento on Wednesday afternoon to rally support for Vang in her bid to unseat longtime incumbent Doris Matsui for the 7th Congressional District seat. Over the course of two livestreams, including one Wednesday, Piker has helped raise $91,000 for Vang’s campaign. “I’m really honored to be here on this stage with two wonderful people, but also in front of hundreds of people who are going to shape the destiny of the California Democratic Party and perhaps the rest of the country, if not the world,” Piker said. Piker’s popularity among young left-leaning voters has propelled him beyond the internet and into the national spotlight as a prominent voice on the American left. The Twitch streamer has thrown his weight behind several progressive candidates and DSA members seeking congressional seats in the 2026 midterm elections. Before his stop in Sacramento, Piker joined Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, at a sold-out campaign event in Minnesota. He has also
