San Francisco Boomers Are Moving To This Lovely Outdoorsy City Just Under An Hour From Lake Tahoe

When Bay Area baby boomers — that's anyone born between 1946 and 1964 — decide it's finally time to move away from the misty air of San Francisco, there's one spot that seems to be drawing the eye more than others. It lies over the great Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, on the bends of the Truckee River in Washoe County, on the far northwest edge of the state of Nevada. Its name? Reno.

5 Best Restaurants in Sparks, Nevada You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Sparks, Nevada — a city where the Sierra’s shadow cools the desert dusk, where the hum of trains and the laughter of families mingle beneath neon and mountain sky. Here, stucco bungalows and new apartments stand shoulder to shoulder, stitched together by the stories of casino workers, teachers, retirees, and newcomers drawn by the promise of possibility. Sparks is a crossroads — of Basque ranchers and Filipino cooks, of old-timers who remember the rail yards and young dreamers who gather at the marina, of families who linger over pancakes on Sunday mornings and friends who toast the sunset with a cold pint.

Sacramento restaurant closed over rodent droppings. What else did inspectors find?

Sacramento County Health Inspectors gave a red placard to a Japanese fusion restaurant after finding about 20 rodent droppings throughout the facility. Additionally, 12 restaurants were cited for unattended raw chicken, gunk found on a can opener and a missing food safety certificate. What do these inspections mean? While a yellow placard signals two or more major violations, these are typically corrected or mitigated during the inspection, according to the Sacramento County Retail Food Inspection Guide . A red placard, however, signals “imminent danger to public health and safety” and suspends an establishment’s health permit until violations are corrected. This could include, but is not limited to, major vermin contamination . In contrast, a green placard means a restaurant passed inspection. The county performs about 14,000 inspections annually and about 97% of establishments pass, spokesman Ken Casparis previously told The Sacramento Bee. Approximately 1% of inspections result in a closure, he said. These were the results of Sacramento County food facility inspections for Thursday, Oct. 29, through Wednesday, Nov. 4. If an inspection listed below needs clarification, business owners can email The Sacramento Bee at servicejournalists@sacbee.com .

Downtown Sacramento restaurant abruptly shuts, workers file suit alleging wage theft

Echo & Rig, the steakhouse and butcher shop in Downtown Commons inside Sacramento’s Kimpton Sawyer Hotel, appears to have abruptly closed, and an employee has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of himself and others who the suit alleges have not been paid. The lawsuit was filed Nov. 2 in Sacramento Superior Court by Gavrilov & Brooks on behalf of Micah Bramwell and other employees at the restaurant, which is at 500 J St. Suite 150. The suit accuses the restaurant and its owner of failure to pay timely wages, failure to pay all wages upon separation, noncompliant wage statements, rest break violations, failure to reimburse necessary business expenses and unfair business practices. The plaintiff is seeking to recover the underpaid damages, penalties, interest, attorney’s fees and costs. TikTok user Erika posted a video on Thursday showing text from an email from the management and images of the empty restaurant. “Unfortunately today we received (an) email, that they decided to (close) their doors forever at the Sacramento location ... and none of the staff including myself got paid!
