Seinfeld might ask, “What’s the deal with the Urban Dictionary?” Personally I wonder who decided “Urban” was synonymous with Hip Hop Culture? Nah strike that, I don’t really care. Today while taking a little break from the monotony of blah, blah, blah, at work I decided to google Downtown Sacramento’s nickname SacTown. Instantly I was directed to a definition from the Urban Dictionary dubbing SacTown as the nickname given to our city by gangsta’s and rappers. After reading through the three definitions that people had left as their opinion of what SacTown meant to them I thought about what it meant to me.

Sac-Town is the slang term for the city of Sacramento, California.

‘Sac-Town’ is what the residents of SACRAMENTO, California call it.
Sac-town is where the true gangstas are at.
That’s how we be rollin’ up in the 916. |

When I hear ”SacTown” I think of cute girls on beach cruisers peddling through midtown, friends enjoying an afternoon brew on the patio outside of The Beach Hut Deli on J Street, Second Saturday Artwalk, Cool tunes coming from the Alpha Romeo shop on Music Night in the Pan Handle District, Bumping into the mayor every so often at Yogurt-a-go-go, the 20th St. outdoor ice rink after drinks at Azul, finding the best coffee hidden in an alley, and of course sharing a pint with friends on the patio at Devere’s watching the Cougars come and go from The Mix.
I’m interested when you hear SacTown what do you think of?
