I recently posted a postcard from Sacramento so I though I would shine some light on the city to the north, Roseville, California.
Roseville has roots in the railroad and the telephone. I mostly drove right past as a kid on the way to Lake Tahoe and ignored it altogether. But, a revitalized old town is a fun draw. Food trucks, Irish bars, tattoo parlors, craft beer, theatre and a few very solid restaurants are bringing life back to downtown Rosy.

I’ll be the first to admit that pizza on the west coast can barely be classified as pizza but this place makes a solid effort!
I really enjoy coming here partially because of the ambiance and partially because the crowds tend to gravitate towards the mall and newer areas. It was the perfect place to relax for a quick afternoon stroll with Mr.Baby.
These are all such great images. And my kind of town. I’d love to take a stroll sometime.

It was fun. I wonder if it will ever be busier? It’s in the heart of a very busy and populous city yet it remains pretty quiet. Seems the perfect place for some good restaurants or shops or something. Thanks for the comment.

Great photos, especially the first and third ones. The vibrancy of the colors in the sky and the building frame a hint to a quiet history beyond the bar sign. As far as the B&W—you nailed my nostalgic trip to the barbershop as a kid. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed. I’ve always love barbershop signs. Don’t know why.

They remind me of Norman Rockwell’s subject matter back in the ’40s and ’50s.

Good point. I’ll bet a lot of kids today wouldn’t even know what one is.

I’m glad you like it. A quiet place in the middle of a lot of noise.

I was trying to understand the “noise” part. That would be the mall and stuff right? (Last time I checked) it seems to me that “downtown” in many American towns after years of neglect have made a come back… Buildings rehabilitated. New stores, cafés… A place to wander at leisure with a stroller… 🙂

Yes many of them but only in the areas that had enough money and vision. It’s just a busy city that has a lot of noise and traffic and this was a nice little quiet oasis.
