as far as a new courthouse goes...I think there's (yet another) bond measure next year to raise funds for it. I remember reading something about that in the Bee.

I can't wait either...a smaller grocer that offers good pay and good benefits (as Tesco has a reputation for doing) and offers healthier options to the masses...what's the problem with that!?!?!

No. Nothing, actually. I didn't even know what Fresh & Easy is. I misunderstood the origninal post

Thanks. I checked it out.

Tesco plc is a U.K.-based international grocery and general merchandising retail chain. It is considered the largest British retailer and the world's third-largest grocery retailer.

Tesco has opened several Fresh and Easy stores already here in the Inland Empire. I haven't been inside any yet, but from the looks of it when driving past, they seem pretty busy yet not too large, either.

Plus this store will be a bachelors dream.

They feature ready made meals....

Here is a blurb from their website..

People want fresh and healthy food choices. People want things to be easy.
So we're making our stores that way. How? By recruiting friendly people and offering high-quality food at prices you can't believe. We also think people might like some inspiration, so we're creating easy-to-prepare meals and sharing Fresh & Easy™ Ideas that make busy lives easier. Because we're a good neighbor who cares about the environment, we're including energy efficient equipment in our stores and operations. And since we're a neighborhood market, we recruit from the local area, reduce travel time, and encourage neighborhood shopping. A simple shopping experience with everything you need right in the neighborhood.

Smaller than the usual supermarket, our neighborhood sized stores are easily accessible and offer everything from everyday staples to gourmet items. Lots of fresh and wholesome food choices, including prepared meals and organic foods, make healthy eating easy and affordable. In particular, our own fresh&easy™ line of products has no added trans fats and no artificial colors or flavors. And with our in store Kitchen Table you can taste our products before you buy them. The simple packaging and labels on our private brand helps you see exactly what you're bringing home – great food you can trust.

555 Capitol Mall: Up for sale or not?
By Bob Shallit - [email protected]

Is 555 Capitol Mall still on the market? Bill Palmer, whose brokerage company is marketing the 16-story downtown building, says it is. The same word comes from Fred Teichert, whose family is one of the building's owners.

But Teichert hints that some re-evaluation is going on in light of the general business slowdown and the planned exit of some of the building's key tenants.

"We're trying to respond realistically to the market in respect to any sale," Teichert says.

What we've heard is that offers have been below what the ownership group expected - largely because of the looming vacancies.

Law firm Downey Brand LLP already has announced plans to leave next year and another legal tenant, McDonough Holland & Allen, has signed a letter of intent to move across the street to 500 Capitol Mall in 2009.

The owners have done a great job restoring the lobby and bringing in the 55 Degrees restaurant on the first floor.

Broker Chris Strain, executive director of Cushman & Wakefield's Sacramento office, credits the owners with a "great redo."

"But that said, it's still an old building," he notes, with less desirable floor plans than other downtown high-rises.

Bottom line: If they keep it, the owners will have to offer aggressive leasing to fill the emptying spaces.

Anyone know what's going on with the Township 9 project? How about the River District in general?

Down Capitol Mall

Well, I am back from my deployment to the wonderful Persian Gulf! Nothing like 125 degrees in the middle of summer!
I have been catching up with all the drama that has happened in Sac since I left in April. WOW! So sad. However, I am confident that 301 will get built in some new fashion and that Taylor will take over Aura and Mo will get deported to Tijuana where he will redevelop that city!

I am heading up to Sac one last time Dec 15 and 16 before I head back to Spain for the next three years. It will be nice to be back on a continent I love. I love Sacramento, but it has a lot of "growing up" to do. Hopefully people in this forum who live in Sac will help make the city a truly wonderful place.

I would like to meet some of you before I leave. When was the last time you all had a meet?
Just a suggestion for the end of the year.

sugit · #**2480** Posted **Dec 7, 2007, 12:29 AM**

Best of luck! Hopefully when you come back you'll see a bunch of changes for the better.

I'd be down for MEAT...haven't had on of those bad boys in a while.
