K Street was a happenin' place last night. The revival of automobile traffic lured lots of folks to see Sacramento history repeating itself.
I was perched on top of Hyatt's parking garage. I was in good company; K St Venues was blowing mass quantities of confetti from here, as well as across the street onto, the parade of cars.
Crowds lined the streets along K and 12th. Restaurants were busy.
Here are some photos from last night:

Only between 8th and 12th K St are cars allowed at a slow speed. No Parking allowed and there are passenger drop-off/pick-up zones.

Re-branding K Street as a suburban-friendly shopping center doesn't work. Downtown Sacramento has to offer a different product--the urban experience itself--to set itself apart.
