Wind was blowing the good ole pollens around as I coughed my way amongst the colorful Farmers Market at Capitol Mall along 15th between L and N Streets.

Saturday was the second of many more Farmers Markets in Oak Park since it happens every Saturday through October 27, 2012. It's location is great at McClatchy Park. While shoppers bought and sellers talked, a 220 lb pig was roasting and a variety of interactive activities, including live music from local bands, activities for children (story-telling, face painting, art projects) were happening. Jubilee Farm hosted an annual Pig Roast, a fundraiser, to help suport local food and local farmers. Here's some photos of the roasting pig and more: Chef Brad put together a fantastic, local menu: Jubilee Farm Berkshire Pork including: Roasted Whole Pig Salt Roasted Pork Grilled Rack of Pork Roa

Back in December 2010 Meea Kang, a principal at Domus Development said to Brandon Darnell, Sacramento Press reporter,  “We’re here to bring, I think, the most contemporary, most cutting-edge design that we could bring to one of the oldest residential neighborhoods of Sacramento.” Nearing completion of the La Valentina in the Alkali Flat area, it appears San Francisco-based company in charge of the project has accomplished what it set out to do. The La Valentia is a definite upgrade at the corner of 12th and D streets and is adjacent to the La Valentina Light Rail Station. According to the Domus Management website, Sacramento's La Valentia's 81 affordable units include studios, 1, 2 & 3

Just the right temperature on a spring night right makes for a good time spent outdoors right before sunset.
