The Birthday Girl
By Cory Hunt, SacMidtown.com Oh my God, you guys! I cannot believe that my birthday is coming up! Like, it’s almost already here! I know it’s a couple of weeks away, but we should totally get the girls together and you can all buy me dinner to celebrate. It will be so fun! LOL! I [...]
Fitness Corner: The Medicine Ball Workout
By Kristin Walton, SacMidtown.com I’m an advocate for home workouts. As someone who works from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. most days, it’s hard to convince myself to get to the gym after a long day. Not to mention the fact that it’s free to work out at home! Most times, I work out in [...]
Confessions of a Reality TV Junkie
By Melissa Villarin, SacMidtown.com I’ll admit it, I love reality TV. All reality TV. From MTV to TLC, Bravo to E!, reality shows are my weakness. Just the other night I watched “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” and I didn’t hate it. I’m not really sure when this happened, but I’m going to blame MTV. “The Real [...]
The Bright Red Hope: New Gyro Food Stand Opens at McKinley Park
By Jimmy Spencer, SacMidtown.com Editor I love how midtown’s dining community acts like a middle school class. Each time a new kid enters the fray, curiosity takes over and, like nosey young teens, everyone wants to get to know this newbie. I first started seeing this new kid on my routine drive past McKinley Park. [...]
I’m Hot for Hot Italian
By Bethany Hill, SacMidtown.com One of my absolute favorite spots in Midtown is Hot Italian. It is without a doubt my most desired Italian restaurant in Sacramento. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional trek to Carmichael’s hidden treasure, Pasquale’s, or another Carmichael favorite, Matteo’s, or perhaps even one of Midtown’s go-to Italian eateries, [...]
“I’m Gonna Barf”
By Kristin Walton, SacMidtown.com Getting “whoozy” is a common feeling when working out. Truth is, if you haven’t ever felt that way, chances are you don’t know what it’s like to push yourself to the limit. Now, by no means am I saying that I want you to workout ’til you collapse, but when or [...]
My 5 Favorite NES Games
By Cory Hunt, SacMidtown.com These games had an effect on my life that cannot be underestimated. Once you read my review of each, I’m confident that you will agree, even on #2. 1) Baseball Stars Pros: I’ve never felt like more of a Patriot than when I played as The American Dreams and dominated lesser [...]
Diary of a San Francisco Giants Championship Run
By Jimmy Spencer – When Brian Wilson struck out Nelson Cruz for the final out on the night of Nov. 1, 2010, the Giants had won their first World Series in the city of San Francisco. As it happened, I stood in the city, in a Union Street bar packed with close to 1,000 fellow Giants fans, all of us roaring
Ducks in a Midtown Pond
By John Parker, SacMidtown.com Elk Grove to midtown is a heck of a lot more manageable drive for Mary Rodriguez than Elk Grove to Eugene, Ore. Rodriguez and her son Paul are just two of a large group of Sacramento-area University of Oregon football backers who make a weekly pilgrimage to MVPs Sports Bar and [...]
