^ Yes, it doesn't have zero art. However, compared to Chicago in pretty much all those categories whether it's arts, theatre, food, etc - it's not going to come out ahead.
Few cities (besides NYC, LA, and SF) can out do Chicago's arts and theatre scene. Food is so subjective, for Sacramento's size its got a great foodie scene, street and regular food is up there. Slavic, eastern european restaurants, few other cities out do Chicago.
Sac reminded me of a giant suburb. It wasnt bad by any sense, but Chicago and its suburbs just offer more. To think otherwise is bizarre.
It's an usual comparison, Chicago is an enormous powerhouse of a city with a long history as a big city. Sacramento is a medium size city and it's metro, last census, was barely over 2million.
Sacramento certainly has a more interesting core than Phoenix which is twice the size of Sacramento both city and metro.
Yeah if you can manage to drive 80mph the entire way....
Going to SF from SAC, if we leave before 10am on Sat/Sun, 1 hour 10-15 minutes, Coming home after 8 or 9pm, easily done in 1hour, 5-15mins. That would be Bay Bridge(SF side) to Sacramento River Bridge.
Luckily I haven't been stuck in heavy traffic in a long time, worse case I think was just over 2hours for me; because of traffic from Berkeley to Bay Bridge, on I-80.
