Today's riddle: What dries when it gets wet? 🤔 (Answer below!)
Weather forecast:
• State grant boosts Sacramento's tobacco enforcement and compliance efforts (sacramentocityexpress.com) — Sacramento’s Code Enforcement division just landed an $884,021 state grant to step up enforcement of tobacco laws, especially the city and county ban on flavored products. Over the next three years, expect more undercover decoy operations, inspections, and penalties aimed at unlicensed sales and violations, all intended to boost retailer compliance and community safety.
• Fix50 closure, school mascot under fire and more. Top Sacramento evening stories (sacbee.com) — Sacramento drivers face a 15-hour Fix50 connector closure from late Friday to early Saturday, while the city’s largest school district names a permanent superintendent amid financial strain. Sacramento City Unified is also moving to replace Hiram Johnson High’s ‘warriors’ mascot, and locals are reminded of classic deli options at Corti Brothers on Folsom Boulevard.
• Concerts in the Park returns, giving downtown Sacramento businesses an early summer boost (kcra.com) — Free Concerts in the Park return to downtown Sacramento tonight for their 33rd season, drawing thousands to Cesar Chavez Plaza and nearby businesses over nine straight weeks. Expect rock-heavy lineups, themed nights like Latin and Juneteenth, and after-dark drink specials from local bars hoping to ride the surge in foot traffic and summer energy.
