We moved to the Sacramento Area, specifically Antelope, in 2001. In the last 25 years Sacramento County has grown and changed. Cows were walking in Citrus Heights (where I now live), and there are still farms in our neighboring city Orangevale.
Roseville was spreading her wings and spreading out annexing properties. Roseville is in Placer County. The town now consists of West Roseville (suburbia). East Roseville (office buildings), Downtown Roseville (City Hall, shops and railroad). Old Roseville where smaller buildings are found and the railyard.
Roseville became prominent because of the railroad. There is still a depot there, and Amtrak still stops there. The day these pictures were taken, my friend and I were strolling Downtown Roseville. There are shops, restaurants, city offices and two movie theaters. Here are some of the pictures I took that day.
A freight train was moving slowly along that morning.
The Tower Theater.
The square where community events is held and water features entertain the children in the summer has a beautiful fountain. I concentrated on the sculpture and base. I guess I was in a close up mood.
Some other sights I thought were photographable.
Linda Creek borders the Downtown area and beautiful old homes.
That’s about it for Downtown Roseville–for now! Stay tuned for a festival in the square.

It looks like a very charming town. I loved the Tower art deco building and that sculpture with the animals in that open globe. Interesting shops, too.

I would love any town which still has a working theatre of the old kind. I’m quite happy to see a movie in a mall multiplex, but these old theatres have a different feel

I’m not sure this theater is operational any longer. There is another theater on Vernon Street that used to do plays, but it closed. It’s easier to fill a small theater in a multiplex than one large theater. Money talks.

Downtown Roseville looks and feels different from East Roseville. I’ll take my camera there next.

How nice to have a trip round your home town, Anne. Love the freight train sequence. And that fabulous animal sculpture. The creek still has a ‘wilderness’ look about it, despite downtown proximity.

Thanks Tish! Roseville is so close, but not my home town. All the creeks in this valley have that wilderness look. I think that’s why I enjoy them.

Thank you for the tour of Roseville, Anne! I never spent much time downtown, but I watched/heard about its growth for the almost 40 years I lived in the Sacramento area. Gorgeous shots. I didn’t know a Tower Theater was there too! Very cool!

Thanks Terri! Yes, there are two theaters in Downtown Roseville. I can only imagine what that strip of about 8 blocks was like in its hey day.
