"I'd tell travelers to check out the Capitol. The area around there like K Street is really developing."

"Walking through Capital Park is really a lot of fun. It's a botanical garden with great plantings that are all well labeled. Plus, there's an Arthur Matthews mural in the basement of the Capital Building that's worth going to see. There's this long green swad of greenery from Capital Park all the way down through the Capital Mall and to both sides of the American River."
