Until 1960, the core area was the downtown for the Sacramento region. Local retailers provided the year-round shopping and entertainment destination for the entire Sacramento region. Grand movie houses, such as the remaining Crest and Esquire, were the place to go for first-run movies. Several clubs along K Street offered live music. In the 1960s, teens from the surrounding suburbs flocked downtown on summer evenings to “cruise K,” as later depicted in the film “American Graffiti.” With the growth of the suburban While K Street opened to automobile traffic in 2011, the focus of the street in Downtown remains on light rail. communities east of Sacramento, the rise of Source: David Wade suburban shopping malls, and many other David Wade, AICP-CUD FEATURE | factors, the K Street core experienced a significant decline in its role as the retail, The Transformation of K Street entertainment, and social hub of the region.
