Sacramento residents are tired of the relentless fog that has enveloped their city and are hitting the road for a sunny escape to Placerville. As weeks of gray skies drag on, folks are packing up the family and heading to the foothills in search of warmth and sunshine. Rich Dubey, a Rancho Murieta local, characterized the dreary situation as “miserable,” and others echoed his feelings after spending weeks without a glimpse of blue skies.
The buzz in Placerville isn’t just about soaking in the sun; local businesses are benefitting significantly from the influx of holiday shoppers. T.W. Bonkers Toy&Candy Emporium is seeing both familiar faces and new visitors as customers flock from nearby cities. Owner Tony Windle has noticed a marked increase in foot traffic, noting that afternoons are particularly busy as families combine their quest for sunshine with some Christmas shopping. It’s a win-win scenario bringing warmth, joy, and a dash of holiday spirit to the area.
With Sacramento residents trading dreariness for brightness, it’s clear they know how to lighten their mood and maximize their holiday shopping experience at the same time. Who knew that a little sunshine could go such a long way?
