"I've been playing sax for about two years. I moved to Sacramento a few months ago, and now this is my full-time job. But I'm not really doing it for money. Music is my passion, and playing out here is about the joy of watching people's reactions, especially when my music makes them smile." Will

"I've had to use a wheelchair most of my life, and I was in foster care from the age of 2 until I finished high school and turned 18. It wasn't easy, but I take pride in having a positive outlook. I feel like another chapter in my life is starting now. I'm about to move into a house with some of my friends, and I'm planning to go back to college."

"What does the tattoo on your chest say?"

"Love undiminished by adversity." David

"My girlfriend is in Chicago. I miss her more than I've ever missed anyone in my life. I won't be happy until I get her. But I won't get her until I'm happy." Noah

"It's a birthday weekend for us, so we went to Stinson Beach yesterday. Today we're just hanging out in Sac - probably going to Tank House, Low Brau, and a couple other places later. Oh, can you give a shout-out to our cat? Her name is Bop. She's like our daughter." Luke & Alexis

"We did the Color Run!"

"I was born in Sacramento, and I've lived here almost my whole life. I moved away for a while but came back in '72. I remember when Formoli's was Frankie's Pharmacy. They had a soda fountain. A lot has changed over the years, but some things are the same. Sacred Heart Church is still there. That's where I was baptized and married." Betty

"I do street photography, too. In San Francisco. Check out my website: http://invisibleinsf.com." Curtis

"The best thing about being retired is that my weeks now consist of six Saturdays and a Sunday. Retirement is definitely the bomb." Jim

"I retired from UC Davis after 25 years. Now I'm taking care of my son and helping him flourish." "Anything you're looking forward to?" "Traveling to Asia. That's the only continent I haven't visited. I'd like to see Hong Kong." Linda

"I've been homeless. I did fifteen years in Angola prison. I've had two heart attacks and a stroke. If I had the chance to do it all over again, I'd do it exactly the same...but with less emotional conflict."

"I think Sac's a great place to live. The bike trail is a gem. I ride to & from work every day." James

"I was married, but she divorced me. Then everything went downhill. Lost my job, apartment, car. Got into heroin for a while. I've been clean for a couple years now. I'm happy about that, but It's hard to be optimistic. Wherever I go, people run me off. 'You can't sit here.' 'You can't stand there.' Nothing seems to go right for me these days." Robert

"The best things in life are free."

"I'm from France, but I lived in Hawaii for a while. That's where I met my wife and where we had our kids. We moved to Sacramento to open a restaurant. We're the co-owners of Cafe Plan B here in Midtown." Franck

"I'm working on a book called 'The Hemp Controversy.'" "What's it about?" "It explains why the federal government should follow the recommendation of the Shafer Commission and allow hemp to be grown and used for medicinal purposes across the country." Abigail

"About a month ago, I got a job as a photographer with Fox 40, so I moved here from the Bay Area." "How do you feel about Sacramento so far?" "It's starting to grow on me." Jason http://instagram.com/jasonbeal
