Downtown I've Always Wanted in Placerville

Last Saturday, I stumbled upon a bookstore in downtown Placerville while doing a little search for pellets and was surprised to find the downtown I've always wanted. Now, don't get upset at me, all you Sacramentans out there, I love Old Sacramento and downtown Sacramento as well, but can we please have some used book stores there too?

Imagine my surprise when Placerville also had an Art and Wine Festival! No, I missed it because I was working on my rentals (still!) but the promise of being so close to somewhere I can just go and spend a few afternoons browsing books was pretty exciting.

If you like the idea of a small downtown with art galleries and used book stores, you might want to visit Placerville. And then buy a house there. It's barely 45 minutes from Sacramento and has breathtaking views!

And a great place to stay when in town is the Albert Shafsky House Bed and Breakfast in Placerville, just steps from Historic Main Street.

There's also a great bookstore with new books and all kinds of cards and gift items. Don't miss Raven's Tale next time you're in downtown P'ville.
