Site Visit: May 30, 2022In the 1990s, I worked for a year in Auburn, Placer County. I lived in Sacramento so when I was done with work, I would immediately head down the hill to home. I regret now how much I missed out on. The old town area of Auburn is so charming. Neat little restaurants, bars and shops. Tons of brick and stone buildings, many dating from the 1850s. Sitting at the corner of Sacramento Street and Lincoln Way is the historic Union Bar. And what is really neat is the curved front of the building that hugs the corner of the street. I love that for nearly 170 years you have been able stop and have a drink here. It looks like the drinks though are now pretty expensive, since it is now the fine dining restaurant Carpe Vino. Fortunately you can still get a cheap drink next door at the California. It's got to be a great spot. They had people coming through the door at 9:00 on a Monday morning when I was taking this photo.
