I am thinking what a shame it is that Sacramento the Capitol of California does not have one German Restaurant. We have the Turnverein with very limited venues. Ther are alot of Germans in the Sacramento area, I think the number is around 40thousand. Recently the Windmill Nursery had to shut down and there is a huge lot vacant with a big building and outdoor garden area and plenty parking area that would be a very ideal location for a big German Restaurant and Beer Garden. Maybe someone reading this would be interested or pass the info. on to a interested party. I think it would be a big success, everone I know likes German food and German Beer.
Myself, I am too old to start a business like that. I am 75 years old. Sacramento used to have a German restaurant called “Scheidell’s” but when Mr. Scheidell died the place closed. That was 30 some years ago.
