Along the Streets of Capitol Mall

When you're in Sacramento, I bet you'll never fail to pass by Capitol Mall. I maybe wrong but in many cases and in most instances, you'll still really pass by this street. The street's name is quite tricky. Of course! When we say Mall, what comes to our mind is an establishment. How much you want to bet? Well, in this case, it isn't an establishment. Capitol Mall is actually a street which traverse from the Sacramento Pioneer Bridge straight to the California Capitol Building. I would think that is the reason why it is called Capitol Mall-because it is heading towards the capitol. Does that make sense to you?

What doesn't make sense to me is the addition of the word "Mall". But regardless, it is what it is.

Going back to the subject and as I was saying, Capitol Mall is a street that leads to the Capitol Buidling. Along this street looms the different buidlings of different sizes and shapes. This street houses the Federal Building, some corporate and state offices.

The photos below shows some of the buildings that resides along the streets of Capitol Mall:

This picture was taken from a HUGE door by the balcony of the State Capitol.

According to the tour guide that we had, this building is "somewhat" an extension to the Capitol. I guess it houses the offices of some Legislators. (Forgive me for being so lame on my information!)

A year or two year old building. It is one of the tallest in the city. See the top part? At night, its lights changes in colors- from blue to pink and vice versa.

It is the newest skyscraper in town! It's only about a year old. If my memory serves me right, it houses Bank of the West and several other corporate offices.

From this angle, this building fascinates me! Check out those windows! After all, that is where we are going to stand if there'll be fire from where I work. It houses some corporate offices.

This is the same building as featured in photo number 3. It has different angle. This building also catches my attention because of its different characteristics. If you notice the different shapes, from this angle, then you know what I mean!

And lastly, it's the facade of where I work. Yay, I am from Capitol Mall. I am lucky to be working on this beautiful high rise. This building is called the Emerald City. It is because of the color of the glass windows that surrounds it.

(Too bad I didn't have the chance to take a photo of one of the tallest buildings in the area, The Wells Fargo Building. When I'll get a chance, I'll update this particular blog. See how lame I am? And to think, Wells Fargo is just right beside where I work! bohhhooo!!!)
