What is the Identity of Sacramento?

[urbanadvocate]

We have all written about this at some point on this thread--but when other people are approached with this question I am often surprised at how many say there is no identity or culture to Sacramento. Obviously this is not true. Our region is more than the city of trees or the city surrounded by farmland. Who are we?

As fellow lovers of urbanity, architecture, design and the culture all these things produce, what would you say is the identity of our fair city?

Feel free to post images, abstract or real, that helps articulate your impressions--what can I say, I am very visual

Look forward to hearing from all of you!
