- Sacramento, California - Senator Capitol Kitty Memorial
I tried to visit and was unable to see the memorial stone due to some major construction that is in progress. Per the app and GPS, I was right across the street from where the memorial was, but I couldn't get closer than the construction barrier wall. I'm hoping the memorial stone and surrounding trees will all be kept, but time (or access to the construction plans) will tell.

This place is awesome. So much to see. One-Log Costner doesn't hold up to the giant praying mantis or the T Rex. We really enjoyed this location. Worth the drive. Very eccentric location and nursery. Name of this location is now Thompson Building Materials.
