Christmas Lights in the Fabulous 40's Neighborhood of East Sacramento

Ditas Christmas Lights this Year- at the Fabulous 40's Neighborhood of East Sacramento

This year after a Christmas Eve Dinner at Ditas House in East Sacramento, David and I had a short drive enjoying the Christmas Lights of the Fabulous 40's Neighborhood of East Sacramento. This year due to Covid-19 there are more cars than people ( walking) enjoying the Christmas lights. Here's three videos highlighting the Christmas lights.   


Car Tour and Christmas Music


The Fabulous Forties neighborhood is part of the East Sacramento district. President Ronald Reagan lived at 1341 45th Street while serving most of his term as Governor of California. The "Fab '40s" is the historic terminus of a once extensive streetcar network that covered nearly all the historic neighborhoods of the city. Forty-sixth street at J Street was the turnaround point for the J Street Line making it one of the widest streets in East Sacramento. 

The lots between 38th and 47th Streets and bordered by J Street and Folsom Boulevard are among the largest in East Sacramento, creating the concentration of larger houses that gave rise to the area's name. Up until the Great Depression, the grand homes of the "Fab '40s" were considered to be the modern day equivalent of a suburban mansion. Now they are considered architecturally spectacular large to mid-sized houses in a very pricey location.
