POLL: How Friendly is Elk Grove?

A social networking company recently named Sacramento one of the friendliest cities in the state. But what about Elk Grove? Rate the Grove on a scale of one to five here.

If you had to rate Elk Grove's friendliness on a scale of one to five, what would you say?

Tagged, a social networking company focused on helping users meet new people, recently dubbed Sacramento one of the friendliest cities in California. The company measured friend requests and other "expressions of adoration" on its site to come up with rankings for cities with 200,000 people or more.

Southern California was friendlier than Northern California, according to the company's survey, with Santa Ana taking the top spot. Other affable NorCal cities included Oakland and Modesto.

We're not convinced a survey by a single, relatively small company can settle the question of how welcoming a town is. But it did get us thinking: How friendly is Elk Grove?

An overpass and off/on ramps will be built at Whitelock Parkway after the mall is built, whichRead More should take place after the soccer stadium is built, which should take place after the city secures a professional soccer team. Elk Grove better make sure the professional soccer team is a women's team, or else LaWanna Montgomery will be mad.

Why not down to Grantline and then head back north along the freeway? Plus Kammerer will eventuallyRead More be widened all the way to I-5 and commuters can use that too. Take Grantline to Kammerer to Bruceville.
