Come Monday, BKWLD Sacramento will have a new home in an amazing new space in Downtown Sac.

Call me crazy, but it’s a little bittersweet.

Del Paso Boulevard will always hold a special place in our hearts. We’ll certainly miss our local liquor store and its owner Sam. Joy, next store with her coffee. The motley crew of hobos, beggars, gangsters, pimps, prostitutes and ‘Johns’ that gave us so much enjoyment through our one-way window.

We’ll also miss Little Joe’s, Frenchie’s, The Dos and all of the other terrible-ass restaurants we braved a handful of times. As well as the small, (and I mean SMALL) handful of yummy places like the Taqueria, Uptown Cafe and Refugio.

Call me sentimental, but more than just the neighborhood, I think we have a lot to thank ol’ 1901a for. Our current office’s open floor space and culture has a direct correlation to creating the tight and closely knit crew we are today. There’s a reason why we do such great work, collaborate so well and love what we do. Certainly a good deal of that is because we love the web and our clients, but more than that, we care about each other and have enjoyed our time here.

Now that I am going to be in my own office and not smack dab with the creatives, I am going to miss being in the thick of things a bit. I am going to miss the omnipotent stereo, and the constant hum of people typing, talking and thinking. And as nice as the privacy and quiet that the office will afford me, I am sure I will find myself wandering out to the creative area very often, lap top in hand, looking forward to the buzz and energy.

So now we look onward! The new office certainly looks to capture Buk’s same fiery dynamic, in a much better suited location, full of even better coffee shops and sandwich joints. The Seattle office as well is busting at the seams of its office, and will shortly be having the same change Sacramento is making, leaving it’s intimate and cramped space, for a new and kick-ass one.

So to Del Paso Boulevard: Thank you for helping to make BKWLD Sacramento the team we are today.
