The Sacramento area book club gathering for Walkable City by Jeff Speck continues on the second Wednesday of November, October 8, 6:00PM to about 7:30PM, at Lefty’s Taproom, 5610 Elvas Ave, Sacramento. This will be the last meeting of the book club on this book.

The book section for this gathering is ‘The Interesting Walk’, with Step 9: Make Interesting and Friendly Faces and Step 10: Picking Winners. The 10th Anniversary Edition also contains supplementary material updating these chapters.. The Sacramento Public Library has a copy of the 10th Anniversary Edition (2022) and the original edition (2012). Local bookstores may have a copy on hand, but if not, can order it in few days. It is also available as an Amazon Kindle e-book and Audible audio book.

You do not need to have attended a previous book club gathering. If it is your first time, welcome! You also do not need to have read the relevant sections of the book, but you will probably enjoy the conversation more if you have. Previous participants have included transportation and housing professionals, but also just interested citizens. We want you, we want your voice and ideas! We realize that some people have a hard time getting somewhere at 6:00 sharp after work or other obligations, so come when you can, and jump in.

An Eventbrite event has been set up to let us know you are coming: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/copy-of-walkable-city-jeff-speck-book-club-tickets-752991326327. However, a ticket is NOT required, you can just show up. Getting a ticket helps us plan, and provides the ability to have it entered on your calendar, so you don’t forget, but please come in any case.

Lefty’s Taproom has a wide selection of beer, and some wine and cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. They also have a variety of dinner items. You are not required to drink or eat, but it does help support our venue. We meet outside on the patio, so come dressed appropriately. Sunset will be at 5:05PM that day. There is bike parking at the front entrance. Lefty’s is a 10 minute walk from SacRT route 30, or a 30 minute walk from SacRT Gold Line light rail. There are good bicycle facilities on Elvas, but not necessarily on streets connecting to Elvas.
