WatchLast night, Sacramento city council voted unanimously to allow all 39 medical-cannabis dispensaries registered with the city a chance to remain open.
Previously, the city had planned to cap the number at 12.
Their decision is a sort of sea change for the council, who for nearly a decade ignored Sacramento’s medical-pot clubs before imposing a moratorium on new ones last year.

Saw this coming, though, with the sore ankle. Too bad—and would have been interesting to see whether Evans made the team had he not been hurt.
The Bee vs. Morton's hot beef redux
Morton’s Blue Cheese Steak Fries or a dog’s regurg on frozen tater sticks?
Did the Sacramento Bee run a please-forgive-me Morton’s Steakhouse puff piece in today’s Ticket section? It sure reads like it.
A little back-story: In January 2009, Bee food critic Blair Anthony Robertson drubbed Morton’s (in an article that is now part of the...
Funeral at the movies?
Today’s Bob Shallit column in the Bee reports the the Crest Theatre is up for sale. This comes on the the heels of news that Broadway’s Tower Theater also is on the market.

Hate OJ
My neighbor argues that his orange tree, on the corner of N and 20th streets, produces the best juice in Midtown. So, this past week I juiced a bunch.And then days later—maybe six or seven—I finished off the OJ and got an awful stomach ache, bordering food poisoning. Like someone stabbing me on and off in the gut.
My question is: Can OJ that’s a week old, freshly juiced, give you food...
Temple to roast its own beans
A little bird just told me that, today, Temple Fine Coffee and Tea is having the first cupping of its in-house beans. Should be selling their own roasts in a month.
