GOTG Favorites: Places Now Closed

GOTG Favorites: Places Now Closed

New series by Girls on the Grid where we give shout out’s to our favorite [INSERT CATEGORY] around Sacramento. We love to support our local entrepreneurs and businesses. Please feel free to leave your recommendations or suggest categories by leaving a comment below!

This time we asked GOTG – what closed business (etc) do you miss the most? Of course we heart most of the current offerings, but we all have that one treasured spot that we wish was still open. If you could wave a magic wand, what would you bring back to the grid?

Alanna: Slightly off the grid, but Tower Records. Video killed the radio star and the internet killed the music store. I really miss going in and browsing Tower’s selection and listened to new albums standing in the aisles... Read More

Yes, You Can Buy an Evening Gown for $20 (or less)

If you're looking for a formal or dressy dress for prom, pageant or bridesmaid - and your budget is limited - a shop in Elk Grove is clearing out dresses for $10-20. 

Nicole's Previously Loved Fashions has approximately 100 short dressy style dresses at $10 each and 100 long prom, evening and bridesmaid gowns at $20.  The dresses are all gently used, but in great condition. 

Even if you aren't on a budget, it's worth the time to check it out.  You never know if the dress is there and why not pay less for it?

And, if you find two dresses that you want to buy, grab another one because the third one is free. 

Owner Lonna Ponce says she also has about 20 wedding gowns that she is selling for $99 each (not included in the buy one, get one free sale).

Nicole's Previously Loved Fashions is located at 10466 Franklin Blvd in Elk Grove.  They are open Friday, Saturday & Sunday 11:00 a.m.

R2-D2 at DMV?

R2-D2 at DMV?

Sacramento -- Self-Service Terminals (SSTs) at three local DMVs enable immediate registration renewals of most vehicles, providing a new registration card and license plate sticker. SSTs in DMVs at:

4700 Broadway, Sacramento; 7775 La Mancha Way, Sacramento and 5209 North Avenue, Carmichael.

Resembling an ATM, the SSTs are touch-screen operation that scans either your vehicle's Renewal Notice or current Registration Card. When the registration information is displayed, payment is made through the SST by inserting cash, check, credit or debit card. Immediately upon acceptance of payment, the SST prints a new registration card and license plate sticker. The process takes five minutes or less!

Visit www.dmv.ca.gov for updated information about SST locations and all DMV stuff you may need to know. SSTs also process PNOs for vehicles needing Planned Non-Operation status.

NOW 100.5′s First Annual “NOW That’s A Dress Party”

NOW 100.5′s First Annual “NOW That’s A Dress Party”

Nina at the Golden Globes

By Nina Hajian

How many dresses do you have in your closet that you don’t wear?  It seems silly to buy a dress and only wear it once but we all do it!

With Facebook, twitter and instagram it’s like we all walk our very own red carpet every day. Who wants to be photographed in the same dress multiple times?  There’s a way to solve this problem, get you new dresses, and do good by helping WEAVE all at the same time.

Back when I was getting ready to go to the Golden Globes I was encouraged by one of our faithful NOW 100.5 listeners to donate my gown to a high school student that couldn’t afford a prom dress.  I loved the idea!  Every girl remembers her prom and whether it’s good or bad she at least deserves to feel beautiful.
