Jun 22 - One of the best parts of being a councilmember is the opportunity to lift up the stories of constituents, their passions, and their businesses. Last month, I sat down with Ted Fong, the producer of Sactown Stories to narrate the story of the family behind some of Sacramento's best cinnamon rolls, the Taings. Sandy and Larry Taing fled war in Cambodia in 1980 and came to the U.S. Their first jobs were in a fabric factory making $3.50 per hour. They settled in Sacramento, raised three kids, and opened up Spinners. This story is about two recent crises that almost took away everything they worked for. You can watch it here, http://sactownstories.com/spinners/ and you can find their decadent treats at the intersection of South Land Park and Sutterville across the street from Land Park. Read Post
