Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Off the Wall<br />
4 MUST-SEE MURALS<br />
by BELLA NOLEN<br />
Art is everywhere if we know where to look. Whether on a<br />
brick wall, inside restaurants, or in the heart of a community,<br />
local artists have given us the gift of art that embodies nature,<br />
culture, and history. The very buildings that have been a part<br />
of the hustle and bustle of our lives have become a canvas—<br />
an opportunity to remind us of our past, the beauty of the<br />
present, and the possibilities of the future.<br />
“<br />
Art<br />
enables<br />
us to find<br />
ourselves<br />
and lose<br />
ourselves<br />
at the<br />
same<br />
”<br />
time.<br />

Rubicon Trail by Oran Miller<br />
Celebrating history and innovation in<br />
our community, local artist Oran Miller<br />
recently finished a mural inside the<br />
Thompson Jeep Automall in Placerville.<br />
After roughly 100 hours of work,<br />
Miller’s piece depicts the significance<br />
of the Rubicon Trail’s history. “It goes<br />
back to just after World War II,” Miller<br />
explains. “When the soldiers came<br />
home—they had a need for adventure,<br />
and the Rubicon provided that.” The<br />
mural consists of a roadmap, starting<br />
at the dealership (to commemorate<br />
the mural’s location), to Walker Hill,<br />
Loon Lake, Lake Tahoe, and other<br />
spots along the trail. Throughout<br />
the route are four different styles<br />
of Jeeps, the last one a depiction of<br />
“early Jeepers in their C.J. (Civilian<br />
Jeep) models, cruising around the<br />
corner and enjoying freedom and<br />
[family].” Ultimately, Miller’s mural<br />
allows us to take a step back in time<br />
while remaining rooted in the present.<br />

Folsom Wing Mural by Silvie Park<br />
Since childhood, local artist Silvie Park has<br />
dabbled with many mediums: drawing, painting,<br />
ceramics, and murals. After coming across a<br />
photo of a pair of wings located in Nashville, TN,<br />
Park was instantly reminded of Folsom’s Historic<br />
District and the culture so heavily engrained in the<br />
downtown area. From there, the artist’s creativity<br />
gave flight to her first mural: a pair of angel wings that<br />
she donated as a voluntary community service project.<br />
The city’s motto, “Distinctive by Nature,” influenced her<br />
decision to make the mural nature-themed, which gave way<br />
to her research put into the project. Combining Folsom’s<br />
outdoorsy, culturally rich heritage—including features like<br />
the Rainbow Bridge, Johnny Cash’s hat, a bike wheel, and<br />
Winnie the Sutter Street Pig—the mural, sited on the corner<br />
of Sutter Street and Wool Street (on the side of Dorothea’s<br />
Shoppe) was created. @silviepark<br />
