Met John Wayne in the Lillian Russel Room. Fun times!&#8221; &#8211; Sue Brady Morris.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h1 data-section-id=\"1ciy1dh\" data-start=\"674\" data-end=\"744\">Sam\u2019s Town: The Highway 50 Legend El Dorado County Still Talks About<\/h1>\n<p data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"845\">There are places people remember.<br data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"782\" \/>Then there are places people <em data-start=\"811\" data-end=\"817\">feel<\/em> long after the doors close.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"847\" data-end=\"1294\">For generations traveling the Highway 50 corridor through <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Cameron Park<\/span><\/span>, Sam\u2019s Town was more than a roadside restaurant. It was a ritual. A landmark. A halfway stop between the valley heat and the cool pines of <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">South Lake Tahoe<\/span><\/span>. And if the stories pouring out across local social media are any indication, the old western-themed destination still occupies a permanent corner of El Dorado County memory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1296\" data-end=\"1746\">The formula was simple: frozen mugs of beer, baskets of peanuts, sawdust-covered floors and permission \u2014 encouraged, really \u2014 to throw the shells straight onto the ground. Kids darted between arcade machines while parents settled into booths beneath wagon wheels and western memorabilia. Live music rolled from the honky-tonk room. The candy store smelled like saltwater taffy and sugar. And somewhere in the background, somebody was always laughing.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1748\" data-end=\"1826\">\u201cThis was my childhood,\u201d wrote Katie Norwood. \u201cSo sad when they tore it down.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"2060\">Another former visitor, Wanda Gaines, recalled annual family trips to Tahoe that always included a stop at Sam\u2019s Town.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"2060\">\u201cWe loved playing all the games, listening to the live music and throwing peanut shells on the floor,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2407\">Built along Highway 50 in Cameron Park, Sam\u2019s Town operated from 1967 until 2000 and became one of the most recognizable roadside attractions in Northern California. Travelers described it as impossible to miss. For many Sacramento-area families, stopping there became tradition \u2014 right alongside destinations like the old Nut Tree in Vacaville.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2409\" data-end=\"2777\">Locals remembered everything from skee-ball alleys to antique museums and the famous Lillian Russell Room, where families celebrated birthdays, anniversaries and wedding nights. Bob Springer recalled splurge dinners in the upscale dining room, while others remembered eating barbecue sandwiches in the Sawdust Room before rushing back to the arcade.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2779\" data-end=\"2811\">The stories are deeply personal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2813\" data-end=\"3142\">One former employee remembered earning $1.65 an hour while working through college. Another recalled meeting his future wife there. Several longtime residents described Sam\u2019s Town as their first job, first date, first concert or first taste of independence as teenagers gathering in the parking lot after football games or races.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3144\" data-end=\"3232\">For many, the loss of Sam\u2019s Town symbolizes something larger than a demolished building.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3234\" data-end=\"3301\">\u201cIt killed part of the history of Highway 50,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3303\" data-end=\"3705\">Today, the site is occupied by Forklift Market and surrounding retail development, but longtime residents say the replacement never captured the same spirit. What once felt handcrafted and chaotic now feels polished and temporary. The western facades, the museum artifacts, the old train engine and the \u201c<em>Planet of the Apes<\/em>\u201d wagon are gone, scattered into private collections, auctions or memory itself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3707\" data-end=\"3824\">Yet in a county where growth continues to reshape old landmarks, Sam\u2019s Town remains stubbornly alive in conversation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3826\" data-end=\"4046\">People still remember the coldest beer in town.<br data-start=\"3873\" data-end=\"3876\" \/>They remember Bob Ringwald playing piano in the honky-tonk.<br data-start=\"3935\" data-end=\"3938\" \/>They remember air hockey battles, root beers, old arcade cabinets, the mechanical fortune teller machine and &#8220;Big Al and the Honkeytonks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4048\" data-end=\"4104\">Mostly, they remember a place that belonged to everyone.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4106\" data-end=\"4207\">And decades after the last peanut shell hit the floor, El Dorado County still hasn\u2019t quite let it go.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long before Forklift Market stood in Cameron Park, Sam\u2019s Town was the beating heart of Highway 50 travel culture \u2014 and locals still remember every peanut shell on the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12941,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"format":"standard","override":[{"template":"7","parallax":"1","layout":"no-sidebar-narrow","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"float","share_float_style":"share-normal","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","post_calculate_word_method":"str_word_count","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_popup_post":"1","show_comment_section":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"1","show_post_related":"1","show_inline_post_related":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","disable_ad":"0","subtitle":"From peanut shells on sawdust floors to arcade lights and honky-tonk nights, locals say Cameron Park\u2019s legendary roadside stop left behind more than memories"},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12940","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
