companies like Hewlett Packard and NEC Electronics.
Roseville is growing rapidly. Current population is
about 75,000. Everywhere in town there are new buildings going up,
commercial buildings along Douglas Blvd.,
Eureka Rd., Harding
Blvd. and |

new homes
concentrated in the northwest section of town.
Roseville is the major hub for retail shopping in
South Placer County with Costco, Borders Books, Target, Blockbuster Video,
Home Depot, Office Max, etc. A new regional mall, Galleria at Roseville
is anchored by Nordstrom's, Macy's, JC Penney, and
Sears.
In contrast to the new, are
the older and charming parts of Roseville. The original downtown offers an
