County wants to spend millions to rid Pirates Cove of nudists
Whether you have been there or not, you’ve likely heard of Pirates Cove, the beautiful beach in Shell Beach situated below The Bluffs neighborhood. Most have never been there since it’s not convenient to access, having to park in a dusty dirt lot, and hike down a trail to get there. But it is popular [...]
Preservation is a Green Strategy
Many here in San Luis Obispo may not realize that a number of historic structures in our Downtown may soon have a date with the wrecking ball. Larry Hoyt, the owner of the Mancillas Frietas Adobe at 868 Chorro Street plans to surround his structure with 3 floors of housing. In order to make this [...]
Friends don’t let friends bash Starbucks
If you’ve been in any of the non-chain coffee shops in San Luis Obispo county, you’ve no doubt seen the stickers on some of the walls that read, “Friends don’t let friends go to Starbucks.” And you’ve no doubt heard locals make derogatory comments about Starbucks, the evil “corporate” chain. Just what is it that [...]
Have an Opinion? Start Writing
This county is crazy about expressing their opinions — from sending letters into the local papers to calling up Dave Congalton on the radio; but these only provide platforms for a fleeting moment: here today, gone tomorrow.

Uh, a health magazine? A decades-long smoker? One who won't release his medical records (McCain released 1200 pages)? One could could die of lung cancer? Hmmm, could there be a little bias? Naw, not in this election! LOL!
: Warning! Be careful going to Santa Maria. If you must, don't go at night! Have you read about all the murders and robberies? It's getting bad.
: Goodbye Insomniac Video, sorry to see you go. Thanks to Bob Whiteford for his 12 years of serving our community.
: I'm happy airlines are leaving our airport! It will help reduce growth since many people will not move here unless they can easily fly in and out. Businesses will think twice too. We can have SLO to ourselves! And those of us staying in town more will spend our money locally, not on vacations. Staycation here! We'll still get tourists driving in from the north, south and east. Our tourism economy will survive.
: "They" say that all politics are local. The same greed and mismanagement that has led us to national failure will soon visit us in SLO if developers and "consultants" [read lobbyists] get their way and turn the small-town ambience of SLO into just another shopping stop between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Vote out incumbents and elect Terry MOHAN, Dan CARPENTER and John ASHBAUGH, who will represent the wishes of the majority and the general plan. They won't run SLO for the convenience of just a few but will "run" this town for the residents.
: Another beautiful day in paradise
: Isn't it nice that the tourists have gone home now! I love September and October.
: Comment wall, huh? That's sounds fun. Wish I had something interesting to say right now.
: Interesting site. I'll think about writing an article. Good idea.
