In SLO - go for a hike in the Irish Hills. Catch a show at the Fremont. Brunch at the Madonna Inn. Oyster Loft in Pismo. If you go to Morro Bay, eat at Tognazzini’s Dockside 2. The Garden Shop in Cambria; also, Moonstone Cottages in Cambria.
The train is not adjacent to the Miramar. It runs through the hotel!
Okay, maybe that is adjacent, but.....
Choose your poison: Marriott rates for a freeway/train adjacent room or $2400 a night for a train adjacent room at the Miramar
Luna Red in SLO ~ such a wonderful patio right next to the mission with delicious tapas. Giuseppe’s Italian in the same area. The best Italian in SLO as well as very good cocktails. I love to sit at the bar for lunch or dinner. The Black Sheep ~ a great bar downtown on a side street ~ reminds me of a back east bar.
The best thing they can do with the Ambassador Park is leave it alone - it is perfect as it is...
Ambassador Park is the last undeveloped strip of Cabrillo Blvd and the main entry and exit to the beach for all visitors and residents of West Beach for over 100 years!
However there is a park that needs help. The little park next to the huge Morten Bay Fig tree by the train station is actually where Portola camped in 1769 and met the Chumash from the Burton Mound for the first time. That park has ample parking is historically important and would be the very best place to do something to celebrate the Chumash history of the area. Ruining something that is already alive and working fine is a waste for everyone.
Geocaching.com may have the trademark on the term but there are still plenty of folks that use the term as a generic catch-all for clue-based location finding hunts.
Super happy for Jorge with his new location on State St. He was one of our business neighbors on the 1200 block of State St. and will be missed. He's a great example to entrepreneurs everywhere of the art of the possible and we hope his new location is a huge success.
The digital renderings of the Tri County parcel might just be showing the new construction and not the existing. A site plan might provide a clear answer. Tough design project to provide density and make it less generic.
Erik: Whenever we go to SLO, we approach it through See Canyon. The drive alone is worth it. Take the San Luis Bay Drive exit off the 101, head west, and turn right on See Canyon Road. Take a right at Prefumo Canyon Road, a T intersection. From there you get incredible views up the coast. The views are more for the passenger than the driver--the road requires full attention to drive. En route, stop at Gopher Glen Apple Farm, a quaint store that will have many varieties of apples throughout the season--the selection depends on when you go. My dog always likes to visit the chicken coop.
The Patio Cafe on De la Vina
I'm a former SBJHS student, and a resident of this neighborhood.
The folks living in those RVs etc are a quiet bunch. They don’t bother the kids. Yeah, some of the vehicles are in terrible shape. It’s gotta be hard when a beat up car or RV is your home.
I’m a small, disabled person. The Cacique St area is rough, and not somewhere I’d walk after dark. The area on DLG? No concerns. The vehicles are an eyesore, but otherwise? Non issue.
Don’t forget the RVs, cars, and vans installed along De La Guerra St, bordering the SBJH school field where students do PE and recess .A liner is installed along the fence that borders the field.
Might be part of some other GPS/location based game other than geocaching.com? That would have never been allowed to be listed on the game site. They have very specific rules to avoid situations like this. Just stating that it is definitely not a "geocache".
Spoken like a true person who lives nowhere near the problem. Love to see these RV encampments move up to the Mesa, San Roque, Goleta neighborhoods, Mission Canyon. You would have the people who love everyone and preach inclusivity screaming about how they love everyone, but it can't happen there because of the fire danger and there's just not enough room.
The same people who advocate for immigrants don't give a crap if immigrants have to live in super sketchy areas and walk by homeless people everywhere and groups of men living on the street. Imagine a 23-year-old young Mexican woman walking home from work at 10:30, passing these RVs, walking underneath the Cacique Bridge where five guys are laying around.
How does that work for the rights of the young immigrant woman who's put in that situation? Who do you defend, the RV dwellers or the vulnerable immigrants?
Because let's be real, and I know it's hard for some people to piece together, but the real community problems and safety issues are mainly where immigrants live. That's how it's designed. As much as privileged white people say they care about all these problems, they don't want them anywhere near them. They want them near the immigrants.
People don't get it. Overbuilding affects immigrants. Come home from 10 PM there's no parking. Homelessness affects immigrants. You should see the Latino families walking with her kids I have to step over Body's on Milpas. It's embarrassing and not correct. It doesn't happen on the same scale in white affluent communities.
What draconian measures are you referring to? Making an area unavailable for overnight parking? There’s a lot to unpack here but it’s definitely a cleanliness issue and safety issue for the community. I’m not suggesting that people shouldn’t be treated with dignity and respect, but that dignity and respect needs to extent to the community itself. Creating an area that is unsafe is not an acceptable solution.
Concrete houses can burn too. Just because your walls aren’t concrete doesn’t mean your house won’t burn down. Essentially living in a kiln.
RV dwellers are people too. They are already broke where will they go? These types of draconian measures are not supported by the majority of residents and will be directly challenged in court. Any Officer or City Employee who willfully participates in the crackdown will be subject to litigation and potential Federal Charges
I live in a concrete house. It has lots of beautiful plantings growing up the walls. Decades of home ownership hacked away to keep my concrete house from burning down.
When in SLO, dine on the patio at Piadina one evening (Hotel SLO) and have the Herb Roasted Chicken. Absolutely to die for. Live music on the weekend.
My husband just installed a new wooden gate he designed & built- next up, double gates on south side of house.
I see the need to have homeowners do more prevention around their homes- but this seems ridiculous compared to leaving the entire Gaviota Coast without a decent firebreak.
The motorhomes parked on Santa Claus lane has effected those of us who would like to use this beach! How nice to be able to have beach front property living out of your motor home ! Put the word out !! Free Housing Santa Claus lane for the homeless
Yes, I started taking Quarantina to get to our dog school and was surprised at the conditions down there. Feel like the city needs to come up with some solutions for all the people living in rv’s.
Those N are part of a geocache hunt that someone put up around town back in 2022. Glued those tiles to city property, historic sites as well as personal property without approval. Have been trying to get the city to remove them for years.
Why not just raise prices??
Take the train.
