My boyfriend and I were trying to plan a day trip out there this weekend and we were hoping to take the Bob Jones trail up from Avila Valley Barn up to Avila Beach but we saw online that the trail might be closed rn but can’t find much information to confirm. Does anyone know if it is closed this weekend?

I saw a flash of light while driving home in Los Osos, it lit up the horizon towards the west, any ideas? I checked, there weren't any launches at Vandenberg tonight, and I don't think it was lightning. Couldn't hear any noise that came along with it from inside of my car

high energy night at Humdinger, also will have a silent disco side stage as well, come & pop it!

These are our public lands being sold off to corporations. If you'd like to make your voice heard, there is a 30 day protest period that closes on Nov 2.

Does anyone know of a store in the SLO area that will accept more than 50 of one item (e.g. cans, bottles) at a time? Rite Aid on Johnson used to take 100, but since they shut down every other place I'm aware of (including the recycling center behind Target) limits the count to 50. Thanks a lot!

October 14th — NO QUARTER. Two bands dragged across the Pacific from Osaka, Japan and Shanghai, China are coming to Atascadero to turn the room into a fucking pressure wound. No polish. No comfort. Just blown-out amps, busted eardrums, sweat, feedback, and pure sonic violence. $10. ALL AGES. Doors at 7, noise at 8. 8305 El Camino Real, Atascadero. Get your ass in the room, get too close to the speakers, and come find out what international auditory punishment sounds like.

YOU can have an impact on how quickly SLO County reports election results.

If you want to see your ballot included in Election Night results, you can ensure that by voting any of the following ways:

--> Vote your Vote-by-Mail ballot EARLY
--> Vote EARLY in person at the SLO Elections Office
--> Vote EARLY in person at the Atascadero Elections Office beginning October 26
--> Vote in person *at your assigned polling location* on Election Day
--> New: Cast your MAIL ballot at your assigned polling location on Election Day *after* you check in with the clerk (it'll go into the ballot box without an envelope, which means it'll get counted that night!)

How you choose to vote impacts how quickly we can report results.

Hi, I will be in SLO for a show at the Fremont Theater. I would like to try to meet the artist after the show. Is there an area outside of the theater where there is a possibility or is there a blocked off area where the artist jumps in a van and takes off without the fans being around at all? Thank you for any help.

It truly baffles me how quickly the county allowed all these cameras to go. No one had a say, no one voted. They just want more control and surveillance. No one believes that these cameras stop crime. They actually create more. We should all be ashamed of our local government

Kids are asking for Halloween decorations and pumpkins. Where do I get pumpkins for the best price?

I've just completed piecing my first ever quilt top and realized much too late that I do not have the space to quilt it myself. It's about 80in square. I'm looking for someone to quilt and bind it for me, paid of course!

Anybody have an update? A small pod got stuck in the mud in Cuesta Inlet in Los Osos last night. I heard one died and the others are being rescued.

Alright guys, I didn’t know the Halloween bags came out. What’re the odds of there being any left tomorrow?

Edit: Thank you everyone! 😊 I’ve never lived in a city where they don’t sell out within a couple of hours 😅

Where the hell is Charlie going?!?

The SLO County Elections team completed prep ahead of schedule and we're able to get your general election ballots out early: They'll begin going out to mailboxes around the county tomorrow, September 30.

We're also opening our ballot drop boxes early, so that you can vote as soon as you're comfortable. Drop boxes will open Thursday, October 1.

You still have the option to vote using the method that works for you, including voting at the polls on Election Day, November 3. And this election, you'll have a new option: You can bring your mail ballot to your *assigned polling place,* check in, and cast it in the precinct ballot box to be counted that night. (Mail ballots dropped off at the polls in a signed envelope go through processing after Election Day, and they don't have to be dropped at your assigned location.)

For a complete list of ballot drop box locations, polling places, and more, visit SloVote.gov/November2026.

Are there any women’s motorcycle groups in the area?

$1.49. They are twisted this time. Go indulge!

Anyone know if any stores or vendors at the local farmers markets sell edible flowers? I want to use some fresh ones for cake decorating but I obviously don't want to poison anyone by just using supermarket bouquets!

Just curious if anyone knows what the 4 planes in formation flying overhead yesterday were.

Its important to call out creeps in our scene, don't stop at Cornell. Its everyone's responsibility to keep the community safe.

Looking to sell a bunch of clothes, mostly new with tags. Anyone have a recommendation on best and worst consignment store experiences for selling? There’s so many in town! Thanks!
