Home of Cal Poly state University and Cuesta College, this historic city has a population of 42,000 people. With one of California's original missions still in use in the heart of the downtown, the city is steeped in history. Gracious old Victorian homes surround the vibrant downtown area. One of few cities which has survived urban sprawl, San Luis Obispo's major shopping areas are in its downtown as well. With perhaps more movie screens and restaurants per capita than found in most major metropolitan areas, San Luis Obispo is the cultural hub of the County. It is a 10 to 20 minute drive from many of the County's communities, including Cayucos, Morro Bay, and Los Osos. Every Thursday night there is the farmers market, one of the first, running continuously since 1982. There you'll find street food, fresh produce, music and performance, and late evening shopping. And you are bound to find someone you know. |
