The down town area of SLO is exciting and filled with cultural statements concerning this educational village on the Central Coast of California.
My wife and I love to visit Mission Plaza. According to the cities website, "In 1772, Father Junipero Serra founded Mission San Luis Obispo De Tolosa near the banks of San Luis Obispo Creek. Today, the Old Mission still holds regular services, and is the focus for the city’s most cherished public open space—Mission Plaza. It consists of a two block area with a large public plaza, seating areas, and pathways between the Mission and businesses on the opposite side of the Creek. The plaza has continued to grow and evolve in phases over the last two decades. To read the history of SLO Click Here.
