Sep 09, 2011A Taste of Downtown - Paso Robles
September is a really busy month for us on the Central Coast. The kids are all going back to school (well, many of them have been back since August but for me September always signaled the final push of summer), we have SLO County Wine Month going on, not to mention that this is really one of my

Gem & Mineral Show
I remember once I went to Colorado for a family trip as a child. I had such a wonderful time. It was so different from my home – on the Central Coast we have rolling hills, in Colorado they have mountains (serious mountains, too!); on the Central Coast we have sunny days year around a lovely mild

Avila Fish & Farmer’s Market
I am all about the farmer’s markets around town – I think I’ve written about three of them on this blog already – but I have to say that even as a local, I had no idea that Avila had a Fish Farmer’s Market until reading about it on the SLO VCB website the other day. The market is located right on

Thomas Hill Organics
I had lunch the other day at the Thomas Hill Organic Restaurant in Paso Robles. It came with a solid recommendation from my mother who knew all about it from the reputation of their farm, vines, and CSA. Let me just say, I was completely blow away at the freshness of the foods at the restaurant,

Visit the Children’s Museum!
When I was a kid, I remember LOVING the Children’s Museum in San Luis Obispo. It’s always different approaching these sorts of things as an adult – things never seem so large, so grand, so amazing as when you’re 3 feet high and 40 pounds. But I still think, so this day, that it’s one of the coolest

Central Coast Chili Challenge
Remember when we celebrated the Cambria Chili Cook Off and Car Show way back when? Well, in my book, there really isn’t much better than a good chili cook off, so we have another one for you. After you’ve imbibed your fill at the Brew at the Zoo on Saturday, fill your tummy with the yummiest chili

What Are You Doing This Weekend?
We are always on the look out for the very best of the Central Coast to recommend to our guests. Here are the El Colibri, all of the staff have a pretty good handle on the pulse of the Central Coast (that is, after all, one of the reasons why we’ve hired such outstanding individuals) but every

Piedras Blancas Lighthouse & Tour
Have you been to the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse before? The Lighthouse is a very special spot with a rich history stretching back to the first time Europeans landed on present day-California soil. In 1542 Juan Cabrillo began his grand exploration of the California coast, travelling up from Mexico

Downtown Paso Robles Farmer’s Market
We’ve already told you all about San Luis Obispo’s Farmer’s Market (and how totally awesome it is with the street performers, local artisans, local farmers, and all kinds of delicious dinner items) – but if you haven’t read about it, you should check it out here. All of this is definitely worth
