the words "tri tip" have never come out of my mouth so often until i came to SLO. Barbecue seems to be a big thing here. Tri tip sandwiches are really good here, especially at SLO Brew, and Firestone Grill. They're all over the place during Farmers. Leave a Comment

If you're in SLO and you need a fast food fix, don't expect you can just drive up to any, because there aren't any drive thrus in SLO, AT ALL. Just another exhibit of the community's power. I believe they felt it would take away from slo's downtown character, so hence no drive thrus. that's fine, we need the exercise anyways. . . . a short walk to get that greasy food, and a short walk back to your car.

The dress code here is simple enough; wear funky noisy sandals, a hooded sweat shirt with CalPoly printed on it, and your most colorful shorts and you will look like a native. One thing though, make sure your shorts reach your knees (if you're a man), or people will laugh and point. I have tons of German friends who insisted on wearing those speedos and were traumatized for life.
And oh, a wetsuit is the hottest thing you can wear on the beach. Leave a Comment

While the founders of many towns around San Luis Obispo were Spanish speakers, the later settlers were decidedly not. Thus you will find that the pronunciation of many landmarks has been thoroughly Anglicanized. For example...
San Luis Obispo = Lewis, NOT San Louie
Paso Robles = Robuls, NOT Roblays
Arroyo Grande = Grandy, NOT Granday
There are countless other examples - you will sometimes even hear Los Angeles prounced with a hard G. Leave a Comment
