Dog Park Party
Saturday, it was fund-raising, garage-sale day for El Chorro Dog Park. This has been an annual fund-raiser for the park for several years now and is part of the city-wide Garage Sale Day. El Chorro (located across from Cuesta College on Hwy 1) is maintained by volunteers so every penny of the sale went to the park. The town was packed and there were lots of treasures to be found. Weather perfect, people out having a good time.
If you've got a dog and are a regular El Chorro visitor and want to get involved in supporting the park by volunteering, there's contact information posted on the kiosk at the park.

Now your dogs can have real dog food late at night. Just pick up a few burgerish patties and beef-juice fries at the take-out window and your dogs will thank you for the once-frozen vittles.
I still prefer to have a McDonald's than the Sweet Springs Saloon in the neighborhood.
What a travesty the 4-1 vote by the BOS was; and the one vote against, by Mr. Gibson, was most likely just political theater to help with his environmental cred for his next upcoming election. Most likely Bruce realized the vote was going to go the way it did so he could vote no on it and it really wouldn't change anything. Nice to see the business interest winning out over the objections of the local residents, again. /snark
Bob, see today's posting. Very interesting subject.
Anon 10:03. Feed my dogs mcDonalds? Gak! I'd get arrested for animal cruelty!
Anon: 12:16. Actually, if they were located next to one another, and the McDonald's allowed to be open 24 hrs, all the drunks could WALK (as opposed to driving) over to McD's when the bar closes, and get some coffee and eats so as to sober up enough to go back to Sweet Springs to start drinking when it opens up at 6.am. Might be a good fit, business model-wise?
So you think the Sweet Springs is a great fit for LO? Super location, right in the middle of the sewer named Los Osos and close to the school and library. You have to love that intersection too!
Anony 11:56: That intersection by Sweet Springs is a wonderful illustration of what passes for County Planning. If memory serves, the plan was to push a 4 lane road out as far as possible (the thinking was that Montana de Oro would be a huge draw and tourists needed to get past the bottle neck of downtown with all it's outdated street lights and tangled up no-left-turn outlets on it's litle two lane main st., etc. so they put in this HUGE freeway width street but ran smack into Sweet Springs. Couldn't widen that without whacking off a huge chunk of the building. So we're left with this weird 4-lane "freeway" that slams shut at S.S. And, of course, Montana de Oro didn't turn into a HUGE tourist draw with thousands of daily visitors. Oh, well.
