P-push it real good.

Groundbreaking strides were made this week on the new county Homeless Services Center with a ceremony held Wednesday at 40 Prado Lane in SLO. [cue the big smiles and gold shovels] The momentum keeps on rollin’ as the final push of cash money needed to complete the fundraising could be just days away. Rick Stollmeyer (AKA our local MindBody guru, err, CEO) and his wife Jill, have pledged to match every dolla-bill you donate, up to $125K – which would give the center the remaining $250K needed for their $5.4 mill. goal. Boom.

The innovative facility will consolidate the homeless services under one roof. The collaborative network, which is desperately needed for our county, will better aid our homeless population on paths toward stability and permanent housing. So break out those dolla-bills and take some sage advice from Salt-n-Peppa.  #GetUpOnThis

Let’s celebrate with a street party.

That new downtown Chinatown project is finally taking shape. Regardless of your feelings about corporate greed seeping into the ‘happiest city in America,’ who doesn’t need more lululemon pants and Williams Sonoma ramekin sets, ammiright? So remember, remember the 5th of November, the free Monterey Street Festival from 12-4pm – food. bands. fun. #yogapantsoptional

Gotta taste ‘em all.

It’s time for the annual Harvest on the Coast festival. Winos and foodies unite in Avila to expose their palates to the best of what the Central Coast has to offer. For those of you with tickets to Friday’s sold out winemaker dinner, don’t drink it all because you’ve got two more days to go! There’s still plenty of tickets available for Saturday’s Grand Tasting event. But wait there’s more … keep your entry bracelet for free tastings and live music at all participating wineries on Sunday. #andyouthoughdacubsgaveyouahangover

The next city mandate?

Not so fast. SLO City Council is standing up for their “secure and diversified future water supply” after a front page article in the Tribune gave prominence to a group of locals who urged the city council to consider a two-year moratorium on new development and asked for larger study to assess this city’s future water supplies.

To show they’re not gonna take it, no, they’re not gonna take it, the City released this 14-page thing, assuring residents about the city’s future water supply, and trying to assuage fears that new development could be halted for two years. SLO Councilmember Carlyn Christianson called the moratorium request “fear-mongering at its worst”.

Let Jan Marx and the council know what you think about water, development… or showering with a friend here

Put on your drinking pants.
