    • Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa is one of the missions to give birth (and name) to a town. It was established on 9/1/1772. Among California's missions, Mission SLO is the only one that still has the original facade. Also, Mission SLO is a road-side mission; the plaza in front of it was the old #101 highway.

    • San Luis Obispo - Grizzly bears

    • In front of Mission SLO you'll see a sculpture of grizzly bears. In fact, grizzly bears are an important part of Mission SLO's history. During the Mission's early years, the abundant grizzly bear population in the area saved Mission SLO and nearby missions from starvation. But I don't think there are grizzly bears around the Mission anymore.

    • San Luis Obispo - Ah Louis Store

    • Established in 1874, Ah Louis Store is the first Chinese store in San Luis Obispo County. It sold general merchandise and herbs and served as a bank, accounting house, and post office for the numerous Chinese coolies who dug the eight tunnels through the mountains of Cuesta for the Southern Pacific Railroad from 1884 to 1894.

    Today Ah Louis Store continues to open. It's a California registered historic landmark.

    • Ah Louis Store is located at 800 Palm St, at the intersection of Palm and Chorro. Look at the antique they displayed in the window. Wow... it hasn't changed for more than 100 years.

    • In San Luis Obispo, you'll find a farmers' market every Thursday night at Higuera Street. Several blocks of streets are filled with merchants selling fruits, nuts, honey, and BBQ. It has very relaxing atmosphere, a great pastime for the locals.

    • At San Luis Obispo's farmers' market, you'll find street musicians in many corners. This is a group from Australia. They sound more professional than others. They travel as a group, with agents and schedule. They sell their CDs on the spot. Even other musicians stopped and listened.
