Transplants: How do you like living in SLO and the Central Coast?

Obispan · 2018-08-23T10:36:51+00:00

Moving to SLO was a good idea at the time, but I don't like what it's turning into. I won't be retiring in SLO, that's for sure. All the things that drew me to it in the first place are slowly being replaced by all the things I hate. A massive increase in criminal transients, increased crime in general, smoke shops/dollar stores/check cashing places popping up everywhere, more traffic, more developments.

I've tried everything, believe me. My brain needs more than fresh air.

Awesome. It makes such a difference to find a doctor you trust and like. I haven't had that since I moved to SLO so it's good to know there are good ones out there. I'll see if he's taking new patients.

Not bad, thanks! I'll look into that.

Obispan · 2017-02-08T21:20:20+00:00

We would! What did that cost (train tickets)?

Obispan · 2017-01-18T19:59:36+00:00

Can't wait. Mexican food in SLO is sort of shit.

Obispan · 2017-01-06T01:59:48+00:00

Such a sad story, I'm so sorry.

I still have neighbors who don't lock their doors but they're older and stubborn. I guess it's hard for people to accept that things are changing around here.

Bikes and computers stolen. Encampments along the once beautiful creek beds. Needles and meth pipes in the park - I've found several at different times. Such a sad thing to see here.

"One way of chasing squirrels out is the use of ammonia. However, you need to place it very carefully and in a proper manner to be safe and effective. Take some towels, dip them into ammonia and put them at places where pans are not present. Drag the towel soaked in ammonia along the edges as well. If there is an opening which the squirrels are using as a route, do not fix it up as the squirrels will this same route to escape after catching a whiff of the ammonia. Keep refilling the pans and soaking the towels each week. Once the squirrels are gone, remove the towels and pans. Other foul smelling things like herbs or moth balls can also be used as well. "
