r/SLO

I'm looking for recommendations for a cake (no fancy decorations) to pre-order, as well as a pizza place in Paso. Both would need to feed about 20 people and would be picked up by someone in the group. Would prefer to avoid large chains unless they really deliver great food beyond what a local shop can do! TIA!

AT&T's customer service is a Kafkaesque nightmare! Is Spectrum any better? Those seem to be my only options for Internet service.

And is there any way to speak to a human being at AT&T? I drove to the AT&T store on LOVR, but it seems that they can't do much besides sales.

Last January I put up a post on Craigslist looking for people who wanted to share their story on camera. A woman responded.

A few days later I showed up with my camera and we filmed for roughly four hours over two days. I had no idea what I was walking into. She opened up about everything: growing up on Long Island, moving to Shell Beach, two abusive relationships, homelessness in New York, drug addiction, and two pregnancies that changed the course of her life.

This story happened largely in and around the Central Coast.

Would love to do more stories of all sorts. If you know someone who might be interesting send me a message!

On the off chance anyone has recently had a new stucco installation- we are trying to select a color and our stucco vendor provided color samples for the Sika Senergy and Sika La Habra lines. Trying to choose the color for a whole house off a tiny square is tough. We can also do a color match but I was first going to see if one of these colors appeals to us.

Just wondering if any of you have recently had either product installed and if I can do a drive by. Obviously feel free to PM me if so. Online photos are minimal, even using site like houzz.

Also, has anyone found a way to visualize exterior color changes that you liked? I’ve tried the paint manufacturers sites and the results look terrible. Trying to get a realistic visual seems daunting.

hi everyone!!

my band and i are looking to play somewhere in downtown SLO this summer. would anyone be able to recommend some cool bars / venues that are normally open to booking smaller bands? any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

we’re a four-piece indie/alt rock band from LB. would be cool to play to a gen z/millenial crowd but anything works honestly!

thank you in advance!

I blew through my shoes in 5 months. Went there to buy another pair and ended up with free pair. (I didn’t even know the pair I bought came with a 6 month warranty.)

Apparently the nice couple that ran the place are no longer there, and it's now ran by someone else. Did they retire?

Ok treading lightly here.. how would you handle a neighbors noisy dog if haven’t met them yet? We’ve lived here for a few years, but we have flag lots, long private driveways. It’s norm for us to not see/meet people. Our neighbor has a dog who barks every afternoon at their back door (we can see it), for around 20-30 minutes until they call it inside. Which we can hear them do, meaning they ignore the barking perhaps? We have animals ourselves including dogs, so we are animal people + lovers through and through. But I can’t handle the consistent barks plus I honestly feel bad for the poor thing to be non stop barking like that.. Not sure if “reporting” them is necessary also not sure how I’d do that anyways… Any tips or suggestions? 🙏🏻

I really hope they’re closer to finding Kristen so her family can find some peace.

New to the Santa Maria area and looking to visit SLO this Friday, just generally check out the downtown area. Was looking at Woodstocks for lunch since they have a pizza buffet, but does anyone have any other local recommendations for lunch that is less than $15?

Also, if anyone is free this Friday and wants to meet up, just hang out for a few hours, feel free to message me!

i'm not upset at anyone or judging you if you don't attend! i'm just interested in the reasoning behind the decision. in the city of slo the time is pretty reasonable, there's a meeting today at 5:30 downtown, so what's the thought process you have?

Open to all levels and interest!

6:30pm, find us either upstairs or downstairs, there will be a little quilt sign at our table (depending on seating).

Bring something to share for Show N Tell! This can be a project you are currently working on or a past make!
