El Tizon closed in SLO and Taqueria Moreno closed in Pismo, signaling the end of good tacos for both towns. Burritos Express from NoCo is opened in the world’s most famous Taco Bell, which won’t kill you…

Beach Burger’s for sale… Splash Cafe closed… Mint+Craft or the biscuit place or whatever closed, selling everything tomorrow… Upstairs, Region has turned Mestiza into an event center… Rambling Spirits is open, huge grand opening party tomorrow…

The African vegan soup place is now a matcha shop in the Public Market. I want to know what ceremonial grade matcha is… On a VERY desolate block of Broad Street: Big Sky closed… TheCity of SLO has started a campaign to *let them know what’s wrong with downtown*… where do you start. Just you wait til something os ASH’s closes. Then shit’ll hit the fan.

The place next door is papered for a piercing studio or something weird and on the other side of shuttered Highwater another mexican is going in. Rumors of Bear & the Wren being open continue to float around. If only more people woud ride their bikes.

Further down, Giant Grinder has a alc license in window and Village Host is dark and not a single surface inside that restaurant has been cleaned in 20 years. Down in Pismo, somebody new is trying the Central Coast Meat Market location; in Grover City, there’s an alcohol license up in FUEGO, but I’m pretty sure they never had beer there, so might be just new. It’s white.

And did you know Brooke Stockwell landed at LOWM? And the R&H whiskey lounge at the carrisa is open during market on Thursday nights now. CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Haven’t figured out what Larder is becoming yet and liquor license up at the Peruvian place in the back of mission Mall. Good night now.
