BUEN DIA is inching forward in literally *paint-drying* steps toward the new market in Mission Mall… Crumbl Cookie closed. There’s a shocker. Guess not enough blinged-out jeans and bad hair-color in this town for $72/dozen cookies… Speaking of pointless businesses, the cookie dough place in SLO is closing.

OLD SAN LUIS BBQ is opening a new location in Marigold Center by Tuesday Morning. Yay! TWO locations for their dry meat, powdered Parmesan and flavorless beans for people who have never had real food–all served gloriously in clamshell with plastic forks. I can’t wait. Speaking of Marigold, popped into SHALIMAR‘s new location there to…
