An amazing collection of eclectic, fascinating, and talented individuals from all walks of life have chosen to make this part of the coast their home. Many of those who don't already live here, wonder how they can make the move. Read More

Letters to the Editor
From: Ed Benson
Recent transplant from San Luis Obispo
So the Coastal Commission stood up the Morro Bay's incompetent, morally bankrupt new "leadership" over the wastewater treatment plant. Good for them and shame on Yates and his pets for wasting time, money, and simple good sense on trying to push through a ridiculous system. Is there any chance saner minds will work for the good of the community and do the right thing? Yates III is going to be a long term. Again. Thank god we have a Coastal Commission!!!! Read More
Stan's Place
It is mainly in tribute to Stan that the Slo Coast Journal was conceived. He loved this community and the people in it. One of the things he shared with me was how important it was that we all have a voice. He felt that we should be reminded of how fortunate we are to live here, because we often take our place for granted. We in small communities have something to hold on to - the ability to know our neighbors and to understand how we all contribute to the lives of each other. Stan enabled that through his columns. Hopefully we at the Journal will continue, in our own way, that service to you.
I'm no Stan Thompson. I can't write like he did or capture that warmth and generosity of spirit he shared through his columns. But others will be here to continue to introduce you to your neighbors. When you read these pages, please think of our Stan and smile. Read More
