I took my teenager to tour Cal Poly a couple of weeks ago. We spent the weekend in Cayucos, a tiny beach town north of SLO.
Technically the campus is closed to visitors for Covid but we drove around a bit. It's more modern than I expected, with lots of new construction. The place looked idyllic with all the young people hanging out in the sun working on their laptops.
One of my buddies who went to Cal Poly said that at his freshman orientation the university president apologized to them all in advance, telling them that they're going to have a wonderful four years in SLO and then they'll have to leave because there aren't enough jobs in the central coast for all of the grads.
We tried to eat at Firestone Grill, which a lot of people here are recommending. Not surprisingly the line was out the door around the corner.
Went to Old Slo BBQ instead. All weekend I was hoping for some tasebud-blowing tri-tip. This one was just OK.
