I loved walking through this town. The Thursday farmers market were the best. When family came to visit this was a requested location to visit. Woodstock pizzeria is a must try.
Excellent video. I haven't stayed in SLO for years, the last few times was to watch Cal Poly baseball, before they moved to an on campus facility. You've got me motivated for a return visit!
no, it's named after "saint Luis the bishop of Toulouse" and Obispo was the name of a small group of Chumash who already lived here when the spanish landed
I will proudly state that this is my town and living here is like heaven! You did a great job with the video. There are actually fish in the creek. Last week, we celebrated a birthday with a whale watching tour out of Avila Beach (just minutes from SLO) and it was the absolute BEST day. We watched whales, porpoises and sea lions for hours! I love this place SO much! ❤️ The local people are incredibly warm, friendly, (mostly) sane and well-educated.
As a local I so appreciate that you picked up on our positive and friendly vibe. May I suggest if you want to experience that vibe on steroids come back next June for our Live Oak Music Festival? You'll thank me. 😉
Gaylor, Marjorie, Crawford, and Axel grow up in San Luis Obispo in California. They were best friends in kindergarten. They're the four protagonists from my story Gaylor Jacobsmeyer. Polly Parker is a very beautiful girl, and she's got a huge crush on Gaylor. She dreamed about marrying him in their 20s.
Wow I haven't been in SLO farmers market in years because the streets were so crowded you couldn't get through without being shoved. Now I guess due to Covid the streets are empty.
The original pronunciation is luu east. Luis Spanish version why this was Mexico before it was California bf the white man took over okay thank you So the original version you mention is not accurate sir .
Dear SLO locals - fear not! For I will NEVER visit your crappy excuse of town again. When the ‘big one’ hits, yours will be the first claimed by the Pacific. 😂
Well since I lived here for over 40 years and San Luis Obispo is what you call a liberal democrat town and if you're Republican you're not welcome here. It used to be a red conservative town and a much more nicer place to live 20 years ago versing today which you got a bunch of leftists who destroyed the town's design attitude and morality. We got crazy bike lanes now (since bicycles are the transportation of the liberals), rainbow crosswalks, blm symbols and etc flags it's just completely ridiculous now versing years ago. The town has been ruined by these leftists that are running the city council, city employees, and also SLO chamber are nothing but a bunch of leftists. It is a shame to see how bad it's gotten here. A lot of people that have lived here over the years saying look at what the millennials have done to San Luis Obispo, it's very simple they ruined it. And that mayor Heidi Harmon she is completely ruined this town with her left-wing etiology policies. She turned it into a welcome city opening up the flood lines with illegal immigrants, she disconnected gas lines, she proposed these crazy bicycle Lanes all over the place, eliminating parking downtown, she supported crazy protest downtown and ride it with the protesters, she's separated the town that Cal poly comes first not the residents, she ramped up homelessness we have people living on the streets and in the RVs everywhere and etc The person that did this video need to see a flashback of what it was like here in 2004 and prior that so he can get a rough idea how much has changed and the people have changed. This is a Bernie Sanders Town and it's pathetic
That’s really unfortunate to hear. I was thinking about starting a business there, but I heard that the homeless population is going up and the city is opening up shelters. Do you think it’s a good idea to start a restaurant business there?
@@Hellocali1 not sure, there's no parking. They taken 3 traffic lanes to 2 lanes then 2 lanes to 1 lane. The roads are congested as carrier's like FedEx UPS USPS DHL and even firetrucks and ambulances are all have to take shortcuts to bypass roads now. The locals just don't go downtown anymore it's all based on tourism now. I wish the town wasn't political on both sides but I rather a have a neutral downtown instead as that would be a given but it's not happening here. Two years ago we had protests everywhere downtown that went on and the businesses downtown got broken windows and spray paint of BLM lgbtq all sorts of crazy things (and the City Hall and the chamber of commerce supported the protest) on businesses and business owners were threatened if they didn't post posters or flyers on their businesses they would receive no business or they could suffer unexpected crime in front of their business, that is the attitude of the downtown and it's sad because I grew up here since 1978. I've seen the town in its prime but now it's all stacking pack housing, homeless living in front of businesses at night, the police department unwilling to take care of the problem, it's almost a selected business community such as the chamber of commerce whether you agree with the chamber or not if you don't agree with the chamber of commerce you're not welcome to do business downtown like Animal Farm, all businesses are equal, but some businesses are more equal than others, that's perception of the business downtown and city hall. It was a nice place to do business but it's impossible to get customers how the city designed that's bottleneck the roads and has decided in favor of the special interest vs. small mom-and-pop businesses there left on the side, it's just not the same in my view.
@@Hellocali1 I would consider Pismo Beach if you want to start a business. There was a restaurant in San Luis Obispo called Moe's BBQ it was a great place it closed down about six weeks ago and no one knows why but it was a fact of lost business parking and customers were dwindling because of the downtown problem. They do have a restaurant in Pismo Beach though and Pismo Beach is not so political even though it's about 12 mi away from San Luis Obispo you may want to consider Pismo Beach.
I love San Luis Obispo but watching this and seeing people wearing those masks makes me cringe. I thought Californians were more conscious than this but they bought the whole hoax hook line and sinker. Disappointing. Glad I moved.
What a great walking tour... thanks for taking us with you :)
it's known as SLO
Another great downtown walk in a California city.This is everywhere in my state.Nothing better

Love this I’m in Australia and was supposed to be travelling over there last year, love watching your videos:)
What a nice town first hearing about this town 👍🏻
Oprah rated it the Happiest Town in America!
Thanks. May be moving back to the area.
Excellent video. I haven't stayed in SLO for years, the last few times was to watch Cal Poly baseball, before they moved to an on campus facility. You've got me motivated for a return visit!
Looks like state street Santa Barbara
San Luis is my town and we love it!
Thanks for the ' San Luis'. True locals know it was known as San Luis long before SLO.
@@jeffopel588 Hi. Can you tell me why? Honest question
@@andre0667bro… if ur actually serious they just shortened the name 💀
Me encanta esa ciudad
Mis hijos llegaron con parrol ya tres meses y no encuentro trabajo
It is actually Saint Loui Obispo . It's about a Preacher that settled there in 1869
no, it's named after "saint Luis the bishop of Toulouse" and Obispo was the name of a small group of Chumash who already lived here when the spanish landed
Thanks for the video !

Anyone remember the San Luis of the 80s 😂...it was the best ace to live ❤
We call it SLO!!. And that stream is a creek that floods pretty good when we get rain..
"Stream" 🤣🤦🏼♀️ got to love those terrorists. It was sweet to see someone experiencing our little town 😊

Great video
Your voice sounds really familiar. Don't you run an Arizona channel, too?
What is the street name of Farmers Market? Where do people park?
Nice little town where next u going?
Sure beats LA. Driven by there on way to Paso Robles but never stopped there.
Wow I haven't been in SLO farmers market in years because the streets were so crowded you couldn't get through without being shoved. Now I guess due to Covid the streets are empty.
Gorgeous trip what airport does San Luis use and is it better than Santa Monica are La
SBP is their airport. It's small bust just right for the region.
sbp. theres like 3 terminals and a sandwich shop, very small but its comfortable
Nice video. I’d like to retire to SLO
pretty but its expensive af 💀
@@triplestan_s7 I’m sure living with Liz Hurley is the same and I’d still like to do it for awhile too….
@@joecapesius2887 😂
Small town with very expensive land prices
It’s pronounced High Guerra NOT He Guerra lol 😂 I use to live there for over 10 years
tbh the way he pronounced it is probably more correct, it's just us English speakers suck at Spanish lol
hey I live there!
im from there!!
when i saw his face, i wasnt surprised on how he pronounced stuff
San Luis Obispo is a Spanish form of the name. So luis is pronounced (loo ees)
Nope I live here, and locals call it Luis.
@@pennywollett3953 kinda like Lompoc huh?
Omg nobody gets Lompoc right!🤣🤣🤣
@@pennywollett3953 not even W.C. Fields in "The Bank Dick".
You are correct Valerie, Spanish words are just that, but most people butcher their pronunciation. I should know, they butcher my last name. Lol.
Nice videos
How is the cost of living?
Really expensive
@@adriaram60 Thank You Mr. RAMIREZ
ok nobody says cencal.
Did you see a lot of homeless there?
The Official name is San Luis Obispo, since is a Hispanic foundation,’not San Louis 😂😂😂
💪
Heegara St.
Lmao..
The original pronunciation is luu east. Luis Spanish version why this was Mexico before it was California bf the white man took over okay thank you So the original version you mention is not accurate sir .
nope its not pronounced the way you did. its hispanic not gringo. lol
Dear SLO locals - fear not! For I will NEVER visit your crappy excuse of town again. When the ‘big one’ hits, yours will be the first claimed by the Pacific. 😂
if you’re gonna call it crappy we
a) dont like you anyway
b) want you to stfu
c) dont comment on a video about slo 💀
