@downtownslofarmersmarket San Luis Obispo County s favorite weekly farmers market is finally back after disappearing for more than a year and thank God! The community sorely missed this Thursday night fixture on Higuera Street during the pandemic, but we obviously didn t forget it: Voters awarded it Best Community Event
and Best Farmers Market this year. With typically bustling crowds of between 5,000 and 14,000 people each week, this flagship market features dozens of vendors selling anything from fresh-picked local produce, to fresh-off-the-grill tri-tip. While the market is indeed back from its hiatus, it ll be a bit longer until it rocks like it did before. We ll try to stay patient!
BLM protesters file claims against SLO County District Attorney
January 31, 2021
By KAREN VELIE
Three BLM protesters have filed claims against San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow alleging discrimination, bias and malicious prosecution over charges related to a July 21 rally in which property was damaged and vehicles blocked. The protesters are seeking damages in excess of $10,000 each.
Lawyers for Tianna Arata, Sam Grocott and Robert Lastra claim their civil rights were violated when they were charged with multiple misdemeanors and, in Lastra’s case, a felony charge.
They cite a SLO County Superior Court Judge’s decision to disqualify Dow and his office from prosecutions in connection with the protest as evidence showing that Dow engaged in discrimination against them.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. - The City of San Luis Obispo announced Friday it has successfully replaced the Marsh Street Bridge which is located between Osos Street and Santa Rosa Street at the San Luis Obispo Creek crossing.
The bridge stood in San Luis Obispo for over a century, but in 2008, was deemed structurally deficient after a bridge inspection by Caltrans. Crews determined a repair or replacement was necessary and the project began in January 2020.
Revitalization of the bridge, a historic corridor into Downtown San Luis Obispo, is part of the City’s ongoing efforts towards Downtown Vitality.
