As I walked around downtown I kept saying "this is such a nice downtown!". It's so charming with…read moreall of the restaurants and stores. If I lived in the area I would be here all the time.

Torrid had a great clearance section. And Guess always has a lot of XS sizes. Which is depressing. The bathroom is at the intersection of the two sides and is large and clean. Lots of parking.

Not many stores here to put this one in the Premium Outlets :)…read more The parking is actually stressful in the afternoon weekends. Anyway, the Nike here is the big hit of all! Good prices and good customer service, big store and anyone could find something:) expect long line

This strip mall is where SLO's enclosed mall used to be. The Forever 21 department was where the…read moreoriginal Gottschalks was and Embassey Suites was also apart of the original mall. The big box center has 3 sit down restaurants-Apple Bee's, Hometown Buffet, Tahoe Joe's, and coming soon is Buffalo Wild Wings. It has a good selection of big box stores-Staples, World Market, and Bed Bath N Beyond. It d be nice if this center had a real department store and not Forever 21. Parking is ample. It has some cool local stores like Breezeway Deli and Little Grape.

I was delighted I found the Madonna Plaza, a mall with a great assortment of mid-level retail with a mix of moderately priced stores and restaurants. Ulta, Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, REI, DSW, Sprouts, Kohl's, See's Candies, Cost Plus World Market and more. I found everything I needed and was on my way in 40 minutes with takeaway Chipotle for my son.

Technically, this shopping center is probably more on the "strip mall" side as opposed to a real…read moremall, because here you can exercise your patriotic duty as an American by driving from one store to the other (even when they're right next to each other) instead of walking. There is a wide variety of both chain and local stores to choose from, such as a department store (Sears), a supermarket, a big-box bookstore (Borders), a local place called the Crushed Grape, Best Buy, and others. Basically, if you live in San Luis Obispo and need something, but prefer to avoid downtown because of the inconvenience of walking from one end to the other, this is the alternative for those who actually use a car in their daily lives and are not ashamed of it.

Located in downtown Morro Bay, the Treasures Antique Building houses the curated displays of fifty…read moredifferent vendors. Street parking is available nearby. It seemed like the vendors had autonomy to sell what they wanted. The single employee would call a vendor if there was a question from a prospective customer. Some displays were behind glass, but the majority were open, counting on the carefulness of customers. We stopped by to see if we could pick up a memento from Morro Bay, but no luck. My wife did end up buying a blouse from a brand that she liked, so the trip wasn't a total loss. I did enjoy slowly wandering down the cramped aisles...a lot of hobbyists displaying their passions: a lot of toys, comic books, and hardcover novels.

I like this little center. It does seem like it's best days are behind it, but the businesses that…read moreare still here each have a life of their own, which adds to the novelty of the place. It's relatively clean here, although I do feel like a lot more can be done to add to the grandeur of being i a town center like this. The ones I have visited in other cities give you that feeling of entering something larger than life, even if they're struggling and on their last legs. Not to say this place is, but it's pretty clear it's not as vibrant as it used to be... but what place isn't like this nowadays? Regardless, this is a nice place to walk around and unwind.
