Per a National Geographic study and re-quoted by Oprah as “the happiest city in America,” San Luis Obispo, locally knicknamed “SLO”, is a popular destination located on California’s beautiful central coast - - halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles.

More recently, SLO garnered both “the friendliest city” by USA Today, and the “healthiest city” in California, per a 24/7 Wall St LLC study.  SLO’s location provides practically perfect weather all year round, making it easy to take advantage of all the area has to offer, including hiking, biking, and beautiful beaches.

SLO is also a hub for delicious food, drink, and entertainment. The wine never runs dry in SLO, and continues up north to the Paso Robles wine region. There are also several local breweries in SLO. The area also boasts a state-of-the art performance facility, the Performing Arts Center, which brings outstanding shows year round. The Farmer’s Market, every Thursday evening, transforms the downtown into a bustling area of fresh, local produce, entertainment, delicious food and, of course, lots of happy people.
