With the construction taking place on El Camino, I wanted to encourage you all to still get out and support local even if it requires patience and creativity to find parking. I am verrrrrrrry excited about the changes coming to the downtown, it will be safer and more beautiful to walk around, but I know it is hard for small businesses to hang on during construction. Visit City of Atascadero’s website for construction and traffic updates.

I’m always getting asked about good restaurants by clients. I did an Instagram poll recently and asked you to share your favorite food items as well as the restaurant, I wanted to share some of the items here as I was literally drooling with all the responses. People complain we don’t have many restaurant options here but this made me realize how many we do have!!

Going to squeeze in here as many as I can!
