Slightly Stoopid bringing tour to Vina Robles

Well, get ready to mark your calendars, Paso—Slightly Stoopid is rolling into town this fall as part of their Cali Road Trippin’ 2026 tour, and they’re stopping right here at Vina Robles. According to the Paso Robles Daily News, tickets go on sale this Friday through Ticketmaster, so you’ll want to move fast if you want to catch that laid-back, sun-soaked reggae-rock vibe under the oaks. It’s the kind of show that feels made for our neck of the 805—where the wine flows, the evenings are golden, and the crowd knows how to unwind. This isn’t just another concert booking; it’s a sign that Paso Robles is becoming a real destination for the California coast’s music scene. Bands like Slightly Stoopid, who normally pack amphitheaters in San Diego or Santa Barbara, are now making us a regular stop. For locals, it means no long drive down the 101 for a great summer night—just a short trip to Vina Robles, maybe a glass of Petite Sirah before the show, and a reminder that our little corner of the Central Coast is growing into something special. Grab your tickets Friday, and let’s show them how Paso does it.

Morro Bay signs on to SLO County homelessness initiative

You know how it feels when a neighbor steps up to help with a community project? That’s exactly what happened when Morro Bay officially signed on to the countywide homelessness compact last week. According to *New Times SLO (Atascadero)*, the Morro Bay City Council voted on May 26 to join the San Luis Obispo County Regional Homelessness and Affordable Housing Compact. While this might sound like city hall paperwork, it’s actually a big deal for all of us here in the 805—because when one town commits to working together, it strengthens the whole region’s ability to find real solutions. Here in Atascadero, we know that homelessness and housing affordability don’t stop at city limits. Whether you’re grabbing coffee on El Camino Real or heading down to the coast, these challenges touch every corner of SLO County. Morro Bay’s decision means more coordinated efforts between local governments, which could lead to better resource-sharing and smarter strategies that ultimately benefit our own community too. It’s a reminder that we’re all in this together—from the North County to the shore.

Tom Steyer makes a stop in SLO ahead of governor’s race

Well, you know it’s getting close to election season when the campaign buses start rolling through our neck of the woods. According to *New Times SLO (Atascadero)*, billionaire gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer brought his “A California You Can Afford” tour to San Luis Obispo last week, just days before the June 2 primary. While his stop was in SLO proper, it’s worth keeping an eye on for us in Atascadero too — because when a candidate talks about affordability in this state, he’s speaking directly to the squeeze so many of us feel on the Central Coast. Steyer’s message about making California more affordable hits home here, where housing prices have climbed and local wages haven’t always kept pace. Whether you agree with his politics or not, it’s a good reminder that our community’s voice matters in this race. The next governor will shape policies on housing, water, and wildfire prevention — issues that hit close to home for Atascadero. So if you missed him in SLO, take a moment to check where the candidates stand before you head to the polls. Every vote from our corner of the 805 really does count.
