Where Colony Days Meet Wine Country Magic
About Atascadero
Atascadero wraps you in small-town charm where historic Colony architecture lines Traffic Way and the intoxicating scent of oak trees mingles with fresh pastries from local bakeries. This hidden gem pulses with authentic Central Coast energy—from the Saturday farmers market bursting with Paso Robles wine country bounty to the stunning lake reflecting ancient oaks. You'll discover why locals call it 'A-town' as you sip craft beer at Tent City Brewing while golden hour paints the rolling hills that cradle this perfectly imperfect slice of California paradise.

AtascaderoMeasures, incumbents, and a newcomer take leads in Grover Beach
Grover Beach voters are making their voices heard, and the early numbers are in. According to our friends at New Times SLO (Atascadero), incumbent Kassi Dee is leading the mayor's race while Jules Tuggle and newcomer Shilo Terek are out front for City Council. With just over 2,620 ballots counted as of Nov. 4, out of roughly 8,000 registered voters, there's still plenty of counting to do before anything's final. For those of us here in Atascadero, it's a good reminder that the decisions made by our neighbors on the South County coast ripple across the 805. Grover Beach's leadership shapes regional conversations around housing, coastal access, and the kind of growth we all navigate together along the Central Coast. So keep an eye on those updated tallies in the coming days. Local elections are where your vote carries the most weight, and Grover Beach is a perfect example of democracy happening one ballot at a time.
AtascaderoNewcomers lead two Paso Robles City Council races
Paso Robles voters are watching two City Council races where newcomers are out front — Faith Frankel leading Bill Britton for mayor, and Michael in the running for the 2nd District seat. It's the kind of shake-up that tends to ripple north along the 101, since Paso's growth, water, and downtown decisions shape the whole North County. For those of us here in Atascadero, it's worth following. Paso's leadership choices often set the tone for regional conversations about housing, traffic, and wine-country tourism — things that touch our daily commute and local economy too. New Times SLO (Atascadero) has the early numbers, but remember these counts are preliminary and can shift as ballots are tallied. Keep an eye on the final results. Whatever happens, it's a good reminder that local elections are where neighbors have the most direct say in the place we call home.
AtascaderoDemocratic Party-backed candidates are ahead in Lucia Mar elections
Looks like Lucia Mar voters have spoken — at least in the early returns. Colleen Martin, Donna Kandel, David Warren, and Anna Cordero, all backed by the local Democratic Party, are holding leads in their trustee races, according to New Times SLO (Atascadero). It's a notable shift for a school board that's seen its share of heated debate lately. For those of us here in Atascadero, school board decisions hit close to home — they shape everything from classroom curriculum to how district dollars get spent. Whether you're a parent, a grandparent, or just someone who cares about local kids, these races matter more than most folks realize. With 6,800 registered voters in the mix, every ballot counts. The final tally isn't set in stone yet, so keep an eye on the county's updates in the coming days. Either way, it's a reminder that local elections are where our voices carry the most weight.
