Morro BayMorro Bay Police Enjoy a Night Out
It was a picture-perfect summer evening in Morro Bay as the Police Department hosted its Annual National Night Out, and the highlight of the night was pure magic: a dozen lucky kids pedaled away on brand-new bicycles. The smiles said it all—this wasn't just about handing out bikes; it was about building trust and connection between our officers and the youngest members of our community. National Night Out has long been a favorite tradition here on the Central Coast, a chance for neighbors to meet the people who keep us safe in a relaxed, fun setting. The Morro Bay PD went all out, and thanks to the great coverage from Estero Bay News, we can relive the joy. For these twelve families, it's a memory that will last long after the training wheels come off.
Morro BayRich Man Poor Man Celebrating 50 Years
Fifty years is a mighty long time for any business, but for Rich Man Poor Man in Cambria and Morro Bay, it's a true Central Coast legacy. Myles and JoAnna Crebs have weathered it all—shifting economies, changing trends, and the ebb and flow of coastal tourism—while keeping their shops a beloved stop for locals and visitors alike. As the Estero Bay News reports, this golden anniversary isn't just about retail; it's about the relationships and community spirit that have kept the doors open for half a century. For those of us in the 805, Rich Man Poor Man is more than a store—it's a piece of our shared history, a place where you can find a treasure or a familiar face. Here's to the Crebs family and their remarkable milestone. If you haven't stopped by lately, this is the perfect excuse to celebrate a true Morro Bay institution. Cheers to fifty more years!
Morro BayMayor, Two Council Seats Up for Election
Morro Bay voters have some big decisions ahead this November. Mayor Carla Wixom and councilmembers Cyndee Edwards and Zara Landrum are all seeking another term, and local business owner Mike Gerson has thrown his hat in the ring. That means we could see some fresh faces on the dais — or a continuation of the current leadership — depending on how the community votes. Elections like this are about more than names on a ballot. They shape how we handle everything from waterfront access and tourism to housing and infrastructure. The Estero Bay News has been covering the race closely, so keep an eye there for candidate profiles and forum dates. And if you’re not registered yet, now’s the time to make sure your voice is heard. Our little slice of the Central Coast deserves leaders who truly listen — so let’s show up and decide who that will be.
