Re: 1144 Chorro Street — Discovery San Luis Obispo
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council,
I am in full support of the project at 1144 Chorro Street, Discovery Bowling.
This would be a great addition, as it is very compatible with our existing
downtown. It brings a multi use facility to downtown that would be a great
attraction community wide to both locals and tourists. As a father of 2 young
boys, I am excited to take them there!
It is something different that this community has been missing since the closing
of the bowling alley on Laurel Lane. In addition, having this type of facility
downtown would be a great attraction to the people that want to live and work
downtown.
Having a place that serves food late at night would be a big plus since all you
have currently downtown at late night are bars. The food service would be a
benefit to other existing bars downtown and would certainly be an improvement
by providing food to the late night visitors.
Please know that not all SLO residents are anti bar. Some, like me, are
proponents of adding something new to downtown SLO. This won't be another
college bar managed by the same company that owns most of the college bars
downtown. It will be a place that I will take my 2 boys, and I believe it will be a
welcomed addition to downtown.
Thank you,
Mike Hicks
