Subject:SLO REP THEATRE & PARKING
Dear Mayor Harmon & City Council;
As a native of San Luis Obispo and former actor, director and patron of the San Luis Obispo Little Theatre, now brilliantly
transformed into SLO REP by a crew of like-minded visionaries led by Kevin Harris,
I strongly urge you to support the proposed new arts center in downtown SLO.
My mother, Joyce (Davis) Pillow was a founding member of the theatre in 1947 in a now long-gone building called 'The
Elmo', and I think would be over-joyed at the prospects of this new theater.
These new structures will not only enhance the already growing reputation of our fair city as an 'arts' destination but will
honor our past without repeating it in an endless succession of moves from one inadequate second-hand facility to
another.
Again, I strongly urge your approval of this project.
Sincerely,
John Pillow
