I can easily say
that
I do believe
that
San Luis Obispo
is
one of the
most
charming
of
small towns
in the
U.S.
ok, ok, ok...
I
know you will
beg to
disagree,
but you know,
I really
think it
is
charming
When
you build
or
refurbish
or restore
a business
in downtown
in SLO
the
A.R. C.
(architectural review committee)
makes
you do
something
beautiful
or
artistic
around
your property
(or you can pay
a fee
that goes into
a general
beautification
fund)
In any event
you will see
very cool
art
in
strategic
places
all around
downtown.
Recently,
SOMEONE
decided
that the
power boxes
were
U.G.L.Y.
I have to agree -
power boxes
are
really
ugly
So,
someone
decided
to
have
artists
paint
them
So, the sixteen
powerboxes
around
downtown
SLO
are
now
pieces of art
...
you can take a
walking tour
and see
all the artistic
powerboxes
around
downtown
...
you can download a map
park
and walk
I did
just
that!
No. 1
I am
not
going to
tell you all
about
the artists
and the art
because you can find all the info
I didn't understand this No.2 box..
No. 3
(Swiss cheese)
No. 4
No. 5
This artist
Marcie Hawthorne
gets to paint
2 boxes
.
this one is at the
Mission
San Luis Obispo de Tolosa
No. 6
and this
one
is around the corner
Oh, look!
There's Marcie painting the box!
No. 7
This one befuddled me
a bit
...
hmmmm
what could it be?
No. 8
and
then I
found out
that
one artist,
Joe Bachelor,
was
painting
3
(three)
boxes!
No. 8
This one
That's joe's
wife
finishing
up last minute
touches
and
chatting with
a young
fan
No. 9
Hey!
There's Joe!
He was finishing up
No. 9
and then was going
back
to
No. 7
to paint it
(remember the box that befuddled me?)
No. 10
I will walk and find
boxes 11-16 in the next couple of days..
It is like
a
"Where's Waldo" game
the map
takes you to all
the
powerboxes
but
then
you get
there
and look
all around
and
think
"where
the
*#!@:&
is
the box?"
and then
THERE IT IS
aLL
iN
AlL
iT
Is
a

IN
S.L.O.
