While this area of the New Times is often filled with problems, controversies, and disputes, I wanted to interject a positive, giant shoutout to the many wonderful, talented, and generous artists in our midst. We are so fortunate to have them gracing our area (utility/power boxes in particular) with their creative artistry. Also, it is extremely heartwarming to be a part of a community that gathers more than 1,000 of its citizens together to do good works on March 16 (particularly so many young folks) organized by Love SLO—and I do!
