Predictions on what will happen for that year and attributes of the people born during that year, are associated with the characteristics of that animal.  According to legend, the rat was the first animal to show up when Buddha summoned all the animals to come to him. Thus, the rat is the first sign … (0 comments)

Morro Rock or El Morro or simply the Rock is Morro Bay's most prominent landmark.  You simply can't miss it.  The Rock looms large and clear regardless of which way you are headed. 
It's located right in town, by the Embarcadero - formerly a wharf built by Franklin Riley in 1870 to export dairy and ranch products that were once the mainstay of livelihood in Morro Bay.  Today, this is the focal point for visitors to Morro Bay. 

The Rock stands 176 meters tall, a volcanic plug composition right at the entrance to the Harbor and a … (0 comments)

morro bay: It's Us or Fish - 04/26/07 08:25 PM
 
                                 
 
Basically, it boils down to us, humans versus fish.  According to the Tribune today, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch has given the California Department of Water Resources 60 days to comply with environmental laws protecting the fish or stop pumping water from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta into the California Aqueduct.  The fish being threatened include chinook salmon and delta smelt.  Both are protected by the California Endangered Species Act.  A decision should be made in early May, '07.
How does this impact the Central Coast?  Eleven agencies in San Luis Obispo County receive water from the State.  The following two agencies that receive … (0 comments)

REVIEW OF SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL SALES - MORRO BAY, CA
JANUARY TO MARCH 2007 VS. JANUARY TO MARCH 2006
Presently, real estate activity in Morro Bay continues to be sluggish at best.  We were encouraged by the flurry of activity at the beginning of this year.  We saw more pending sales. For a short while, prices appeared to be stabilizing.  Now as we approach Spring, buying activity seems to have stalled.
Let's take a look at the home sales for the first quarter of 2007.  Compared to the same period last year, the median home prices showed a decline by about … (0 comments)
