Re: [papercreters] Re: PC inside a bus turned RV?



Sunny Acres is on Los Osos Valley Rd just past the shopping center and tract housing and before Foothill Rd. As you travel toward Los Osos it is on the right. There are old cars, half wine barrels and buildings. My landlady's son use to bring outdated food by for her and sometimes it was a lot so I would take it out there, they were so grateful and nice. It's really ashame that the local goverment has given them such a hard time as these people really do try and give down and out men a place to live and structure to work.
