i am a bit of a history buff. almost took history in college and then i looked at the $$ at the end of my degree......and well the rest is......history.
san luis obispo, california, has an incredible history. small town, still small town, yet, in the beginning was a very important link between LA and SF. our first mission was founded in 1772. when we take walks from our pad to downtown and we walk past the mission fountain (sculptured momma bear, her two cubs and the little girl all gazing in the pond with momma bear's paw 'parting' the stream) i always look up at the date on the mission. it looks old, it is old. a modern view:

i could not find a historical exact view, perhaps those that know the net search engines better can find one, but this is mine:

i do not know the year.
let's make this a history thread...if not about your town, any town, any country, anywhere.
