Think about this idea: Move the bowling alley/entertainment center planned for the old Rileys department store building out to the Forever 21 site!

Then the downtown building could be used for acceptable downtown activities (more family-friendly), and the noisy bowling alley/entertainment center could be in a location where its nighttime activities won’t disrupt the downtown, and there won’t be even more bars in central San Luis Obispo.

Think about it.
