Summary
David Congalton is a popular radio host and former newspaper columnist in the small college town of San Luis Obispo, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Congalton shares his favorite "Man About Town" newspaper columns, a mixture of humor and pathos to capture "the SLO Life", an experience he's enjoyed since 1987.
The native Midwesterner writes about the Central Coast people he's encountered, including the iconic Alex Madonna, controversial county supervisor Adam Hill, presidential son Steve Ford, wannabe comic "Mean Mike" Veron, and the globetrotting Elsie Louis. Listeners also are introduced to the "lost" Cuesta College amphitheater, downtown "Bubblegum Alley", the top of Terrace Hill, and a lasting friendship forged in Antarctica. And Congalton's well-known love of dogs and cats pops up frequently in stories of animal lost and found, all straight from the heart.
