Median Home Prices

Median Home Prices (1/5/25) This is a 3-month rolling average for median home prices in SLO, AG, and Paso. I use a 3-month average instead of monthly as monthly is a really busy graph, with many ups and downs. A 3-month average smooths out the curve so you can see trends easier. Surprising, SLO and […]

Newspaper Ads 1979

Newspaper Ads 1979 (vol 1) These are ads from the Mustang Daily (Cal Poly’s newspaper) from Fall 1979. Taco Works started as a restaurant on Foothill Blvd and served their yummy tortilla chips. I loved their seasoning. If I remember flavors from that far back, I feel they reduced the amount of spices on the […]
