🌜The Moon isn't that far away from us! Kind of...

🕵️ On this #triviathursday we are bringing your attention to the MOON TREE located in Mission Plaza!

Why is it called a Moon Tree? Good Question! In January of 1971, Apollo 14 🚀 went to the moon and took with it several kinds of tree seeds. Upon its return, the seeds were germinated and planted across the US. Today, one of those seeds stands tall and proud in Mission Plaza for all to see!

Although an official list was never kept, there are seven known locations, including SLO, where seeds were planted in CA!

Next time you find yourself Downtown, make sure to stop by and see the Moon Tree! You can find it behind the public restrooms/across the street from the History Center.

🎶 Tomorrow, Saturday August 29th, is RECORD STO

🎶 Tomorrow, Saturday August 29th, is RECORD STORE DAY!!! 🎶

This is day one of a three day roll out. Swipe through to see some of the records up for grabs at @booboorecords and read on for how they are preparing for the big day and what you can expect as a customer to stay safe while shopping and supporting your local record store.

#repost @booboorecords - (subject to change) Record Store Day has already been thrown way off track this year due to the safety and concern of the Record Store Day community! In an attempt to bring some great titles to those who look forward to this every year, RSD will be split up into 3 "drops". Each drop will be a third of the usual onslaught, and details can be found on recordstoreday.com. RSD drops can be sorted by release type to see which albums will be released on which date. RSD DROP #1 is Sat, August 29th! With 2 more drops following on Sept. 26th and Oct 24th!

Social Distancing guidelines: Luckily, we have already implemented a system over the years that allows for easy social distancing. Normally, we let 10 people at a time in the store to shop for RSD titles for 5 minutes, which we'll now be cutting to only 5 people at a time. Masks will be required in store of course, but also in line and hand sanitizer will be available and required before entering the store. Our plan is to start an hour earlier than usual at 8am promptlyish. Lists are highly recommended, do some planning beforehand so you have a solid idea of what titles you're looking for. Please know that options will be available for those in line who do not wish to enter the shop (have a list!), and markers will be set down on the sidewalk to keep folks 6 feet apart. We will also open up phone orders around 10:30 for folks not wishing to stand in line. With all of this in mind, we are looking forward to seeing everyone and helping everyone we can!
