Walking Tour – “WWII Sites in Downtown San Luis Obispo” with Joe Morris, PhD – Sixteen sites in downtown San Luis Obispo reveal the way that World War II profoundly affected daily life for the merchants and residents of this small, sleepy college town. Start at the historic USO Hall, now the Ludwick Community Center. The tour will include the County Courthouse (completed just before the War), Fremont Theater used by major movie stars to sell war bonds, the bus station, the site of two segregated USO Halls reserved for Black GIs, and several other sites associated with the “home front” in San Luis Obispo during WWII.
