Depends what you define as "great town"

I visited slow and I found the city segregated in half.

college kids vs old people
old SLO vs new SLO

And nothing to do but drink and eat. We ended up getting HAMMERED, hopped on some bikes, and went around some elementary school near my friend's place.

This sums up SLO and college life in SLO.

I must agree with that. There is a huge rift between the college life and the rest of it.

And when I think of it not much to do in town. Sounds like you participated in bike night. Happens every few thursdays I think, just a ton of college students riding around on bikes downtown. Most of the stuff to do is over in pismo.

Anything that gets you out of Bakersfield is worth it.
