It's a little on the pricey side, but that's because most items are handmade and crafted with detail using vintage objects. I especially loved all the different types of light fixtures. This is the place you come to when shopping for something that's not produced in mass quantities. Overall, a cute gem of a store located in downtown San Luis Obispo.

I also love their courtyard area, which has a lot of tables with umbrellas. It's a nice outdoor setting to have lunch with our dog. (It could get quite windy, though.) Our dog loves to go inside the Tractor Supply Co, right next to the Public Market, as well. Since most of the eateries close early, we usually come here for lunch or an early dinner while we charge, and have tried almost every restaurant. I love the slaw bowls at Todo Bueno, the lunch specials at Sushi Goshi, the pesto pasta at Humble Oven and the açai bowls at Neighborhood Açai.

The store is so lovely, and they had a terrific selection of items, gifts, fun accessories and products.

I adore giving these cards to people and slapping the cute fair trade sticker on the cards to support these efforts and spread the word. This store does amazing work, and I will continue to shop there and will also order their products online! Highly highly recommend!

Ulta, Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, REI, DSW, Sprouts, Kohl's, See's Candies, Cost Plus World Market and more. I found everything I needed and was on my way in 40 minutes with takeaway Chipotle for my son.

Technically, this shopping center is probably more on the "strip mall" side as opposed to a real…read moremall, because here you can exercise your patriotic duty as an American by driving from one store to the other (even when they're right next to each other) instead of walking. There is a wide variety of both chain and local stores to choose from, such as a department store (Sears), a supermarket, a big-box bookstore (Borders), a local place called the Crushed Grape, Best Buy, and others. Basically, if you live in San Luis Obispo and need something, but prefer to avoid downtown because of the inconvenience of walking from one end to the other, this is the alternative for those who actually use a car in their daily lives and are not ashamed of it.

We'd passed it a few times and kept making a mental note to stop by and check it out. On one of our last days in town, we finally visited and spent about 30 minute perusing the awesome selection of goods that the very cool and very approachable owner, Malik, has curated. There's a nice selection of vintage and new items, from books and records to clothing and decor. Prices are reasonable and with the jazz playing in the background, Satellite gives off a soothing, relaxing vibe. We grabbed a bag of locally roasted coffee beans and a card for a friend. We're trying not to add too much to our place, otherwise we would have loaded up on more goodies, as Satellite's style is right up our alley. (Wish I'd been smart enough to take pictures.) Pro tip: Satellite is really close to Bread Bike, Nautical Bean and High Street Deli. Load up on your way to/from Satellite. You'll be so proud of yourself.
