It’s Happening On Main Street

HAPPY HAPPY 2022! 2022!

We at the Downtown Main Street Association wish each and every one of you a year filled with Love, Laughter, and Joy!

January is here, and we had so much fun last year that we’ve already created our calendar of events for this year. We’re making new plans and goals while leaving the old ones behind.

Paso businesses had a good 2021 and are open and optimistic for a change in the economy and the challenges ahead. We learned that success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. Travel and tourism is our lifeblood, so we will survive!

As we move forward and look back, do you remember a time when there were no cell phones and there were phone booths? Computers were for business only; not every individual had one. When you read a book, magazine, or newspaper, it was not on a “screen.” There is less “written” information today because it is easier and less expensive to print online. This is the perfect time to Thank Hayley and Nic Mattson for Paso Robles Press Magazine and The Paso Robles Press newspaper. Yes, they are available online, but they are also in print and distributed in bulk to businesses in the area, and the magazine is mailed to everyone in and around Paso. They continue to provide us breaking news, in-depth coverage, people and business profiles, local heroes, and the voices of the community.

It has been noted that “written” material is better for your health and well-being. It has been shown to help people absorb and remember more. It increases brain activity and relaxes you. Too much “screen” activity causes fatigue, leads to blurred vision, red, dry, and irritated eyes. So, with that being said, we all owe a debt of gratitude to Hayley and Nic for helping to keep us healthy! A new year is here. We’ve spent time with family and friends through the busy holiday season; now it’s time to Chill out! As we begin to advance into 2022, let’s bring our generations closer together. The older generation needs the fresh idealism and creativity of the younger. Who, in turn can benefit from the wisdom and experience of their predecessors.

In closing, I wish you PEACE: when the power of Love overcomes the love of power, we will know peace! 
