July 2016 Business of the Month – The Medicine Shoppe

July 29, 2016 by Dawn Rodden

Medicinne shoppe-webLos Osos/Baywood Park Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month for July is The Medicine Shoppe at 1199 Los Osos Valley Road. The owners are pharmacist Keith Hanan and his wife Elizabeth, supported by a long term employee, DeDe Pauze and Compounding Technician, Alex Aspernelson. They have been in business in Los Osos since 1989. In addition to running his shop Keith has been a member of the Los Osos Rotary Club, was president in 2013-14 and continues to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. He is also a contributing member of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church.

In nominating The Medicine Shoppe Board member Chad Carroll had this to say. “I was referred to The Medicine Shoppe after experiencing difficulties with several different pharmacies. What no one else could accomplish in a month’s time, Keith was able to handle in a few hours. He took the time to swim through the red tape of insurance companies and get me my much-needed prescription, even though it was a trial and
he wasn’t going to make money on it. I have since transferred all of my other prescriptions to him and I have been very happy with the service of Keith and his staff”.

Nominators must apply the criteria adopted by the Board and the final decision will be made by the Board.

Los Osos Ranked 6th Among Top Beach Town Housing Markets

August 28, 2014 by Dawn Rodden

Los Osos and Morro Bay both ranked in a listing of the top 20 beach town housing markets in the nation compiled by RealtyTrac.
The rankings were based on home values, weather, air quality and crime rates. The two were the highest-ranked California communities in the tally.
Los Osos ranked sixth with a public safety grade of A, a median home price of $418,403, an average temperature of 60 with sunny days 78 percent of the time, and good air quality days 100 percent of the time.
Morro Bay ranked 11th, with identical weather, crime and air quality numbers but a higher median home price of $537,479.
The median is the midpoint at which half of the houses sold for more and half for less. Figures are compared year-over-year because of the seasonal nature of home sales.
The top-20 U.S. beach communities ranked by RealtyTrac, a resource for comprehensive housing data, were all from California, Florida or Hawaii.
Hobe Sound, Fla., was ranked highest in the report published in May. The other California communities to make the list were Dana Point at No. 16, Seal Beach at No. 17, and San Clemente at No. 19. Each of the top-20 beach towns had median home prices below $1 million and average daily temperatures either in the 60s or 70s.

Los Osos Bear Signs Restored

July 8, 2014 by Dawn Rodden

FinalSBBUpAfter a long and complicated restoration process, the iconic Los Osos Bear Signs have been completed and reinstalled on Los Osos Valley Road and South Bay Boulevard, and they are beautiful!

We are sure you’ve seen them by now because they went up three weeks ago.  Unfortunately, both Pandora and I were in the process of leaving town on the day of the reinstallation, but Pandora managed to take some pictures and send them to the Bay News.

A heartfelt thanks to all of you who helped in the restoration process, and kudos to muralist Rebecca McFarland, who recreated the artwork beautifully, and professional signmaker Sean Beauchamp, who completed the process and reinstalled the signs.  Gary Dove, with support from his Rotary cohorts, will reinstall the solar lights on LOVR.

Here are a few of Pandora’s pictures of Sean and his crew during the installation process.  Go to our website to see more pictures:  wwwcelebratelososos.org.
