Strawberry Fields–Not Forever

The County Board of Supervisors has voted to allow a carwash and mini-storage project to replace some Strawberry fields on the Nipomo Mesa.  It’s always sad to see open space strawberry fields go–but on the other hand the land owners do have rights as well.   The San Luis Tribune noted: (more…)
