The second Project Homecoming playlist: • Project Homecoming 2
San Luis Obispo, or SLO for short, is a small city near and dear to my heart, not only because it's one of my hometowns, but because I've done so much work on the history here. After all, my dissertation has a chapter on it and my entire masters thesis is about the place. And it goes much deeper than that, for my father was a museum director here. You could say SLO's history is in my veins.

It's so heartwarming to see you using your KZfaq fame to help other local historians make their mark and maybe jump start their careers. (Yes that was a joke)

Finding out who your father is blew my mind. But it makes sense and explains your desire, indepth knowledge, and storytelling ability. It may take me a while to digest this one, I would never have guessed. This made my day. ❤

History runs through your veins (I bet you've never heard that one before). Wicked cool that you got your dad to narrate for you, I bet he was a helpful resource when doing your thesis on the local history too

@CynicalHistorian 8 ай бұрын

Absolutely. I regularly called him with questions about local history when writing the thesis. He also proof read my dissertation

I didn't know much about SLO, but both of your videos about the city's history are very informative and I learned a lot. It's also awesome how your dad narrated this one too. Hope you have a great weekend! Take care, Cypher.

I was born there too, although I didn't have the income to go to Cal Poly. Thanks for helping to keep the history of this strange little town alive

Watching this video in San Luis Obispo. Great work!

Immensely enjoy your wide array of videos and by fact-checking your citing sources admire their accuracy. One issue I have is while I appreciate the fast pace of your videos, at times I struggle to fully read and digest the quotes and statements presented because of the fast pace. To point, I consider myself a fairly fast reader who can finish a couple average sized books a week and still have time to sustain a healthy lifestyle of eating, sleeping, and watching NFL football, although sometimes concurrently. Anyway, thanks for the very enlightening content.

I ran track there in the late 60s, was pretty good, I tell people I was the fastest runner at SLO High. I rarely call the town SLO and prefer to call it San Luis Obispo as should you. It was tough job growing up there but somebody had to.
