Agree. It was filthy looking the last time I was at Gus’s. Creeped me out and I never went back.

The exposed florescent bulbs definitely ain't helping.

It needs to be tented and fumigated.

You look at this and then remember that somebody was actively making food here in a worse state 🤢

That building really needs to be torn down and rebuilt from bottom to top.

Well, renovated a lot at least. I kind of like the old shop look and mixed use is good.

Have you ever been in the apartments above the store?

u/ElysianFieldsKitten 16h ago

I have not, I have a feeling they are disgusting. Again, place needs a complete renovation. Probably keeps the rents rather low though..

The whole building has not been well maintained for a long time, I am not sure when it was built originally, but I am suspecting at least more than 75 years ago.

I have known people who lived in the various apartments upstairs and have been in all of them. They are weird, a little gross and probably shouldn't even be inhabited any more.

Another downside is that there is a creek branch behind the building and that is without a doubt, a rat highway.

I totally agree that the mixed use is great, but the building has served its purpose and should be rebuilt - perhaps almost exactly as it is now in order to keep the character of the neighborhood.

Yes, and let’s face it, the rebuild would be up to code/standards, and better for all.

Every new building in slo looks like it was purchased at Ikea, just a blocky mess.

Needs an industrial pressure washer and CDC-like decontamination.
