As long as it does not interfere with my wine tasting afternoon and it is north of 21st Street I am not concerned.


1:30pm on a Saturday afternoon? Tragic, but if they find the bad guy my guess is he knew the victim and the victim had something he wanted. If its truly random, no one’s safe on a midday Saturday in Paso Robles.
