Join Rob Wickens founder of LoveoftheCentralCoast as he introduces you to what is often ranked the “Happiest City in America” on this self-guided GPS audio tour. This Essentials tour will share tidbits that even locals rarely learn or stumble across.

So before you take your picture in the grossly-unique Bubblegum Alley grab your headphones and let’s step back in time by visiting the World’s Smallest Chinatown, and envision dirt roads lined by rough saloons in this last town of the Wild West.
