REMINDER: A sign across from Arroyo Grande City Hall helps keep the May 1996 disappearance of Kristin Smart, which is still unsolved, fresh in the publics mind. The Cal Poly San Luis Obispo freshman, then 19, was last seen being walked back to her dorm by fellow student Paul Flores, whom investigators say is their only suspect. (Don Kelsen / LAT)
