Flood Of P.G. Businesses Closing
An inability to draw first-run Hollywood movies and low attendance numbers is forcing Lighthouse Cinemas in Pacific Grove to shut its doors.
A theater representative said the last movies will be shown at the four-screen theater Sept. 7.
“We wanted to do everything possible to keep the theater up and running, but for all its quaintness and charm we simply couldn’t get the kind of movies needed to keep it operating,” said David Corwin, president of Metropolitan Theaters Corps., which has operated the Lighthouse for the past two years.
The kind of movies available is only part of the problem. The service and value for the money paid is a big part.
But wait! There’s more! Other shops closing this month:
SPCA Shop, went upscale & moved to Carmel.
SPCA 2 went with them too.
Schnarly’s Pizza. That stuff was too expensive for locals.
Oh Flowers moved to a low rent district (Laurel Ave).
Piano Store – 86 those 88s.
Laundromat at Congress and LHA.
Home Sweet Home. Corny imported ‘country charm’.
First Noel year round X-mas store, closing before the season starts on November 1.
And of course, with all these places closing, a shop called All Things PG looks pretty bare. Matches the rest of all things P.G.
Teen Robbed, Beaten Unconscious in PG
A 15-year-old boy was robbed and beaten unconscious in Pacific Grove Friday night, police said.
Two boys were arrested and police are seeking two others in connection with the attack on a 15-year-old boy. Officers said a search warrant was served on one suspect’s residence.The victim was walking at 10:30 p.m. in the 2800 block of Ransford Avenue when four teenage boys in a vehicle stopped, got out and began hitting him with their fists, officers reported, holding the victim and then knocking him to the ground. Then the assailants kicked the 15-year-old in the back and head, police reported, and robbed him of his coat, shoes and cash.
The four assailants are all believed to be residents of the Monterey Peninsula, police said.
The Bulls***in reported this as a drug deal gone wrong. Speaking of, where is Nick Gore these days anyway?
High Bacteria Notice Posted For Lovers Point
Just in time for that triathlon .
Officials took samples of bacteria levels at the Commercial Wharf Beach in Monterey and Lover’s Point Beach in Pacific Grove and found dangerous levels.
14th St Celeb Almost Burns Down The House
A Plastic cutting board left on top of a stove caught fire in a 14th Street house last week. The resulting flames charred the kitchen and left most of the house and its contents smoke damaged.”The resident indicated she was cooking something in the morning and left the cutting board on the stove, left the burner on warm and went off to work,” said Fire Chief Gunter, who would not identify the homeowner but said she is a “very well known,” longtime Pacific Grove resident.
The Last Spinning 76 Ball In Town Is Gone
I didn’t notice this until I saw a story on the Internet. Ever since a merger with Phillips/Conoco the bright orange globes that have uniquely represented Union 76 stations are being taken down and replaced with generic looking tombstones, and the long used color scheme is changing from organge to red.
The 76 stations on the Peninsula:
Number 1 – North Fremont, before:
After
Number 2 – Downtown Monterey
Still there! Get a glimpse before it’s gone.
Number 3 – Munras Ave. Never had a ball.
Number 4 – Seaside. Gone
Number 5 – Pacific Grove. This was the only spinning ball for miles around.
It is gone!
Number 6 – Carmel. Not only a no ball station, one with an old Union sign.
Number 7 – Marina. Gone.
Here is one fallen symbol of American branding, being put to rest. Spotted heading north on SR1.
Charlie the Holman’s Cat Dies From Cancer
Charlie the cat had developed a huge fan base and was featured in numerous cat publications, including a full-page photo that graced a magazine called Cats & Kittens.
Charlie the cat even had his own bank account, which was spawned after customers at the Holman Building started making contributions for Charlie’s upkeep. Withdrawals from the account involved getting Charlie to “sign” the withdrawal slips with a paw print.
And though he was a glamor puss, Charlie still had a bit of the tom in him, serving as the ferocious watchcat against the dogs who might wander into his turf.
Toys Given In P.G. Library Program Recalled For Lead
The distributors of bendable toys given to children participating in a Pacific Grove reading program have announced they are recalling the toys.
Pacific Grove Public Library officials estimate they gave about 50 of the bendable dog and cat toys to the children during its summer reading club in June and July.
The distributors said the toys apparently exceed the maximum allowable lead limit under current federal regulations.
Library officials are asking parents of children who received the toys to return them to the library’s children department, where substitute reading reward prizes are available.
Dang. Exposure limits to lead? When we was kids we melted lead curtain weights to make fishing sinkers..

Or is the Holman Hotel Project strapped? It does have “wide pubic support” after all.
