We Don’t Serve Your Kind Shoppe Sets Off Flurry Of Spin Doctors
Soldier Darrick Williams, who was unavailable for comment Monday, told the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce that he and his wife walked into the Ice Cream Shoppe — formerly known as Rocky Coast Ice Cream — on Lighthouse Avenue but decided to leave when they noticed the ice cream was over their budget.
As they were leaving, Williams was allegedly told by the store’s owner that he wouldn’t serve soldiers at his business, and the two exchanged words, Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce President Moe Ammar told KSBW Action News 8.
“He was referring to the fact that this guy is a soldier and this specific owner has anti-war, anti-Bush sentiments and these have been expressed in the location,” Ammar said.
The incident has spurred an uproar, with some residents writing letters to the editors of local newspapers and others boycotting all Pacific Grove restaurants until the location of the dispute was revealed.
The Chamber of Commerce said that pro DLI groups are planning to boycott the ice cream shop next week.

Armament For Lighthouse Sought
Never know when the killer whales may come ashore.
The society, he said, has received a $53,000 grant from a bequest of landscaping, and plans to restore some of the look and feel of the lighthouse’s grounds during World War II, when soldiers of the 54th Coast Artillery Regiment (Colored) were posted there with four 155mm guns shortly after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.

McDonalds Employee Supersizes From Cash Till
Like any fries with that?
An employee was arrested Saturday on suspicion of stealing $1,800 from a McDonald’s restaurant in Pacific Grove business, police said.
Police said Veronica Antoinette Smith, 28, was taken into custody after police observed her driving in the city of Seaside.
Guitar Mike, The Recreation Trail Strummer
I’ve wondered what the story was. Stop and listen while on your walk.
At 54, Urso has dreams and aspirations of making a CD one day, and maybe hitting it big, but doesn’t know how to get that done.
So he plays for tourists and locals who pass him on the recreation trail, a few hundred yards south of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. They reward him with coins and dollar bills.
“I had a pretty good day yesterday. The Row was packed with people walking around for the holidays and I wound up making about $30,” says Urso, who wears dirty jeans with softball-sized holes in the knees, a dark blue parka and an olive green cap. His silver hair is long and his beard could use a trim.
Still Ugly, Those Urban Newsboxes Just As Easy To Rob
A pair of unknown subjects were spotted in the act of vandalizing newspaper boxes. The suspects are believed to be in their forties. They wore dark clothing and were shaggy in appearance. The men were not apprehended. Later, an informant called in to say that several racks had been broken into in the area of 13th Street and Congress Avenue. Considerable damage was done to the boxes in both locations. An estimated $50 to $200 was missing from each box.

Thief working the Works: To the sticky fingered individual who lifted a gorgeous painting from the walls of the Works art gallery in Pacific Grove, I offer my most sincere feelings of pity, as you are obviously a pathetic person. As much as this world needs compassion right now, I really can’t feel anything for you but objective anger. Shame on you, you thief and loser.
Misty Dawn
Give it back: I join Misty Dawn, who wrote to report the theft of a painting from The Works gallery, in saying, “Shame on you” to the thief.
The Pacific Grove Art Center was also struck by a sneak thief who stole an exquisite needlepoint tote bag from a display by one of the studio artists. The incident was a personal violation against the artist.
In addition to the expense of materials, hundreds of hours of work were involved in creating this beautiful piece, which was displayed for the enjoyment of others. How could anyone possibly enjoy something that was stolen from the artist, on display at a nonprofit center, right before Christmas? This petty criminal deserves a lump of coal in his or her stocking.

P.G. Business Tells Army Sargent “We Don’t Serve Your Kind”
A soldier at the Presidio of Monterey got a taste of that attitude on Veterans Day in Pacific Grove this year. As he and his wife were leaving a business establishment, they were told, “We don’t serve your kind around here.”
Army Sgt. Derek Williams, who is studying Spanish at the Defense Language Institute, is just back from a combat tour in Iraq with the 504th Military Intelligence Battalion.
It’s the Ice Cream Shoppe on Lighthouse. The place is a shrine to the anti-Bush types.
