The gulls that are mucking up downtown are not Sea Gulls, but Western Gulls. Y’all aint got a SEAgull problem, pardner.
The hot topic forced the meeting to move from a small, Jewell Park meeting room, across the street to the museum. That’s where museum executive director Lori Mannel set the record straight. There is no such thing as a sea gull, she said, explaining that the circling, squawking hordes over Pacific Gull are Western Gulls — never found far from the ocean.
Anyway, readers of LighthouseAvenue.com no doubt can recall back in 2009 when the Dumpsters Of Commerce story was posted to illustrate my opinion that downtown’s bistro owners showed little respect for the town and it’s citizens. The constant violators from back then were checked recently and (surprise!), no wide open trash receptacles.
Seabreeze Motel
Mandos
Lighthouse Cinema
Fandango
PG Plaza – a little loose
Peppers
17th Street Grillee
P.G Juice N Java – kind of sloppy
Not all is rosy –
Some crows were picking up berries from the ground behind Peppers
Favaloros leaves garbage uncovered in the alley
City trash can with no cover
Grapes Of Wraith Catering – this is shared (obviously) with a medical office in the Central Medical Clinic. The lid was up, there were medical records laying there. HIPAA issues possibly, but no food scraps.
Check back in a week – see if there is no longer a gull problem.
