“Years before Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, in 1974, Gary Kildall booted the world’s first commercially successful personal computer operating system into life in Pacific Grove,” according to Laws, who also said Digital Research was “one of the brightest stars in the pioneering days of the PC revolution.” The discussion comes about a decade after Kildall ‘s daughter and son and approximately 30 former Digital Research Inc. employees gathered outside the company’s former 801 Lighthouse Ave. headquarters
for the unveiling of a plaque cemented into the sidewalk to honor his legacy.
Kildall died July 1 1, 1994, after a blow to the head at the Franklin Street Bar & Grill in Monterey.

Dionne Ybarra Tells Tall Tale

Posted on by

Been a renter since moving out of mom’s house in 1989? Uhhh no. And throw in a race chip for some credo.

As a solution, Ybarra explained her in-laws helped them with a down payment on a house “so that our mortgage was affordable.” “This was the first time I was confronted by housing prices coupled with the responsibilities of home ownership,” Ybarra said, adding that she and her husband were “very lucky that we were able to buy when we did.” She credited her housing situation on “White privilege.” But in a social media post about two weeks ago touting her endorsement from a renters’ group, Ybarra, 53, seemed to contradict what she wrote in the book. “I’ve been a renter since I moved out of my mom’s house in 1989,” she said. “I’ve moved 20 times in 35 years.”

Does Traffic Safety Mean Removing Crosswalks?

Posted on by

Don’t cross at Pine Avenue at Fountain, go find another. Sure, detour to 15th street? Kids are not going to do that.

The city is expected to hear a report from the traffic engineer who believes it was the right call to remove a crosswalk students would normally use.

He says it’s safer, but parents say otherwise.

Three crosswalks were previously consolidated into one crosswalk at Pine Avenue and 15th street, but there is debate that three is safer.

“They have to go way out of their way to cross at a safe spot and I know some middle schoolers aren’t going to do that,” Sally Jones a resident of Pacific Grove said. “It just makes sense to put it back the crosswalk.”

It turns out the home she lives in, 333 Junipero, is owned by her husband’s parents, JAMES & KATHRYN ECKSTAEDT, property tax bill below. Her husband is Dave Eckstaedt, see link to his Facebook page below.

Property Tax for Junipero

Here’s the kicker, in her ebook (screenshot below), she describes in detail how she became a homeowner! Of course, that wasn’t enough, she finishes up with a lament about how she “stumbled back into white privilege.”

So, by her own account, Ybarra is caught red handed lying about her home ownership status, not to mention wallowing in white guilt when she claims to be a “woman of color.”

She stumbled into something alright…a toxic pile of virtue signaling B.S.

96-Year-Old Forest Hill Manor Tennant Gets To Stay

A lifetime deal is for the lifetime of the resident. See story from August.

Forest Hill Manor

Fourteen days after issuing the eviction notice, two Pacific Grove Senior Living officials informed Jean in person that “she would not be evicted and there would be paperwork coming to assure her of that fact,” according to friend Bob Sadler. In a letter to Jacques and other residents, Sanchez claimed that “there was never a decision to evict Ms. Jacques,” and that the Aug. 16 “three-day notice to pay or quit” from facility owner  Pacifica Senior Living was merely to inform the elderly resident that “it was now time to start seeking government subsidies to help her pay her expenses.”

DEI driven, no doubt.

“Realistically, there’s almost no way we can win” if the city is sued for refusing to change to district elections, councilwoman Lori McDonnell said.
Since 2022, the League of United Latin American Citizens has pushed P.G. to make the change to avoid violating the California Voting Rights Act, and on Aug. 23, the group sent a certified letter to the city formally requesting it go to district elections while also requesting it adopt a resolution to do so within 45 days and adopt an ordinance  establishing districts within 90 days.
