Didn’t know that.

Cannery Row Divers Memorial

At around 9 a.m. Oct. 20, firefighters were dispatched to a medical emergency at Wharf 2 in Monterey “for a diver who lost consciousness during a rapid ascent from 99 feet below the surface,” he said. The fire department helped treat the diver, who was not identified, until an ambulance arrived and paramedics took over. They took the victim to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, where the emergency team quickly evaluated the diver’s condition and referred the case to the P.G. Hyperbaric Chamber for treatment

Mayoral Candidate Nick Smith Files Bankruptcy

From the Messy Mayor Candidate. Looks like the Smith himself is not very balanced budget wise.

Fiscal Sustainability
The City is in good financial health. We have over ten million dollars in reserves and are meeting the reserve policy we set many years ago. We have strong tax revenues which will increase due to new hotel taxes. I believe we must be wise as to our expenditures and use of funds. As Mayor, I’m determined to continue to have a balanced budget and strong reserves.

Fiscally Substainable?

How you make samurai run away?

You sho gun…

According to police, Giuseppi Abbruzzetti crawled through a bedroom window while holding a sheathed sword and started to walk down David Avenue before officers had to deploy pepper spray in the suspect’s face and five 40MM sponge rounds. They say that the rounds struck Abbruzzetti, which made him drop his sword before he was taken to the ground and then arrested.

So Long, Sloat

Sold you out to the hotel barons, commodore.

ATC Sloat

The Pacific Grove City Council voted 7-0 on Wednesday, Oct. 16 to vacate Sloat Avenue and sell it to landowner Foursome Development for $1.9 million, a crucial step toward the construction of a 222-unit luxury hotel where the American Tin Cannery currently sits along Ocean View Avenue at the gateway to the city.

The vote came after opposition from some residents who argued that Sloat Avenue would be a critical escape route in the rare instance of a tsunami or other disaster, among other arguments for why the street was still necessary to the city, or why the city hadn’t followed proper procedures to vacate.

Their arguments were rebutted point by point by City Attorney Brian Pierik and Community Development Director Karen Vaughn. Using maps of the city’s road system, Vaughn said the road that runs behind the ATC between Dewey and Eardley avenues was a minor street that would not be impacted during a tsunami, nor necessary for escape.

Weakly Endorses Poduri

Shocked? Couple of errors in that gushing review. The citizens of P.G voted for the hotel at ATC and the potato round about is not behind PG High.

Also endorses Tina Rau, the hateful DEI Chairperson.

Vote Machine

Since being elected to the City Council in 2020 as a freshly minted U.S. citizen, Chaps Poduri has proven to be to be a bright light among local politicians. He rightfully voted in
favor of the hotel project at the former American Tin Cannery, pledged his support for the takeover of Cal Am, voted for establishing a cannabis dispensary in P.G., advocated for a skate park in town, he has sought to add support and defense for the much-maligned Diversity Equity and Inclusion task force, voted against requiring restaurants to dismantle their parklets and using city funds to replace them. He spearheaded the process to study the dangerous five-way intersection behind P.G. High School, and that work has produced a $5 million grant from TAMC and approved plans for a teardrop-shaped roundabout.

$250,000 eh? Is it an antique just like the fake clock he sold?

Holmans Stained Glass

Developer Nader Agha wants to donate a stained-glass butterfly window to the City of Pacific Grove but finding a location is a challenge. He says an appraisal valued it at $250,000.

Over 20 years ago, developer Nader Agha decided to adorn the Holman Building in Pacific Grove with a large, half-moon shaped, Tiffany-style-stained glass window depicting Butterfly Town’s beloved monarch butterflies.
