Pebble Beach Golf Shuttle Shuffle

Posted on by
Welcome To The Crosby
Used to be you could drive into Pebble and park on the polo grounds or brave the soggy lots to park, or reward the young capitalists that ran private parking lots in their parents’ driveways. These days they keep most of the spectators’ cars out of the forest and make you ride buses into the event.

The best bus ride looks to be the Cannery Row shuttle. $10 for rides from Cannery Row parking garages to and from Pebble. $7 to park the car in the garage right next to the bus stop.

Keep driving past the CSUMB/Fort Ord 12th Street exit by Kohls & Best Buy. Exit on Aquajito Road. Keep going after MPC, land in Monterey or Cannery Row. If you are staying in P.G. head over to Cannery Row. You will be closer to some welcome services when you get back from crawling the course.

Next is the same deal in Downtown Monterey. Park in the garages on Tyler street and ride to Pebble.

Bad deal is the Pacific Grove Chamber Of Commerce. $15 to board a bus at the Mvsevm. There is no parking near the stop, you have to compete with locals to park in their neighborhood. When you return, you will be in the ghost town that is Pacific Grove.

Dreadful is the Fort Ord CSUMB route. Sure, it’s the first sign you see coming into town and it an easy on/off the freeway. But it’s out in the middle of nowhere (Marina).

Le Normandie Restaurant Special Of The Day: Frauduleux?

Wonder why they kept on opening & closing restaurants and didn’t just get jobs? The collective food talent looks great. Management skills look pathétique.

After the news began to question the the Richards’ stories of woe the whole thing goes aigre The news rack for the Pine Cone in front of the post office was vandalized the day the paper came out.

But to dispel doubt among skeptics who believe the Richards have feigned cancer to gain sympathy, Christine said she would provide medical records right away to prove that her husband and son had genuine illnesses.

On Tuesday, however, she said she needed another week to come up with the documents. And on Thursday, restaurant owner Nancy Lewis left a stern voicemail message:

“I want this whole harassment to stop,” Lewis said. “We are not going to give anymore interviews or information, and if anything more of this comes of this harassment and this National Enquirer point of view, then I’ll get my lawyer involved. This is it, Kelly. Stop it.”.

Tree Gets Death Sentence For Crime Of Being There

Lisa “Bare” Bennett sat out on this one.

Wallcot Pine Tree

A stately and apparently healthy Monterey pine towering over a Pacific Grove house will come down, the Pacific Grove City Council ruled 5-1 Wednesday.

Residents Stephen and Michaela Braveman sought removal of the tree that stands on the city right-of-way in front of their house at 239 Walcott St. after several Monterey pines in neighboring George Washington Park toppled during a storm in October.

The 30-year-old tree was examined by two former city foresters and both pronounced it healthy but in need of trimming, said city public works director Celia Perez Martinez.

No Smoking On The Rec Trail Is Official

Toothless law. I suppose that vandalism, robbery & public drunkenness are also not allowed on the rec trail, but it goes on unchecked. Watch yourselves when on the trail.

No Smoking Dogs

The Monterey City Council unanimously adopted revisions to the current ordinance regulating smoking in public places. The revised ordinance extends the no smoking ban to the Recreation Trail.

Stupid P.G. Criminal Caught In Act

Posted on by

A Pacific Grove man was arrested on suspicion of burglary Tuesday after a neighbor spotted him climbing into a window of a residence, police said.

Pacific Grove police said they arrested Andrew Scott Middlebrook, 19, about 11:30 a.m. after he ran from the home near Gibson Avenue and Monterey Street. He was caught with stolen property a few blocks away after a short foot chase, police said.

Now look at this picture and ask why the news calls him a ‘man’.

That’s no man. Might be some inmates best friend though..

End the furloughs. Put some employees back to work.

The mid-year review of the city’s financial situation indicates that the city has the ability to cancel the remaining six furlough days, according to the city council agenda.

Cancellation of the remaining six furlough days would cost the city approximately $65,000.

Arsonist Pleads Guilty In Tattoo Shop & Restaurant Fires

Posted on by

In all the news articles reporting on this there is no mention whatsoever of the suspicious fire at the David Avenue apartment complex that happened around the same time.

Nathan Augustine, age 28 of Pacific Grove, pled guilty to two counts of arson and admitted using an incendiary device.

Police searched Augustine’s house and found numerous containers of lighter fluid, gloves similar to gloves found at the Lattitudes Restaurant, and the unique symbol similar to the British Union Jack with additional lines through it. Augustine was arrested and confessed to the crimes.

Mayor Delivers State Of The City Message

One sentence sums it up:

People are out of work, businesses are closed, and residents have lost their homes to foreclosures, Garcia said.

Nothing earth shattering. Carry on. Write some checks to bring tourists to P.G. and never mind there is nothing for them to do when they get here, they will be mad as heck and go to Carmel. Library cuts hours, police are short staffed, birds poop.
