That’s Hospital-iano!
Barely open for two weeks and PG Police, ambulance and PG fire department were seen in front of Favaloro’s Big Night Bistro at around 7:30 Thursday night the 29th. Somebody was wheeled out on a stretcher and taken away in the ambulance. The ambulance left with the siren and lights going.
What that was about, more family squabbles or just some bad clams?

Flush twice, water for Carmel has to get over a hill.
The plan involves a process called reverse osmosis, where treated waste water would be pushed through thin membranes. Water molecules would pass through the membranes, but bacteria, viruses and other pathogens would be filtered out.
Pacific Grove thinks the Monterey Bay Aquarium should pay more than $1 a year to lease the slice of city land the world-class facility occupies, drawing more than a million visitors annually.
Cash-strapped Pacific Grove wants the aquarium to pay more rent or help the city improve its services, including running the Museum of Natural History or fixing its storm water problems, said City Manager Jim Colangelo.
“Given our financial situation, we think we need to get more from that kind of an asset,” Colangelo said.
An aquarium representative said that while the nonprofit is sympathetic to the city’s financial situation, its money is better spent reinvesting in the exhibits and programs that draw tourists to its facility and to Pacific Grove’s hotels and shops.
Citizens Against Government Waste today named Rep. Sam Farr, D-Carmel, the nation’s Porker of the Month for adding $25 million for spinach growers to the fiscal 2007 emergency supplemental bill.
The House of Representatives will soon vote on the U.S. Readiness, Veterans’ Health and Iraq Accountability Act of 2007, which costs $21 billion more than the President’s request — mostly because of domestic spending unrelated to military operations added by lawmakers to the bill.
Sam The Sham loves to spend our money. Not in any way that is helpful to most Americans, just those that vote like him, in lock step with Democrats. Heck, if Farr needed to make a right turn, he’d spend more time and money by turning left three times.
Back in October the Californian reported that Sam was requesting ‘only’ 6 million for e. coli research. Looks like with each left turn the cost goes up . . .
A man suspected of being involved in a robbery at Del Monte Center on Monday was arrested late Thursday while sitting in a car in Pacific Grove, Monterey police reported.

Attract the tourists, and their predators follow . ..
In a recent rare visit to Cannery Row I noticed that there are very few landmarks left. The cannery buildings are all but gone and replaced with replicas. What those that are still there have changed drastically to accommodate imprisoned fish, tourists and more commerce. Gone forever are original bohemian places like Odyssey Records, Kalisa’s, Capone’s Warehouse and The 812 Cinema. One thing that has not really physically changed in over 35 years is the radio station offices, studio and transmitter that broadcasts at 1240 AM. Once Monterey’s only top 40 pop station KMBY, it’s now a talk radio format known as KNRY. Back in the 1970s, friends and I would often visit the studio, whether to collect prizes won in the many call in contests, or just see the DJ working at the turntables. Here’s a photo collection of the studio as it is today.

Going upstairs. Everything is the same as I remember from the 70s.
Reach the top, go around the corner . .
The Hallway. Door to studios, observation window, door to offices.
Here’s where you’d see real live DJs spinning 45s like The Monkees or Martha And The Vandellas.
If you went into the office lobby, you could pick up the latest survey of the “Top 12 plus 40”
Time to leave. Going downstairs you’d notice the low ceiling. The redwood ceiling is from the 70s era.
Thanks for the memories. Step out and back out into the phony charm.
Seen this for a couple of weeks – A pile of garbage in a planter that is next to a dumpster on 16th street. After a few days a box with an address shows who the litterbug is – PG Juice n Java.
Here’s the dump

Clean that up!
At least eight law enforcement officials from the Salinas, Monterey and Carmel police departments, the Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, the California Highway Patrol, and California State Parks established a perimeter as Pacific Grove police searched for Gastelum, police said.
At 1 p.m., police took Gastelum into custody near Cedar and Maple streets. He was charged with suspicion of vehicle theft and suspicion of residential burglary. He is being held at the Monterey County Jail on $50,0000 and is on a no-bail probation hold, police said.
KSBW reports that the suspect got away, and brings up the pay issue.
More than a dozen officers went door to door looking for a man who they said stole a sport utility vehicle and then crashed it, officials said..
Schools in the area were locked down and additional officers were called in from other cities.
Police said they did not catch the man, but the incident is raising bigger questions about budget cuts and the staffing at local police departments.
Pacific Grove police said they had to call for backup because they only had three officers on duty at the time of the crime.
How many patrol cops does PG really need?
Mountain lion warnings have been posted at Pacific Grove High School and nearby Forest Grove Elementary School after the carcass of a deer apparently killed by a big cat was discovered on campus last week.
The slain deer was found under the visitors’ bleachers at Breaker Stadium at 4 p.m. Thursday, said high school principal Stan Dodd.
No lion was seen, he said, but an animal control officer and state Department of Fish and Game warden confirmed that the carcass was likely a mountain lion kill.
“We’ve alerted everyone,” he said. “We’ve informed everyone to take precautions at the school at night and before dawn. Luckily, the time they’re active is when the kids aren’t here.”
The deer was removed by the Department of Fish and Game to prevent the lion from returning to finish its meal, said Police Chief Darius Engles.
OK, so let’s tick off the lion and steal it’s food. Will it leave or just look for something else to eat?
