Where Are The Butterflies At The Mvsevm?

Mvsevm Speakeasy

For sale it seems. The exact plan some had was to turn the Mvsevm into another art gallery.

local historian Esther Trosow said she was “flabbergasted” when she went into the store at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History and discovered they were selling monarchs — dead ones.

“It’s one thing to have monarchs on display in the museum” as part of an exhibit, Trosow said. “In fact, the museum sorely needs an adequate monarch exhibit. It’s another thing to have specimens displayed as baubles in the gift shop.”

The framed display was introduced after a major renovation and overhaul of the museum store, which included abandoning the sale of cheap toys in favor of better quality items and crafts from local artists.

Know The Curfews, Kids

I think curfews are more to give cops a reason to stop bad behavior. No one is out hunting for kids out late.

Monterey, Salinas and Marina prohibit residents 18 and younger from being out in public after 11p.m. In Carmel, Pacific Grove, Seaside and King City, the witching hour is 10 p.m.

Sitting on a bench on Alvarado Street at 10:30 one recent night, Rachel Gillian, 14, of Monterey, said she was aware of the law. Had she crossed the border into Pacific Grove, she would have been breaking curfew.

And lawsuits have been filed against the Pollaccis and the liquor stores, which coincidentally are in escrow

Prosecutor Michael Breeden did not get all he asked for Friday. Judge Adrienne Grover, who was recently assigned to the case, said the account of one woman who says she was kidnapped from her home by Pollacci and another man, taken to the Carmel River and raped 31 years ago is too dissimilar to the other women’s stories and too damaging to Pollacci to be told to his new jury.

According to statements in court, one of the women who has yet to tell her story publicly maintains she met Pollacci when she bought a bottle of water at Ron’s Liquors and told him she was going to the beach to study. She told investigators Pollacci later found her on the beach south of Asilomar, walked her to her car and raped her in the parking lot.
