Must be those Methodists, keeping us safe from pagan celebrations.

“They stole all my sister-in-law’s stuff out the back of their truck and tried ripping the decorations that were already up,” the woman said, adding that her boyfriend yelled at the thieves and they took off in a small dark colored sedan. “We’re pretty sure a truck was also involved.

We had one [reported] incident of Halloween decorations being stolen and vandalized on Oct. 27 in the 700 block of Hillcrest Ave.,” Pacific Grove Police Sgt. Brian Anderson said. “Skeletons were damaged and parts of them were stolen.” While some suggested that police check the city’s traffic surveillance system for vehicles that matched the description,  Anderson said police did not have a “sufficiently detailed description of the suspect vehicle to use our cameras.”

Tried to seize the Monarch Resort. I’m usually suspicious of these tax funded humanity projects.

Monarch Resort

On Oct. 16, FBI and IRS agents arrested 31 -year-old Cody Holmes, financial officer of Shangri-La Industries, on a federal complaint alleging he provided fake bank records to the California Department of Housing and Community  Development, which paid him nearly $25 million in taxpayer funds for a state homelessness project dubbed Project Homekey.

And the Coast Weakly thought this was a “Great Thing”.

School Alerts Parents To Horrific Predator

Eh, it was a dead deer that was killed by a mountain lion. Quick to send out the warnings, except when human predators are there all the time.

On Oct. 1O, Pacific Grove Unified School District sent an alert to parents that staff at Forest Grove Elementary School that morning had discovered a dead dear on
campus. It was apparent that the deer was the victim of a
predator. “This morning, school site staff discovered a deceased deer on the Forest Grove Elementary campus, behind K-Wing,” PGUSD noted. “The scene indicated possible wildlife activity, and California Department of Fish and Wildlife has been notified.”
Children were not at school when the attack occurred,
and Pacific Grove students are on fall break this week.

$200,000 For Schools, Good?

Not really. It’s for 2 delivery trucks to meet the needs of serving school lunches. Never had a problem with serving students when the population was more than it is today. Only problem then was those hardtack grilled cheese.

Students at Pacific Grove Middle School were probably surprised to see what appeared to be a food truck, complete with colorful, oceanside graphics, on their campus. The truck, formally called a “mobile serving station,” is one of two electric vehicles the district purchased for $96,000 apiece that distribute food to students to reduce the cafeteria lunch line, which can get long.

Where Should The Weed Store Go?

Would it be nice for the stoners if it was in a roundabout?

While there had been lofty sales tax revenue predictions for a pot shop opening in the city, the estimate has plummeted significantly.
An argument in support of a 2022 ballot measure that was signed by Councilman Chaps Poduri and then-council candidate Tina Rau, who has since been elected, told voters that one weed dispensary could bring $300,000 to the city.
But in a public report to councilmembers in late June, Mogensen said that the estimated annual revenue for a dispensary is ‘ ‘up to $50,000; actual amount of annual revenue may be more or less than this estimate.

So we can drink our hops in the fog. OK.

On Wednesday, the PG. City Council gave the owners of Hops & Fog at 511 Lighthouse Ave. the green light to build a so-called bulb-out — essentially an extension of the sidewalk to accommodate outdoor dining. The council voted 6-0 to issue an encroachment permit to the restaurant. The reconfiguration, according to a rendering provided to the city, would eliminate one parking space in front of the restaurant. All construction costs and permit fees will be paid for by Hops & Fog.

Notice on the window and a sign that said, “The BEER IS 0K!”
