aPOThecary Not Open, Not Selling Pot

A Pot Hicary

A Pot Hicary Fail

Sure looked open with the sign in the window. Soon a “Sorry We’re Closed” sign appeared on the door. Then the Pot sign came down, and the closed sign was gone too. Can’t help that the person operating the store was arrested for shipping pot via UPS.

(Judge) Kingsley has ordered the dispensary’s operators to appear in court April 14 to explain why a long-term injunction against the store should not be issued. “The city is pleased the court responded so quickly to our request for immediate relief,” city attorney David Laredo said.

In January, Maniscalco applied for a business license from the city but it refused to issue him one. The city contends The Apothecary would violate a 45-day moratorium on the operation of marijuana dispensaries the city council passed Jan. 20.

Jordan Thomas Pollacci

Pine Cone reports that accused robber Jordan Pollaccii worked at Ron’s Liquor in P.G. Yes, the same liquor store that his father Tommy worked at.

I would not patronize businesses that employ rapists, robbers or domestic abusers.

Pollacci was taken into custody at the police department late Feb. 24. “He voluntarily came to the station, and during the course of the interview, he was arrested,” Engles said. He was lodged at Monterey County Jail on $80,000 bail.

Engles could not say how Pollacci is related to Pebble Beach resident Tom Pollacci, whose rape trial is set to take place later this month, but the younger Pollacci was often seen working in Ron’s Liquors on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove, which is owned by the Pollacci family and is the scene of the April 2008 crimes alleged against Tom
Pollacci.

Family That Fights Together, Gets Hit Back And Goes To Jail Together

Pebble Beach mom has son’s back. Both no match for the victim, “who fought back, but with restraint”.

Lois Lintz, 64, was released on a citation following the Feb. 25 scuffle, while her son, 32-year-old Jared Miller, who lives with her in Pebble Beach, was taken to Monterey County Jail after causing hundreds of dollars in damage to the police department’s holding cell, according to Carmel Police Sgt. Paul Tomasi.

NOAA Adds To The Ugly

When I first read the headline in the Pine Cone I thought about the ugly murals that adorn the building – no now they have erected some out of style light poles with solar panels that need to be big enough to work in the fog.

Then they struggle for justification – thefts, mountain lions, they are ‘green’. Just say we are the Fed, your rules do not apply. Is there more than weather and tide information in that building?

Noaa Lights Of Pain

A few months ago somebody cut the fence to the NOAA facility, Schwing said. The new lights, NOAA contends, will not only reduce the danger from human intruders but also the threat of wild animals.

“Predators have moved into our neighborhood,” he explained. “We are hoping this will dissuade mountain lions and coyotes from hanging out. This is a legitimate concern because we have had a number of deer kills on our property mountain lions and coyotes.”

A similar argument from a homeowner would probably be laughed at by coastal commission planners, who also require that property owners not create barriers to wildlife.

Le Normandie Restaurant Special Of The Day: Frauduleux?

Normandie

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.”.

P.G. Library Still Needs Funds. Let’s Blow $40,000 On A Web Site

And sustainable kook Deborah “Bankrupt” Lindsay calls volunteer websites “schlock”. Some sites might be schlock, but only a schmo would buy a website to mislead tourists to visit our drek ghost town.

Library Book Drop

Pacific Grove will spend nearly $40,000 on a new website the city says will draw more tourists downtown and bolster business.

Though the Pacific Grove City Council went back and forth on the issue at the Jan.20 meeting, council members ultimately approved a resolution authorizing the city to spend $39,950 on a new website.

Holman Hotel Host To Walgreens?

Sounds good on paper. A Walgreen store would not step on to many blessed businesses that oppose anything that would compete (Grove Market, Fandango, Pollacci Liquor & Date, etc). But if Nadir is in the mix, I predict failure.

Walgreen Holmans

The first floor of the Holman building in downtown Pacific Grove could become home to a Walgreens pharmacy — a large retailer that could bring a boost to local business, according to the city’s chamber of commerce.

Agha’s plan for a 300-room hotel, which the developer has pursued for years, would still be possible even if the building’s first floor is leased to a retailer. Currently, the 60,000-square foot-space is occupied by antique dealers, a bank and a restaurant.

P.G. Has The Highest Permit Fees

Hey, they have to find a way to pay the high-paid staff somehow. And it never stopped Juan The Builder from flipping houses
Juan The Builder Sunk It

In comparing Pacific Grove’s fees to the county and other cities, the grand jury asked each jurisdiction what it would charge to handle plan checks and building permits for a 1,400-square-foot home with construction costs of $350,000.

In Carmel, the fees would be $3,949.69, while Pacific Grove would charge $10,091.38. Monterey would charge $6,491.92, while the county would charge $5,016.51 for the same structure, the grand jury found. City officials did not return messages left by The Pine Cone Thursday.
