You sho gun…
According to police, Giuseppi Abbruzzetti crawled through a bedroom window while holding a sheathed sword and started to walk down David Avenue before officers had to deploy pepper spray in the suspect’s face and five 40MM sponge rounds. They say that the rounds struck Abbruzzetti, which made him drop his sword before he was taken to the ground and then arrested.
The mini golf and bar concept cost 1.2 million dollars to build.
The new sports-bar-meets-indoor-miniature-golf-course concept opened in February in the space that was formerly Cannery Row Brewing Company. In the year leading up to the much-anticipated opening, Deacon had a construction contract for $1,278,914 – Squid’s seen the contract language in black and white, because it’s attached to the company’s court case.
On July 30, Deacon sued Tipsy Putt, alleging the bar has failed to pay nearly half of the contract amount, $599,561.25 (plus interest)
Rec trail still a dangerous place to be at night.
The Monterey Police Department announced that David Thomas, 65, was booked into jail with a bail set at $1 million.
The Monterey Police responded last week to a report of a man being attacked and severely injured near Reeside Avenue and the Recreation Trail. The person reporting the incident was a passerby who the victim had flagged down for help police said. The victim said a man with a crowbar or similar weapon attacked him.
Thomas was also previously arrested in November for felony assault with a deadly weapon after he struck a person who was experiencing homelessness with an expandable metal baton. The victim in that incident was not seriously injured. A witness reported the November incident and said Thomas claimed the victim was drinking alcohol in public. Thomas said he was acting in self-defense after the victim called him a racial slur. Ultimately, he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and was sentenced to 40 days in jail and a year of probation.

Street is getting a slurry coating, that cheap way to cover the patchwork of repairs. Bumps in the road remain and it lasts about 2 years.
S is For Slurry
The City of Monterey says people should expect delays on Lighthouse from May 6 to May 9 as major roadwork is scheduled to begin.
Work on the northbound lanes of Lighthouse toward Pacific Grove will start at 6 a.m. and go until 5 p.m.. Northbound lanes toward Downtown Monterey will begin at 9 a.m. and go through 5 p.m.
The city says this is for slurry seal work to be done, which is applied in order to protect the underlying pavement.
Sandwiches were so so, Bread to Meat ratio way off. Compagno’s is right up the hill.
Thank the voters of Monterey for their 82% vote for Measure S. And some slightly stupid planners.
On Tuesday, some drivers reported being stuck in Lighthouse traffic for more than an hour. The roadwork created Monterey’s version of L.A. rush hour traffic.
The traffic was so bad neighborhood streets were jammed with cars as drivers took alternate routes, streets were blocked off and parking spots off limits- businesses feeling the pinch.
“Definite business impact. I was here all day yesterday, and I didn’t see anybody until after seven o’clock, and that’s so different for us,” added Clewis (Employee of Ooh La La).
The work is all part of Measure S, a long-term taxpayer-funded project to repair Monterey’s streets, sidewalks and storm drains.
Into high rent storefronts and million-dollar condos
An eclectic building in the heart of New Monterey that once housed the Paper Wing Theatre (moved to Cannery Row) and the Cat’s Meow vintage clothing store (moved to Santa Cruz), is now under a major remodel to become a three-story mixed-use building with retail on the ground level and five condominium units on top, complete with a rooftop retreat for residents with views of Monterey Bay.
Includes cutting down the street trees and removing the stoplights.
That goes together, right?

Best way to avoid getting on camera is to drive a Tesla or Audi. They seem to be exempt from displaying a front plate.
Monterey PD- announced it is exploring the implementation of an automated license-plate-reading program, referred to as ALPR, that would utilize fixed and mobile cameras. The devices capture images of vehicles and their license plates and can automatically run the numbers through crime databases to see if the owner is wanted. The footage can also help identify suspects based on when and where they were in the city at the time of a crime.
