“I was really wanting to make sure that nobody out of the area was going to take it,” said Ciliberti, a Realtor with Keller Williams and Peninsula resident since 1982. “It’s a piece of history and a landmark.”
Although the Reinstedts received several offers with one prospective buyer willing to pay substantially higher than the asking price, Debbie Reinstedt said the couple feel good about the caboose’s new owner.

The 102-year old train car owned by Monterey Peninsula couple Randy and Debbie Reinstedt since 1974 is up for sale for $27,000.
Located between Prescott and Hoffman avenues and adjacent to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new Center for Ocean Education and Leadership, the caboose has long been home to the couple’s antique and railroad memorabilia shop called Books, Bears & Railroad Wares. But the Reinstedts are now ready to let it go.
“My husband bought it and put me in it,” quipped Debbie Reinstedt, 79, noting that the couple has owned the caboose for 44 years and how difficult it’s been to reach a point of wanting to sell it. Randy Reinstedt, 83, is a noted Monterey Peninsula author.
Price is just $999,000 Which is 000,666 upside down. Something to think about considering it’s previous owner.
While his large ornate manor has taken on various different identities in the past – from a Mexican restaurant to an art gallery – its most recent incarnation was as a retail operation featuring luxury goods and antique consignment.
In November 2016 the mansion’s latest owner Jill Gifford purchased the property for $1.1 million. Then in December of 2017, Gifford, 47, along with her companion Benjamin Childs were found shot to death inside her Mesa, Arizona home. Gifford’s ex-husband, Bruce Gifford, was also found dead from a gunshot wound. Local news at the time reported it was being investigated as a murder-suicide.
Thirty dollars per person to be in a locked room for an hour. Cheaper than a North Fremont street motel, but not quite as scary.
So what is an escape room? It has been described as a one-hour adrenaline rush and out-of-the-box thinking adventure.
People enter a locked room (but not really locked) and are given one hour to solve puzzles that reveal the key to get out of the room. It’s good family fun, Christina Riddoch said. “The experience has been great,” she said. “It’s one hour of getting out of yourself.”
Eight Million Dollars for “to go from Fisherman’s Wharf to the Coast Guard station”. The money is coming from a grant (taxes) called the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 that was sold to the tax payers as an investment to fix our roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California. As usual, Governor Moonbeam lies about where our tax dollars are spent.
At least put some lights up and maybe a few 911 phones to cut down on the rapes, robberies and assaults that happens on that dangerous trail.
“Solutions for congested corridors are usually for Los Angeles or San Francisco so one of the things that we try to do with this grant is highlight the importance of offering an environmentally friendly and alternate form of transportation,” said Andrea Renny. She said that by creating a smoother running trail, drivers could be swayed to become bikers, therefore the improved Rec Trail could also serve to alleviate congestion on the road. And while some have advocated for the need to separate the bicyclists and pedestrians in that stretch of the trail, Renny said that the Parks and Recreation Master Plan calls for widening the trail first before other alternatives can be considered.

In a suit filed Dec. 28, 2017, Timothy Cleveland alleges that when he visited the Cannery Row Brewing Company on Dec. 30, 2015, and tried to use the downstairs restrooms, he was told the elevator was out of service. “He was informed the nearest accessible restrooms were in a parking structure that would have required him to navigate outside the restaurant and encounter steep slopes,”
Gods may be angry over the removal of the fountain to make room for more fake events.
Eric Abma, Asilomar superintendent with the Monterey State Historic Park office, said: “We’re investigating the cause but we’re not entirely sure – it’s possible that there’s a water leak under there.”
While the cracks were initially noticed on Sunday when the Monterey History Fest vendors were set up, Abma said they’re not the first crevices to appear there.
“We’ve had other cracks down there,” said Abma. “They’re not entirely new but definitely more significant on Sunday then we’ve seen before.”
Hey Montage, there may be some nice housing over on Arkwright, have a look.
Montage Health, the parent organization of the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula, is hoping to attract clinicians to the area by providing them with short-term housing options.
The non-profit company announced Monday its purchase of two apartment buildings expected to be completed at the end of the year at 230 Lighthouse and 255 Foam Street in New Monterey for $9 million. The 32-apartment units that are part of developer Carl Outzen’s three-story mixed use project, will provide short-term housing to newly-hired doctors, nurses and other clinicians while they secure permanent housing.
Problem is that the bums already disregard responsibility by living their chosen lifestyle. Maintaining any home requires responsibility. Attracting more bums will kill the golden egg laying goose.
Prior to Tuesday’s meeting, commercial parcels in the Lighthouse/Foam/Cannery Row area and all of Monterey’s Oak Grove neighborhood and parts of Casanova Oak Knoll, Del Monte, Del Monte Beach and Villa Del Monte neighborhoods were under consideration.
Public comment on Tuesday also centered on excluding the R3 district with one Laguna Grande resident noting the heavy impact that area is already experiencing from the homeless.
Glenwood neighborhood representative Lee Whitney said residents there were also putting out fires — both figuratively and literally — from the homeless population.
Comments like these came amid other comments about the Peninsula’s overall homeless epidemic and warnings to city officials that housing is but one ingredient to a real solution.
With the possibility of a hobbled Coast Guard on the Central Coast, local entities that have relied on the guard in the past may have to adjust their expectations.
“We utilize them but not on a routine basis,” said Sean James, the public safety superintendent for the California State Parks’ Monterey District.
“Monterey or Pacific Grove might put in a request where the Coast Guard is not available to respond,” said James.
There might be times when the State Parks’ rescue swimmers would be called in because a Coast Guard boat was not available. Water rescues in the Cannery Row, Point Pinos and Moss Landing areas benefit from the presence of the guard close by.
