Tree Posse Gets Neutered

Common sense comes to the tree policy – we can learn a lot from a ‘moron’.

Stumps Platt Park

The proposals include measures to give more discretion about tree pruning and removal to property owners, and allow them to have a tree expert determine whether a tree is sufficiently unhealthy to cut down, rather than leaving that decision up to city officials.

They also call for an end to criminal penalties and limit any penalties to civil fines.

Jewell Park Clubhouse To get Remodeled

One of the greatest things that could happen to P.G., in Moammar speak. I remember seeing old men playing dominoes in there when I was a kid.

The house was built and donated by Pacific Grove Rotary in 1952 and has been a venue for community and support group meetings, including Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.

In addition to meetings, the renovated meeting house will serve increased needs generated by the use of Jewell Park for the Monday farmers market.

How To Prepare For AT&T UVerse Install

Frequently asked question, how do I get ready for that new Internet and TV service from AT$T? As a public service, here you go:

Holding The ATT Banner

Prepare to have your sidewalks blocked while they tear up the place:
Att Uverse Blocking Sidewalk

Then get ready to have your landscaping scalped:
Att Uverse Kills Shrubs
And prepare to have some big graffiti attracting humming cabinets plopped down on every corner:
Att Uverse More Pedestals

Prepare to have your actions monitored

Att Spies Nsa

And prepare to be underwhelmed by DSL that is faster than Red Shift but still way slower than cable. Currently only the subscribers that are within a certain distance of those cabinets can get 2 high definition channels at the same time, and if you do watch or record your 2 concurrent HD channels, your internet slows down.

Prepare to be flooded with ads, and be told that Uverse is “fiber”. It’s fiber to the humming box, then it’s passed on to the old copper lines to your home.

Prepare to pay for 16 meg down and only get 6, because you live farther from the humming box. Guess what? Both pay the same no matter what speed of service you get.

You’re welcome!

PG Bull

Rosy article in the Pacific Grove Hometown Bulletin says there’s just one empty storefront on Lighthouse ave:

What? I counted four three empty businesses this morning:

The Hart Mansion – former restaurant (take this off the list since it’s a private residence for now)Hart Mansion

The Wachovia Bank – good location for a restaurant with outdoor tables.Wachovia

Primo – another former restaurantprimo for sale

Hallmark – vacant for about 50 years it seems.
Hallmark 2010

Conclusion, I’m thankful for the free paper that is mailed to my home. I use it for a kitty litter pan liner.
