Now That’s Original

Not!

At least the previous failed art gallery left it’s signs up, so you know what it is/was.Welcome To A Vacant Gallery

Storefront empty since last September is now occupied. By another art gallery. No wonder there is no sales tax revenue in P.G.

What about advertising revenue? Even the cheapest weekly papers are full of ads for dining, health, real estate and retail but it’s evident that galleries do not “shop local” for services.
In the June 4, 2008 issue of the Bulletin, there is only 1 art gallery ad.
In the June 6, 2008 issue of the Pine Cone, there are only 2 both for Carmel galleries.

Another New Ghetto News Rack

The flock of rusty or warped plastic pulp dispensers in front of the post office was replaced back on the 24th of April.

Check out that wrong color post. Accepting such errors is the first step to the ghetto look.

May Is Crosswalk Awareness Month In P.G.

The City Council will consider the approval of a Resolution naming the month of May 2008 as “Pedestrian Safety Month” as part of the Pacific Grove Police Department’s ongoing efforts to promote pedestrian safety throughout the City.
Reference: Police Chief Engles
Recommended Action: Adopt the Resolution

Sometimes hard to see people crossing the street downtown, but please do try and look.

Even harder to see the pedestrians (or the pedestrians see cars) at Fountain & Lighthouse when delivery trucks block the crosswalk because someone that drives a gold Chevy pickup (presumably an employee of Victorian Corner) uses the “Loading Zone” as a personal all-day parking place.
