Just like the vacation homes in PG that are vacated in the winter, the Futons And Such store whisks away back to it’s Alvarado Street location.
Another empty store to keep balance with the empty Hallmark store.

John Denver Memorial Update
Just got around to checking out the shoreline on a clear November day and noted the progress of the plaque placement for the John Denver Memorial near the crash site. 
Don’t forget the faction of Angry Old Farts that don’t want to have it there. They must be preparing a lawsuit of their own..
Business Slow? Re-Route The Tourists
On Tuesday, the City Council approved placing directional signs that would route motorists on Ocean View Boulevard up to Lighthouse Avenue so they could travel through “historic downtown Pacific Grove” on their way to the fabled drive.
The sign would have eastbound drivers hang a left at 17th Street, go up to Lighthouse and turn right, rather than simply go straight and follow Jewell or Pacific avenues to 17-Mile Drive.
Looks like the first plan to send them up Grand fizzled. And what happened here long ago that makes it so historic anyway?
But really. The Pebble Bound tourists are more likely to follow the shoreline to see the true beauty of P.G. What is better to see and stop to look at?
The coastline that is often called “The Poor Man’s 17 Mile Drive”
Or do the really want the Tourist Trappings like junkyard garbage,
. . and rusty yard decor.
What would you choose?

Dumpsters Of Commerce: Hello, Code Enforcement?
Blog entry from March about P.G. Juice n Java piling trash in the planter box next to the overflowing dumpster.
Box with address.
It’s still there, though in a BIG way.
Notice on dumpster fence
Pallets, paper and cardboard. Certainly combustible. So, does this qualify as an “accumulation”? Or does LBAM Moth spray fireproof rubbish?
The Road To Tacky
More signs.
We have open house signs that block sidewalks:
Merchant signs cluttering up “Historic Downtown”
Now get ready for more trashy advertising with “Estate Sales”
Estate Sales? Why not just sell it at the antiques store, who proudly proclaims what it is . . in a sandwich board sign:
It May Not Be Lois Vuitton
. . but PG does offer fashionable accessories recycled from Prunedale Junkyards.
$141 for an old license plate made into a purse. Wow.
