I lived across the street from the Singing Christmas Tree in the seventies. Here is a low-fi recording taken from our front porch.

Signs! That’s The Answer!
Putting up vague signs will bring in more business!
Blecch. Getting to look a little ghetto like there.
How about this one:
Signs! That’s The Answer!
P.G. Dash Camera – Durango Blows Stop Sign
Congress and Laurel.
At Least It’s Not Gull Poop Covering The Sidewalk
When you don’t have enough room to bolt a fence to the sidewalk and your sandwichboard sign is not big enough just take some paint and use the sidewalk to advertise your shop. At least use a paint that matches gull droppings so you don’t get.in trouble like a shop on Grand once did for painting the sidewalk.

Pacific Grove Is Such A Pedestrian Friendly Town
Dumpsters Of Commerce June 2014
Gulls need lots of food to produce the bird poo they leave.
Atop the noodle house
Sidewalk N/E Corner Lighthouse and Forest
Thanks to fine businesses downtown the gulls get free access to yummy sustenance.
Juice & Java never fails to leave the garbage open
And Nader Agha’s Holman Building welcomes the birds too. Is that an antique clock in there?
Remember to wash your hands after visiting
Look! It’s An Open House! Turn Here!
Well, there often is an open house sign on the sidewalk.

After:
Bert Mendelsohn, 86, and his blind dog were unharmed after he smashed his 1997 Lincoln Town Car into the Coldwell Banker real estate office on Lighthouse Avenue around 2:15 p.m. June 4, but his wife, 93 year-old Lottie Mendelsohn, was taken to Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula
P.G.’s Police May Be Understaffed, But They Do Have Lidar
The Pacific Grove Police Department said a lot of drivers are from out-of-town and sometimes they don’t realize the speed limits are so low. So they’re using a special tool called Lidar, to detect speeds before the driver even sees the officer.
It was not Lidar, but a huge building that slowed down an out of town driver last week
Sgt. Lafata pulled over two drivers for speeding, among other violations. Both drivers got warnings this time. He said it pays to own up to your mistakes.
“To be honest with you that’s something that we don’t really get very often in this line of work, so I do like to reward that,” said Sgt. Lafata.
If Lidar isn’t working correctly, Sgt. Lafata said any citations written during its use are thrown out.
Schlock Report: P.G. Business Improvement District Website
http://www.downtownpacificgrove.com/
Creation Date of September 9, 2011 by a local it seems.
Took this screen grab on January 14, 2014 after seeing the link somewhere. Above the fold is OK. Postcard view of the beach at dusk. Not necessary downtown or teaming with business but one of the top draws to P.G.
Below the fold – better than average schlock when the proofreader has the night off:
Event Calendar. Not much happening this month.
Well, what about next month? When is Feast Of Lanterns?
Move on, nothing to see there. Not much either on the business listings page. Though I think that is does provide a summary of the downtown businesses in 12 lines.
Perhaps that dead link to Member Log In prevents anyone from putting content on that listings page
Activities and Things To Do. Six activities and seven things to do there. 2 of the things to do are actually in P.G.
That link to Photos next to the tiny Monarch goes nowhere.
The over-produced and failure at content kind of mirrors the whole effort of promoting Pacific Grove as a worthy destination full of fun and excitement. A big 8 out of 10 on the schlock meter.
