Park anywhere you like on Lighthouse Avenue, just use the patented 4-Way Flasher and you too might get away with parking in a red zone, just like Monterey Fish Co!

Being Distinct
Going Out Of Business since August 2012! Smallest Going Out Of Business sign yet on the longest ongoing going out of business sale ever. Think it will really happen? Probably not, there is no “March 31th”. Get ready for Hazaras Emergency Spell Check Reopening Sale.
Oriental carpet stores are the all time champion of fake “going out of business” sales.
Phony going-out-of-business sales long have plagued Oriental rug retailing here and across the country, dealers say. The industry is susceptible because Oriental rugs can cost thousands of dollars, and many consumers lack the expertise to judge whether a rug’s quality matches its price. That frequently makes the lure of huge markdowns effective, especially when the discount is off a grossly inflated original price.
Also lacking distinction, the rapidly changing 606 Lighthouse Avenue cries out for another occupant.
This place is a regular photo-shop satire subject – 2009:
Still Sustaining The Gulls – Open Dumpsters In Pacific Grove
Long running story here on the blog, the Dumpsters Of Commerce, where Pacific Grove businesses show their lack of regard for the health and safety of the town. Some have improved, notably Mando’s and Fandango. Others still don’t give a darn and continue to violate health codes.
Let’s look at Juice & Java, yep wide open

Come and get it!
Too much for one bird
Call up the guests and have a brunch party. Then poop on everything.

Tidepool Police Shocked! Shocked! That Signs Are Posted To Warn About Seal Birth Area
Every spring the seals arrive at Hopkins to have babies and signs get posted informing people to stay away. Looks like Jim Willoughby has awoke from his winter hibernation and is suddenly outraged that someone would post the signs on the railing along the rec trail.
Anyone walking along the trail early this month could not have missed the proliferation of 11 obtrusive and intimidating signs adjacent to the Hopkins Marine Station fence. Some were unusually large red inflammatory signs with a foreboding warning against entry to the coastline beyond that point.
Let’s go back to 2012 when the city erected a green lath fence in this same area, blocking the viewshed and access to the beach. For some unknown reason, the city added a white plastic fence next to the green lath fence, creating an eyesore. Since then, the green lath fence has been removed and replaced with a permanent wooden rail fence, which is now posted with warning signs.
Well, what can we expect? The rec trail is a place where many more signs can be found, some that are downright ugly or tacky. Where is the outrage Willoughby?
Signs to sucker the tourists
Signs for vandals to decorate
More signs to to sucker tourists
Graffiti unchecked
Go back to bed Jim and call when you can do something that really matters.

Downtown Struggles While It’s Crossroads Undergo “Beautification”
Pavels, Grove Market, PG Florist all are losing customers and Moe Ammar says “This is the best thing that’s happened since I’ve been here, period!”.
The main intersection of downtown Pacific Grove, Forest and Lighthouse, is blocked because of a safety and beautification project and will be closed until April 8, causing significant business losses for even very popular stores near the intersection as shoppers avoid the area because they’re worried they won’t be able to get through or find a place to park.
My question is how will this bit of concrete mix with the five different sidewalk styles that exist at the intersection?
You have exposed aggregate
There’s a diamond pattern (my personal favorite)
A five squares from store to curb pattern
Another side has three squares from store to curb.
And a real brick veneer

Two Caught Stealing From Church
How low can one go?
A neighbor told police she saw a woman enter the church at 148 8th St. at 3:40 p.m. and walk out with miscellaneous items, police said. The woman got into a car with a man at the wheel, and they drove down Lighthouse Avenue toward Monterey.
The car was stopped by Monterey police near Del Monte and Figueroa avenues, police said. Food taken from the church were found in the car, police said.
Arrested were Jessica Galloway, 22, on suspicion of burglary and David Ballard, 24, charged with violating a restraining order to stay away from Galloway, police said.
