Haute Dame moved from the small space at Grand & Laurel and expanded, then suddenly vanished without the usual 3 month long going out of business sale.

New Pet Extreme Store Coming To Country Club Gate
Also planning on occupying the soon to be out of business beauty supply store.
This is shaping up to be an uphill battle – howls are coming from a few that think a full service discount pet store will hurt businesses that have been here forever. In a town where dogs have more rights than the handicapped multiple pet stores can thrive. Of course those stores that have physically been here for a long time but do not resemble their former selves may need to polish up a bit.
I myself usually shop for Pup-r-oni and Science Diet at Pet Smart. Once there I might as well go to the Save Mart that is next door. And stop at OSH or Target. See where I’m going here? My tax revenues might stay in P.G. if I had no reason to go to Sand City in the first place.
Check the store’s site www.petextreme.com, they list prices and post weekly ads. Can’t say that about the local stores that are very unwired.
Replace Deb ‘Bankrupt’ Lindsay
To fill Lindsay’s seat, Frutchey suggested the council follow the procedure used to choose Huitt and Cuneo from among 15 candidates who applied: Allow them to make short presentations about their interest and qualifications at the June 2 meeting, and respond to questions posed by the council. The order of presentation would be determined by lot.
The coin toss comes to mind, since the town cannot elect people with any kind of allegiance.
This Week In “What The Heck Is Moe Ammar Talking About?
Moammar says there are rooms available, but fails to mention that they come with 7 day minimums or outrageous prices.
There are hotel rooms available on the Peninsula for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June, but not everyone is getting the message, believes Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce.
Ammar said he’s hearing people say hotels are booked for the Open.
“It really is the wrong perception,” he said.
Weirdo Arrested For Harassing Calls
Once lived in Pacific Grove and worked in a hotel. Creepy looking, eh? The news seems to be picking up on Pacific Grove nut cases. Could it be the start of election season?
Monterey police said Daniel Christopher Leonard, 32, was arrested by police April 27 in Olympia, Wash. Police are seeking his return to Monterey County to face charges for stalking, making annoying phone calls and possibly making terrorist threats, said Monterey Deputy Chief Phil Penko.
Police say Leonard used a voice-altering device to mask his identity and a caller ID “spoofing” service to make phone calls that were so traumatizing to some people it caused them to quit their jobs, to stop answering their phone and to fear they would be harmed.
“It was pretty vulgar, threatening and sexual innuendo,” Penko said.
Deborah Lindsay Quits City Council
Sustainability kook, bankrupt, quitter. The new generation of elected officials in P.G. continues to disappoint.
Lindsay, who was elected to the council in November 2008, said she is leaving due to family issues.
She served as the council’s representative to the Transportation Agency for Monterey County, on the Pacific Grove Natural History Museum board, and chaired the city’s Ad Hoc Water Alternative Subcommittee.
Pacific Grove Man Sends Threats & Powder With Parking Ticket Fee
Nuts!
William Poolman of Pacific Grove has been charged with one felony count of mailing a false weapon of mass destruction causing fear. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.
The Department of State Parks and Recreation cited Poolman in February for failing to pay for parking at Carpinteria State Park.
Poolman unsuccessfully appealed the citation. He sent his payment to a parking citation collection agency in Orange County and included a gram of a white substance that turned out not to be hazardous.
Authorities say he also wrote threatening messages in the letter.
City Bends Over To Political Correctness
Suspicious that this is the reason that the traditional campy Feast Of Lanterns is now held indoors to ticket holders?
Low-Sabado hasn’t forgotten that history, but the city has done little to recognize it. P.G.’s annual Feast of Lanterns replicates Chinese squid-boat lights and adopts a generic Asian theme, but doesn’t acknowledge the Point Alones village – an omission that was the focus of a recent Stanford dissertation.
Low-Sabado takes particular offense to the event’s annual play about a fictional Chinese princess, in which the audience boos the mandarin. (This year’s celebration will be scaled back; organizers cite budgetary reasons.)

Farmers Market Move In Hands Of City Council
We may see who’s is most influenced by business owners – will they make the market move to Central ave or the parking lot by Fandango?
The board of Everyone’s Harvest voted Sunday to move the Pacific Grove market off Lighthouse Avenue if the Pacific Grove City Council requests it.
Everyone’s Harvest executive director Iris Peppard said the board agreed to either keep the market at its current location on Lighthouse or move it to Central and Grand avenues near the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History, Public Library and Chamber of Commerce office.
New Game: What Is Moe Ammar Talking About?
“We need it in this economy so many unemployed people and with all the depression. People need the financial help and this is a great way to generate that,” said Ammar.
Answer: Allowing Pacific Grove houses be rented at up to $10,000 a week for the U.S. Open. Is he talking about owners of homes that are good enough to net 10Gs? Or the servants in those homes? All the depression . . .
