Spending more to make more? Please keep Moe away from the project. He’s not been doing a very good job lately.
The Pacific Grove City Council will consider Tuesday a new marketing plan for the city’s golf course in an effort to generate more revenue.
New marketing would include a revamped website, ad campaigns in other cities, and partnerships with local hotels. For regular players, the golf course doesn’t need much help.
While library hours dwindle.
I wonder what the approval % would be like if there was a vote to spend revenues on attracting tourists.
Pacific Grove has an identity crisis, city leaders say. Butterfly Town USA, America’s Last Hometown and other catch phrases have left P.G. with an amorphous identity that fails even to hint at the city’s greatest attraction: its stunning coastline.
The city also has a calendar of quirky civic celebrations such as the Feast of Lanterns and the Good Old Days that make it a hard place to pin down. And that’s made it difficult to market Pacific Grove to tourists, the city contends. A recent study even suggested visitors are not aware of Pacific Grove and the attractions it offers.
Anyway – the best slogan is the truth – “Pacific Grove, For The Newly Wed & The Nearly Dead”
There have been a lot of people looking not necessarily shopping, there have been some days that’s very quite and I’m assuming that they are at the malls.
Bigger stores, bigger sales, and bigger holes in downtown Pacific Grove shops and for Dianne Lovejoy who owns two consignment shops, she’s had to do more to bring people in.
“It has made it necessary to have big sales even though this is a resale store and you are starting out at a quarter or a third less of original retail was were still having to have 50% off sales to get the people in the door,” said Lovejoy.
Who wants used clothes for Xmas? Ick.
Bennett, Garcia, Huitt – yay. The rest of the elected officials, tar & feathers.
Kampe thinks the new agreement on the marketing feasibility study will spell out the specifics of Agha’s proposal and allow both parties to move forward. “We need some way to fundamentally break an impasse in terms of action on the site,” he says.
But the vote was a tight 4-3. Councilwoman Lisa Bennett, who joined Mayor Carmelita Garcia and Councilman Robert Huitt in opposition, says the agreement is premature.
While the city’s tentative support encouraged Agha to take the building off the market, he’s disappointed the agreement didn’t get unanimous backing. “Anyone who has the best interests of Pacific Grove in mind will go out of his way to support any healthy project,” he says. “Economically, this project is going to be the best thing ever to happen to Pacific Grove.”
He really means the best thing ever to happen to Nader Agha.
DUI, Underage drinking, property damage, hit and run, injury to others, yes – This stupid kid should NEVER be allowed behind the wheel for the rest of his life. Barely legal age and starting out with a bang.
The CHP said the crash occurred about 2:50 a.m. when Yant, for unknown reasons, drove a 2009 Hyundai Sonata off a small cliff, coming to rest on the rocks at the water line. . .
The driver, 18-year-old Richard Yant IV, was found at Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula about an hour later. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, officials said.
“Officers had enough indicators, when they contacted them, to see signs of him being impaired,” CHP Officer Robert Lehman said.
Lehman said Yant’s father had taken him for treatment for a small cut to his hand.
Quote from August 21, in an interview with the Weakly:
“I tried becoming an alcoholic,” he said jokingly, “but it didn’t work.”
Is this the same Colon-Jello that used to be the P.G. City Manager?
Police have arrested 20 year-old Gregory Telles for attempted sexual assault, burglary, and assault with a deadly weapon.

Please, never let this inconsiderate druggie behind the wheel again.

Deborah King will stand trial in the death of Joel Woods, who died after he was struck by King’s SUV as he picked up his son at Pacific Grove Middle School.
Toxicology reports described at the hearing showed that King, 52, had traces of eight different drugs in her system at the time of the accident on Sept. 2, 2008.
She had prescriptions for seven of them, and most were at “therapeutic levels.” The other drug was a small quantity of THC, a chemical found in marijuana, which could have entered her system weeks earlier.
Officer John Purdam, the first to respond to the accident, said he was told by a witness that King nearly rear-ended her at the Highway 1 exit onto Monterey-Salinas Highway moments before she crashed into Woods’ truck, which was parked at the curb outside the school at 835 Forest Ave.
A second witness told Purdam that she saw King’s vehicle drifting out of its lane and weaving through traffic as it approached the school.
Tax the realtors – I like it.
The council unanimously voted to approve an ordinance reversing the ban on short-term rentals, which the city hopes will generate at least $200,000 in revenue each year.
The new ordinance requires landlords to obtain a license from the city and pay a 10 percent transient occupancy tax in order to rent out their units for less than 30 days at a time. The ordinance puts homeowners in line with the city’s hotels and inns.
“The revenue generated from the license fees and [transient occupancy tax] will help pay for a code enforcement officer,” Pacific Grove city manager Tom Frutchey said.
