Silence the infidels that’s the way, become the the imperial commander Dan Cort wants to be..
In April, the City Council tabled a vote on a change in policy that would . . . require those who wanted to address the council to fill out speaker cards. Mayor Dan Cort said the council is seeking to streamline its meeting discussions.
Less than 72 hours old may be surrendered at firehouses. Next year will they might start taking those over 72 years old as part of the Sustainable movement?
Pacific Grove is set to pass the resolution Wednesday night. Monterey signed off on it a few weeks ago. Once approved, all city firehouses will be designated as safe surrender sites.
State law says that no person will be prosecuted if they voluntarily drop off a newborn less than 72 hours after birth. Monterey Fire Chief Sam Mazza said firehouses offer a safe place with staff on duty 24 hours a day.
The Butterfly Criterium returned to Pacific Grove after a 30-year absence. It featured 11 separate races of about 45 minutes.
Hundreds of spectators turned out to watch 250 cyclists compete for a purse of $4,000 cash and a $6,000 worth of prizes.
Pacific Grove Mayor Dan Cort said he understands that shutting down main streets to automobile traffic makes some business owners uncomfortable. But he said he doesn’t think catering only to car-reliant shoppers will contribute to the future vibrancy of the city.
Mayor Cort and his socialist sustainable agenda still wants us all to get rid of our cars. And live in yurts.
Pictures taken at about 1 O’clock. There was hardly any people except participants and vendors. Must have been 1 city worker per 20 people on the street. I call this a bust. Bring back the car shows.
Vibrant? No signs of vibrancy here. The start finish line.
Vibrant empty sidewalks
A Monarch Caterpillar could safely cross the street.
So says the barricades.
Racers will compete for a purse totaling $4,000 during nine separate hour-long races, starting at 7:30 a.m. Riders will race on a circular 0.7-mile course starting on Lighthouse Avenue, rounding the corner down Congress Avenue to Central Avenue and up Fountain Avenue back to Lighthouse.
The race is sanctioned by USA Cycling and sponsored by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce and AT&T, in cooperation with the city of Pacific Grove.
Really, is this an advisement or advertisement? These barricades have been scattered all over downtown since Friday, and closing the street on a Sunday is hardly impacting. You could hold this event without closing the streets.
How charming. Out of town “Community Activist” groups swoop in and provide an on-the-surface admirable service of removing those toxic electronics that just threaten to destroy the environment. Makes your legs tingle with substainable joy, don’t it?
I call BS. How do we know they are not offloading the waste to countries like Communist China that salvage anything valuable and leave the rest to rot in piles (click the headline credit for the 60 Minutes story)?
Buy a TV lately (come on admit it)? There was a “disposal fee” tacked on. This hidden tax goes to pay for safe disposal of older electronics and groups like the Humunya Foundation get reimbursed for what they collect. Kind of like giving your aluminum cans to the street people to cash in.
Please keep it local if you can. I recommend taking your e-waste to the Marina dump – err Environmental Park where the taxes are used for local jobs – not some out of town activist group..
While Pacific Grove lays claim to many family-friendly events – the Butterfly Parade, Good Old Days and Feast of Lanterns – when the sun goes down and the grown-ups want to make merry, P.G. is reliably an early-to-bedder.
But on special Friday nights, the tide turns in the town’s favor during the aptly named Wine, Art & Music Walk.
Oh, look! There are FOUR more galleries just up the street, right?
Lessee, there’s Trott’s for one
The gallery with “Ol’ One Eye” for two, but it’s not even open..
The one with the scarves and balloons for Three
And that’s it. There is one former gallery or two. I lose count of ex galleries. Stupid artists, go back to Carmel..
Just when you thought Nader Agha would take his phony antiques, coins and sell the Holman Building he comes back again with another hotel pitch.
Armed with architects’ drawings of concepts for the property, Agha said he has reconsidered his idea of abandoning the project in the face of overwhelming support expressed to him for the project.
In December, Agha listed the 84-year-old, 120,000-square-foot Holman Building and the 1.35-acre lot it sits on, as well as four other lots on Fountain Avenue being used for parking and a building across the street at 549 Lighthouse Ave., on the real estate market.
At the time he said he was fed up with nearly 14 years of delays in his attempt to build a luxury hotel on the site.
Hundreds more showerheads, flushing toilets, traffic and tourists.
“The deer are becoming move aggressive with people and dogs,” said Elizabeth Conti-Yeo, P.G. animal control officer.“Because it’s the fawning season, they perceive dogs as a threat or a predator.”
“We suggest people carry a walking stick to fan in front of them to keep the deer back, but not necessarily hit them,” she said.
I’d carry a 30.06, but that would get you tossed in jail.
Hmm, they never did call me back…
Pacific Grove’s list of city manager prospects has been whittled down from an unwieldy pool of 112 to just a handful which may include a current city employee.
The new city manager will have to tackle the city’s dire financial problems, making Becklenberg or someone else with a financial background a good choice for the post.
