Remembrance Of P.G.’s Chinatown
And the Moe just forced a Chinese restaurant out of it’s prized location . . .
A walk through the site of Pacific Grove’s Chinese fishing village will mark the 105th anniversary of the fire that destroyed it and ended 50 years of Chinese culture and history on the Peninsula.
The village, where Hopkins Marine Station now stands, burned to the ground on May 16, 1906. It was the largest Chinese community on the California coast, and its inhabitants pioneered Monterey Bay’s commercial fishing industry.
The boulders along the shoreline at Hopkins still bear scorch marks from the fire. Its origin remains a mystery, but the behavior of Pacific Grove’s white residents, during and after the fire, has been a lingering source of embarrassment for the city.
Alan Cohen Gets Job At Golf Clubhouse
That’s why the Colossus Of Gold had Cohen with the “Eat At The Other Lighthouse Cafe” sign..
On March 23, councilman Alan Cohen and his colleagues voted 5-2 in favor of allowing Aqua Terra Culinary to take over the lease at the Point Pinos Grill, the eatery at the city’s municipal golf links at 77 Asilomar Blvd.
But questions about a possible conflict of interest were raised by several P.G. residents when Cohen was hired by Aqua Terra to cook at the grill for two days last week.
Tom Frutchey Throws Former Planners Under Bus
Ever have an application rejected only to see a similar one breeze through?
In the April 15 email, Tom Frutchey painted a picture of a former planning department in complete disarray. Frutchey, among other things, claimed planners carelessly signed off on projects — and said that’s why it took less time to process applications and issue permits than it does now.
“Yes, things were much better in the old days, in large part, because staff didn’t folow the law,” Frutchey wrote. “Staff repeatedly approved projects after only partial or faulty analysis and otherwise sidestepped local and state requirements.”
Slats Restaurant Progress
Tired of calling it the old Old Bath House.
Enea plans to remodel the existing 6,000-square-foot building to add 575 square feet of indoor dining and a 500-square-foot deck. He would gut the ground floor to make it available for rental to other businesses and would make it compliant with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act.
The restaurant operator, he said, would pay for furnishing, equipping and decorating the restaurant area.
Restaurant operations would begin at 4 p.m., seven days a week, pending Coastal Commission approval and amendment of the restaurant use permit.
Enea is in negotiations with restaurateur Jim Gilbert, operator of several restaurants in Monterey, Santa Cruz and Salinas, including Abalonetti at Fisherman’s Wharf.

Ugly Tourist Information Sign Is Non Compliant?
Even if you do get a permit, you don’t have to abide by the conditions? Can’t wait before the corner looks like a San Jose used car lot with banners, flags, whirygigs and stuff.
“While the sign is ugly,” Ammar concedes, “it does attract people.”The sign isn’t too far off the shape of the old China Garden sign, except it’s not arched like the old one. And it isn’t the marker the city originally OK’d.
“It is not the sign that was approved through the zoning process,” Frutchey said.
King Defense – Taking Prescribed Medications Is Not “Intoxicating”
Grisly picture of Deborah King’s BMW in the Pine Cone.
Despite her public defender’s efforts to get her declared incompetent and institutionalized instead of being sent to prison, Deborah King — found guilty by a jury in February of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the 2008 death of Pacific Grove resident Joel Woods — received a prison sentence of 15 years to life from Monterey County Superior Court Judge Russell Scott last week.
