Four recently planted apple trees at Robert Down Elementary School — which parents planted two weeks ago during a school cleanup day without prior approval — will be allowed to stay, the Pacific Grove Unified School District board decided.

Agha Declares Holman Building All Used Up, Gets OK From Council
Owner of the dilapidated old red house by the post office once said the same thing. Wish I could drill my own well and not pay Cal Am. What about the sewer system, has that been addressed?

The structure Agha is proposing, they said, would provide 250 to 420 rooms, a restaurant and conference center, a basement parking garage, and a multi-story parking garage in the lot behind the Lighthouse Cinema movie theater on Lighthouse Avenue.
