We want to get you all caught up on a small brewery coming to Pacific Grove. About 3 years ago we started the process to open a small brewery on Lighthouse in Pacific Grove. We had an enormous amount of community support and we were so grateful to see that we had a good backing to get us through the permitting and We purchased the old Laundromat on Lighthouse Ave and that is where we learned that opening a small brewery in a historical area is not such a simple process. Fast forward 3 years and construction has begun on Hops and Fog Brewing formerly

First cancel the Feast Of Lanterns over made up history, then plant a pagoda honoring those lost their rickety shoreline encampment in the park named for the wonderful person that was the creator of the Feast as we knew it. Bleah!
MBCA leaders first requested a joint project with the city along Monterey Bay near the village site, but it didn’t make it into the budget. MBCA leaders came back asking to locate the pavilion in a city park financed by their own fundraising. Working with city staff and the P.G. Recreation Board, Elmarie Dyke Park next to Chautauqua Hall was chosen. A moon wall at the entrance to the park was added to the proposal. The estimated cost of construction for both is $120,000-$150,000.

In a resignation letter in 2022, Hunter cited “aggressive questioning” as a reason for her departure.
Tough questioning is one thing. Workplace bullying is another. And Coletti seems intent on continuing to cross that line.

The headless bodies began turning up in 2016, and Grimes wasn’t able to pin down what was behind them. She suspected it might be coyotes, as she had found tracks in the area — but coyotes were not known to go after live marine mammals.
All hush hush, why?
Pacific Grove Police have not publicly addressed the decision by prosecutors not to charge the two women. But the police department has not said it’s looking for anybody else in the case.
The PGPD, which has been even more secretive than usual, has also refused to tell the public what happened during the incident, why they believe it amounted to attempted murder and how the women were involved.
