The Pacific Grove Police Department is looking for people who witnessed a graffiti spree Sunday night.
Residents awoke to find the several-block radius between Robert Down Elementary School and the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History covered in graffiti, with taggers hitting 12 different spots over the course of the night.
Problem: depending on the source of the expressive paintwork, arresting anyone or covering up the graffiti might be seen as a racist response to free expression. Watch your backs.

This is not a repeat from 2009
Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine Pacioni announced Friday that David Russell Stamm, 58, of Pacific Grove is charged with allegedly committing lewd acts upon a child under the age of 14 in 1998, 1999 and the summer of 2005.
The Monterey County Sheriff’s Office, the California Highway Patrol, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office arrested Stamm and he is currently in custody at the Monterey County Jail.
The charges are the result of an investigation commenced by the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 2018 by the Washington Field Office, assisted by the Pacific Grove Police Department and the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office.
David Stamm Arrested Again For Lewd Acts With 12 And 13 Year Olds.
A muffin was involved.
A jury found David Michael Burge, 30, a resident of Pacific Grove, guilty of four felony charges, including inflicting corporal injury on a person with whom he had a dating relationship, two counts of assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, and communicating a criminal threat.
On Oct. 5, 2020, Jane Doe and Burge, her ex-boyfriend, were staying at a local inn when he became angry because she refused to warm up a frozen blueberry muffin for him. In response, he smashed the muffin into her face and punched her in the face with a closed fist. When she called her mother after the incident, Burge told her that if she called the police, he would kill her. Her mother overheard this threat. Burge made a second threat that he would get out of jail, come back, and kill her.
Grand Jury roasts the county.
The report criticizes what it calls the county’s decision to “consciously take a passive approach” to enforcement. It argues that approach has resulted in “significant growth” in the numbers of unpermitted vacation rentals while the county takes its time developing rules for the practice, and “increasing public tensions over this uncontrolled growth” as a result. It also suggests lack of enforcement and growth in the numbers will “likely magnify the difficult problems that the county must address when new ordinances are eventually enacted and take effect.”
Taxes From Vacation Rentals Yes! Code Enforcement No So Much

When First Awakenings leaves the ATC and moves up to the old Coco’s Big Boy. Also, they should offer a carry-out that harkens to the past use of the property. It used to be a transfer lot for the garbage trucks and storage for dumpsters. Many of the dumpsters were tagged in spray paint “Rhino Lunch Box”. Would make a great inside joke.
“Contrary to what people may think, we were not pushed out, we chose to move,” said Craig Bell, co-owner of the popular restaurant.
Bell said that both the American Tin Cannery developer Comstock Properties and property owner the Cannery Row Company wanted to keep First Awakenings in its current location at 125 Ocean View Blvd., but “we saw an opportunity and wanted to take it.”
The new location at the well-traversed intersection at Lighthouse and David avenues in Monterey has provided space to create an outdoor dining patio that will be slightly larger than the existing one at their current location.
Of all the Monterey Peninsula cities, Monterey would suffer the greatest inflow of seawater in the event of a tsunami, although the swells would also inundate areas of Pacific Grove, Carmel, Seaside and Pebble Beach.
The changes from the 2009 maps and the ones just released by the California Geological Survey, part of the state Department of Conservation, aren’t dramatically different, but varied enough to add warnings to new areas of the city.
“They have increased the map area by several blocks in the downtown area, to the west and south,” said Nat Rojanasathira, Monterey’s assistant city manager.
For example, the new maps show warning areas coming all the way up to Pacific Street covering more of the Old Monterey area, passing over the top of Fremont Street at Abrego Street, surrounding the Naval Postgraduate School and now reaching all the way to Highway 1 along Camino Aguajito.And in Seaside, the area already susceptible to both sea-level rise and tsunami threats along Laguna del Rey has been expanded into neighboring residential areas by a few blocks.
In Pacific Grove, the new maps cover neighborhoods inland of Ocean View Boulevard all the way up to Surf Avenue and then continuing down along Sunset Avenue. In Pebble Beach, the maps show portions of 17-Mile Drive potentially underwater, including Spanish Bay,
Tsunami Hotline – Seismologists Are Standing By
Carmel Mayor sees something and says something
at around 3:30 a.m. March 18, a security guard at the Monterey Plaza Hotel saw someone smash a glass door at the Mad Dogs & Englishmen bike shop and called police, who soon arrived to discover “someone had broken in and stolen a high-end electric bicycle.”
Having seen their post and photos of the bright red e-bike, former Mayor Steve Dallas was in Seaside shopping for his mother the next morning when he saw a group of men standing around a bike that seemed out of place. “I was getting something for my mom at Smart & Final and came back to the car with some drinks for her, looked up and saw this red bicycle,” he said. He recognized it as the e-bike stolen from Blevins and Watson — who opened their first Peninsula bike shop on Mission Street in Carmel several years ago — so he called Seaside P.D.
PG needs more stuff for transients. Banking for the locals is not making it.

Colleen Haggerty, a senior vice president for the bank, said on Wednesday that during the pandemic, one of the steps Bank of America took was to temporarily close some financial centers to help consolidate resources at nearby locations.
“In this case, the Pacific Grove financial center has been closed for nearly a year, at the onset of the pandemic, with services consolidated to the Monterey financial center less than two miles away on Franklin Street and to our Seaside location less than four miles away,” Haggerty said.
Moe Says:
Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, said the branch has always been engaged with community events in the downtown. And while he said he understood the reason for the closure, he is concerned about the effects on residents, particularly seniors.
Hah! He is really afraid of losing the use of the bank’s parking lot during his Goodish Days.

A 30 year old Pacific Grove man crashed his 2008 Mercedes off 17 Mile Drive onto kelp and rocks on a beach near Cypress Point Saturday afternoon around 1:30 p.m., according to California Highway Patrol public information officer Jessica Madueño. The beach is used by harbor seals for pupping each year, usually beginning in April.
Madueño said the cause of Ryan Todd’s crash remains under investigation but noted he was usinga cell phone at the time,
