The City of Monterey will be enforcing face masks and closing beaches for the Fourth of July weekend.

According to Hans Uslar, city manager, Del Monte, San Carlos and McAbee beaches will be closed on Saturday and Sunday of the upcoming weekend. Ocean activities will still be allowed.

I think it is crap, I mean everyone is sitting at home not doing anything how are you going to celebrate freedom if you guys can’t go anywhere, can’t do anything?” questioned John Feliciano of Modesto.

Covid Cops – Mask Police On Patrol

“Our code enforcement officer has the authority to cite without warning anyone not wearing a face covering in our business areas,” Uslar said. “People and businesses know by now that masks are required and we have to compel compliance to reduce the spread of the virus. Our educational approach has shown success, yet we need to do much better.”

The citations will begin at $100 and become more expensive for subsequent violations. If a person is found in a business not wearing a mask, both the individual and the business will be cited. Uslar said the Monterey County Health Department order provided for a criminal citation and a $1,000 fine. But by making it an administrative citation, fines can be handled within the city of Monterey without having to go through the county District Attorney’s office.

Reds Station Gives Way For $3,000.000 Condos

Condos that end up as second homes, not really adding to the home town,

“We’re going to start the demolition next week.” Silverie’s plans call for creating 10,000 square feet of retail space on the first floor, including two or three restaurants. He said the restaurants are possible because he acquired four water credits from Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links. The second two floors will each have five luxury condominiums ranging from 2,100 to 2,400 square-feet. The builder said one has already been sold for $3.5 million, and the others will be listed in “the mid-to-high $2 million range.” While Silverie plans to sell all 10 condos, his company will manage the retail space.

“As the Covid-19 crisis set in it became clear that we wouldn’t be able to be the Holly’s as you all knew it again, perhaps for a very long time. The safety of my family, my staff, and all of you comes first. We simply weren’t set up for a pandemic, and the difficult choice had to be made.

“I would like to personally thank all of you for your years of patronage and support and above all else, LOVE! The community support for my mother both before and after her death will always mean so much to my family and I, as will the support you all showed as I took the helm. Thank you all so so much from the bottom of my heart.”

Pebble Beach Coyotes Working Asilomar

Like, carry a gun in coyote country.

“I hear this barking and it just sounds like you’re a normal dog. So I looked behind me and I said to you, OK, there’s a dog up there. And I’m like, it’s not really dog, is it?” Lindsey said.

“And next thing I know the coyote is coming from the rocks all the way down down to the beach.”

Duke and Lindsey start walking down the beach while she is still calling for Duke to continue moving forward away from the coyote.

Lindsey said, “We got about 10 yards away and I look over and the coyote is parallel with me, probably about six feet away. And that’s when I realized he wasn’t necessarily after me. But he was stalking Duke.”

Lindsey said this went on for about five minutes and a good distance down Asilomar. She kept an eye over her shoulders until the coyote was out of her sight.

“I watched him all the way down to the other end of the rocks and he actively stood there standing his ground, barking, not even howling, just barking like your average dog,” Lindsey said.

Holly’s Cafe Closed For Good

Sorry, the only picture I have is their messy trash cans from back when business was better. For them and the sea gulls.Dumpster Hollys cafe 071216

“We are closing due to the pandemic,” Amy Hanmer wrote.
“I don’t blame our city or state government. Necessary actions were taken to protect the public, and unfortunately they were too costly for us to remain open.”

Hanmer, who continued selling pies after the restaurant closed in March, said she plans to keep doing so.

Ben Harvey Says Close The Streets Off

So we can eat our $22 noodles out in the street with the seagulls.

“So far, we have identified two businesses that are in favor of the street closure out of 33 businesses in the two blocks,” Ammar said in a letter urging the council to not OK City Manager Ben Harvey’s plan and keep all of Lighthouse open to vehicles Besides being unpopular, Ammar said Harvey’s plan lacked transparency and would eliminate 48 parking spaces. The Monday farmer’s market shuts down Central Avenue, which means drivers trying to get through the area would have to be rerouted to Laurel or Pine avenues.

What Do The Free Dog Sh*T Mitts Cost The Taxpayers?

Posted on by

Can’t get free plastic bags at the store, but cities were giving away plastic bags to pick up dog poop. Carmel has halted the giveaway.

. . the little baggies available from dispensers all over town that dog walkers use to clean up after their pets,cost taxpayers more than $20,000 annually, city administrator Chip Rerig said this week. So, like many other niceties, they are getting cut out of the budget.

That Substainable Living Stuff Is Spreading Virus’

Pack everyone in multiple dwelling units, ride side by side in public transit. Yah don’t breath, folks

The dedicated naysayers and their various acolytes in government and associated lobbying groups have long criticized the typical single-family home, like those found throughout San Mateo County, as a huge waste of space, economic resources, land and other societal requirements.

It’s been the goal of the single-family foes to halt, or severely limit, any further construction of such houses in favor of their preferred option, decidedly unattractive, multi-story, stack-and-pack apartment/condo buildings, many of them monolithic eyesores.

But guess what? The very nature of the single-family home – a stand-alone structure, with front and rear yards, separated from its neighbors (sometimes by fencing) – would tend to allow its residents to self-quarantine in some very laudable and significant degrees of isolation.

Rules Ignored, Beach Closed

Posted on by

Closed in the mid afternoon. Some enforcement, eh?

Right before Easter weekend, City Manager Ben Harvey gave the Pacific Grove Police Department the authority to immediately shut down any outdoor recreational area if too many people showed up and didn’t follow social distancing rules required under Monterey County’s shelter-in-place order. The parks and shore areas remained open.

Two weeks later, on Saturday, April 25, the beautiful sunny weather proved too enticing. Too many people showed up to Lovers Point Beach, at least in the estimation of PGPD. The department shut down the beach about mid-afternoon until further notice citing the lack of social distancing.
