Salinas resident Marcus Swingle, 29, was climbing out of the window of the Forest Hill Ace Hardware located at 1136 Forest Ave. in the Fairway Shopping Center at around 4 a.m. The officers were there to greet him.
Officers credited an observant citizen who had noticed someone who appeared to be breaking into the store. The citizen subsequently notified the police, providing them with a run-down of what the suspect was doing.
City Building Official John Kuehl who issued a notice and order to vacate and demolish the building located at 301 Grand Avenue because it was deemed “unfit for human occupancy.” Kuehl gave the tenants until the end of January to move out of the structure, which is listed on the city’s Historic Resources Inventory.
Specifically, the notice addressed to the building’s owner Manal Mansour noted that the building’s exterior surfaces have decayed to a point of allowing water to enter the building and that its structural members aren’t properly maintained and are in a deteriorated condition.
The two-story structure was a mixed use building that had primarily commercial and office uses on the ground floor and three apartments on the second floor, according to Mark Brodeur, the city’s community and economic development director. But Brodeur said the owner had future plans to build out the second floor because in its current capacity it wasn’t a full two-story building.
In a suit filed Dec. 28, 2017, Timothy Cleveland alleges that when he visited the Cannery Row Brewing Company on Dec. 30, 2015, and tried to use the downstairs restrooms, he was told the elevator was out of service. “He was informed the nearest accessible restrooms were in a parking structure that would have required him to navigate outside the restaurant and encounter steep slopes,”

Newcomer to P.G. thinks shoppers will park far from town to spend money, therefore LET store merchants take up all the 2 hour spaces all day.
I have lived in Pacific Grove for 18 years. In that period of time I have observed our parking meter police ticketing vehicles belonging to our local PG merchants and their employees. These people must interrupt whatever they are doing every two or three hours to move their cars from one spot to another. This is usually a few feet from where they were. How foolish is this?

Mark C. Klein needs TWO parking spaces for his Cadillac.
Mark C. Klein of Pacific Grove stands next to his 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville. Klein bought the car from an estate in Illinois. It had 3,900 original miles on it.
Smarter resident sets it straight.
The last time I worked in any city including Pacific Grove I was told that downtown parking was for customers and employees had to park elsewhere and walk to work. In Pacific Grove you can park on off streets and Pine Avenue with no time restrictions. Mr. Klein’s way of thinking is let’s make customers drive around looking for parking while businesses stay empty — no wonder Pacific Grove is losing money.

And take the uncaring elected officials with them.
A group of Pacific Grove residents have introduced a proposed initiative measure that would prohibit short-term rentals in the city’s residential zones.
They included the intent to prohibit short-term rentals in most residential neighborhoods, city’s efforts to regulate short-term rentals as unsuccessful and insufficient to curb the negative impacts of such rentals, and to ensure that Pacific Grove has adequate housing for city residents to remain the “city of homes” as provided in the City’s Charter, General Plan and Municipal Code. It also recognized that the city may continue to regulate short-term rentals in the Coastal Zone as long as those regulations protect the community and are consistent with laws administered by the California Coastal Commission. Lastly, it proposed prohibiting short-term rentals in designated residential districts without changing existing rules that permit home-sharing.
At Wharf 2, officers spotted Jonathan Marvel Garate with several other people near a vehicle and approached them. They reportedly found Garate with a handgun that had been reported stolen out of Pacific Grove in November.

Farmers selling very expensive produce decide to pack up and go back to Salinas.
Opened four years ago in the former train depot by Tanimura & Antle, the property was originally developed as a food hall to be stocked with the “Bounty of the County” as it was described – locally grown and produced products. But since that time it has become more popular as a cafe/eatery.
Antle also said it was time for the business to focus its efforts on opportunities in its Spreckels-based division.
