A Thief Is Having A Field Day In P.G.

Moe! What? It’s not the greatest thing to happen in P.G?Burglar

“It’s exceptionally rare,” said Chamber of Commerce president Moe Ammar. “In my 24 years in Pacific Grove I think it happens maybe once a year maybe.”

The break-ins started October 23, when the offices of Saint Angela church were burglarized.

The next day, Hopkins Marine lab was targeted, and two days after that, the youth center was broken into.

Police said several personal laptops were stolen from the marine lab and church, and an Xbox game system and a girl’s backpack were taken from the youth center.

Police Cmdr. Rory Lakind said it appears the burglar got into the Pacific Grove Youth Center through an open window. He said Pacific Grove doesn’t typically have many nonresidential burglaries. With the youth center break-in following burglaries in the same week at nearby Hopkins Marine Station and St. Angela Merici church, police are investigating if the three crimes are related.

Established in 1937, CEF aims to teach kids about the bible through ministries, clubs, conferences and sometimes even seminars, according to its website.

South Florida’s Plan For Traffic “Make Them Suffer”

Corner bumps, roundabouts, lane shrinkage, It’s all a part of the substainable plan. Good lick Florida!

Lighthouse Ave Traffic

Instead of fixing the problem, government officials are deliberately adding to it in hopes we’ll all walk, ride the bus or take the train.

Some cities are deliberately reducing the number of lanes on major roads to make room for bike lanes and wider sidewalks, while cramming more cars into a smaller space.

The growing congestion in part led Broward and Palm Beach counties to ask voters to approve a penny sales tax increase in the November election. A portion of the tax would be dedicated to mass transit and other ways of getting around.

It’s a gamble. Will people ride bicycles or walk to work in South Florida’s heat, rain and lightning storms? Or ride buses that often run late and make for long, inconvenient rides?

Get Your Re-Education At The Library

Ahh, from that commie folk singer.

Library Book Drop

The Pacific Grove Public Library has committed to fomenting more culture and ideas by dedicating a room, the Nancy and Steve Hauk Gallery, to precisely that. Last year they did so by weaving events around the ecological writings of Rachel Carson. This year, they’ve continued that commitment with This Land is Our Land.

The title is an invocation of the Woody Guthrie song “This Land is Your Land,” and many of the activities are backdropped by an exhibit of paintings of national parks and monuments.

What To Expect Living Next To MPCC

They just might have a party or two. Been doing it since 1926.

Caddyshack Party

In a letter to the county, 22 neighbors mostly from Wranglers Trail wrote to “express our grave concerns” about the expansion proposal’s terrace additions, which they argued were intended to support an outdoor bar and restaurant that would have an “adverse impact” on the adjacent residential areas from noise, activity, lighting and “other visual intrusiveness,” pointing out that Wrangler Trail bedrooms would be in the line of sight from the terrace bar and restaurant.

The neighbors argued in the letter the new terrace facilities would be able to accommodate 80-100 people and would be the eighth dining and beverage venue at the 90-year-old country club, and called it the “single most intrusive such venue on the adjacent residential neighborhood.”

Monarchs Arriving On Time

“Over the past 20 years, we’ve actually seen a fairly steep decline in monarchs,” said Govea, citing data from the Xerces Society, which tracks numbers nationally. “You used to be able to see them in George Washington Park in P.G. but the last time people saw them there was a decade ago.”

As director of exhibits and education for the museum, Govea is more concerned with his home turf. He said the verdict on whether or not it’s a strong year for monarchs on the Monterey Peninsula is still out. That will remain the case until the weekend after Thanksgiving when the Xerces Society does their big count.

“We won’t know until the end of the season when we have the full count,” said Stong. “It’s impossible to say at this time it’ll be a better than average year. It’s just really cool to be seeing them come back for another year and we hope they continue to fill in.”

Who can afford these apartments? Bet your bustle it’s not the hotel and restaurant workers in New Monterey.

Outzenville Building

Outzen said from the moment he arrived in Monterey, he wanted to see the bustle of combined residential/commercial use and asked, “Why can’t we do that here?”

“The day I bought it I started planning,” said Outzen about his property that will soon be added to the list of Monterey’s other completed mixed-use projects.

If you are Moe Ammar having orgasms with filmmakers and Ben Harvey thinking he is still in southern California. Hope the cops are watching for drunk drivers after the event.

“The city is honored to be hosting the filmmakers dinner as part of the Carmel Film Festival — it’s one of their signature events,” said City Manager Ben Harvey. “This is an expansion of their footprint in P.G. and we’re very pleased about that.”

It was at a Pacific Grove City Council meeting on June 15 that the request to hold the event and to allow alcohol to be served was approved after organizers made the appeal. They also asked if fire pits could be placed on the beach. Pacific Grove’s municipal code prohibits both.
