On July 22, 2025, Monterey Police Officers were dispatched to the 800 block of Cannery Row regarding a report of a male who had engaged in suspicious behavior but was no longer in the area. The male was reported to have followed
a young adult female inside of a business and pressed up against her. In two other separate incidents the male was reported holding a cell phone with his hands lowered while standing close to females wearing skirts. It appeared the male was pressing up close to the females in an effort to photograph up their skirts.

One of the victims reported the incident to a security guard who attempted to detain the male. Initially the male  stopped and provided a name, but the male then fled the area on foot and was not located. The name provided by the male was determined to be a false name.

MPD Officers identified Jordan Pollacci, 35 years old of Monterey, as a suspect in this case. Officers noted Pollacci matched the description of the suspect in the surveillance camera videos. Pollacci’s vehicle was also captured on Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) cameras both arriving and leaving around the same time as the suspect

Pollacci has prior convictions for 647(j)(2) PC — invasion of privacy, and 311.11 (a) PC — possession of obscene material after he was arrested in Monterey County for taking photos up a woman’s dress in 2014. In 2022, Pollacci was arrested by Newport Beach police for taking photos of a female inside a store changing room

Pollacci is required to register as a sex offender as a result of his convictions- MPD  Officers attempted to contact Pollacci at his registered address, but he was not located.
On August 5, 2025, MPD Officers served a search warrant and arrest warrant at a residence on El Caminito Del Norte, Monterey, and placed Pollacci under arrest.

P.G. Style Remodel On Cannery Row Questioned

Posted on by

One person’s “repair and maintenance” is another’s teardown and replace.

Since 2018, a developer has been seeking permission to renovate a rundown concrete building at 300 Cannery Row to build eight condominiums and retail and commercial space. While the City of Monterey approved a permit for the project, staffers at the California Coastal Commission recommended that the 12-member commission deny applicant The 300 LLC a development permit.

Tourists Come To See The Seals

Scuba divers, not so much. Imagine the smell.

Seals Getting Massages

 

An invasion of sea lions at San Carlos beach in Monterey forced city leaders to close the beach Monday to all users, indefinitely.

“This is one of my favorite beaches to hang out on, on the lunch break, so I can’t go there because it’s partitioned off, but yeah, I love it,” said Teresa Jones, of Pacific Grove.

Barricades have been put up, preventing beachgoers from accessing the beach. The area is also a popular spot for scuba divers and diving lessons; the sea lions force them out as well.

“So there’s actually a really great, another beach just about a mile down the road called McAbee Beach, and so we’re just sending divers over there, and they’re perfectly happy to just go a little bit extra to get in the water still,” said Megan Patton, of Monterey Bay Scuba.

Shoreline docents who regularly monitor sea life say the sea lions started arriving last week, about 20 of them, but by Sunday night, there were hundreds of them.

Overflow Of Otters Occupy The Row

I used to meet a coworker after work at Casa Maria, me snagging free appetizers while my friend tried meeting starving schoolteachers that would be there for the free appetizers too. While overhearing tourists commenting on otters they would see, we started a tale about the mechanical otters that rolled on an underwater rail, placed there to attract tourists. Sometimes seeing kayakers and divers out on the kelp we would add them to the ruse, saying they were maintaining the mechanical otters. We would hear the tourists telling each other “did you hear that? the otters are not real”

“We began seeing larger than typical rafts in mid-January,” Jess Fujii, manager of the Monterey Bay Aquarium ‘s sea otter program told, The Pine Cone this week. “The numbers have varied. But we estimate 100 to 250 otters have been resting along Cannery Row over the last few weeks. “

Do the fish get lonely with no crowds looking at them through the glass cells?

“Unfortunately, we had to make the tough call to cancel it this year,” said Monterey Bay Aquarium Chief Operating Officer Cynthia Vernon in an email. “Ongoing effects of the extended closure such as staffing considerations, significant revenue loss, and the timed reservation system are among the challenges that led us to the decision.”

The Community Open House is the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s annual event for residents in Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz counties to come and enjoy the aquarium free of charge throughout a week in December. The Community Open House is made possible in part by the support of its business partners and contributions.

According to the aquarium’s financial information, it lost about $43 million in revenue and support in the year ending Dec. 31, 2020. Admissions alone decreased 85% during that time, though its contributions and grants increased about 19%.

In August 2008, the coastal commission approved an initial permit for the plan, and while that permit was extended several times, Ruby Falls, which bought the property in 2017 and is run by Robert Faulis, asked the commission to allow another extension until Aug. 7, 2020. But at the coastal commission’s Nov. 13 meeting in Half Moon Bay, the panel decided to bring the permit to a halt over what its staff said were concerns about water supply and sea level rise

Ed Ciliberti purchased the caboose in April 2018 with plans to redo it and open it as a gift shop and a display for railroad memorabilia. To get ready for it to open, Ciliberti had the railcar’s roof replaced and fumigation done. He also obtained a lease from the City of Monterey so he could keep the 45-foot-long car on Cannery Row. “It will be open in January with railroad memorabilia for sale and a museum highlighting the history of the railcar,” including before it was converted to a caboose in the 1940s and came to Cannery Row in 1968,
