Remember the doofus that said he was kidnapped when he couldn’t score a drug deal? Same shopping center.

Initially, the man stated he was simply eating when a male juvenile confronted him, punched him in the face and then chased him around the restaurant with a stun gun before running outside and jumping into a white car with North Carolina plates.

“Apparently they were throwing chairs at each other also, so we may end up charging everyone with a crime,” he said, adding that the license plate number, as well as some other witnesses, yielded useful information.”We have identified all the players,” he said.

Klatch Meeting at Black Forest Coffee – in GATEWAY CENTER?
Bull 090705

Well, maybe that does make sense – think about those “regular attendees” to council meetings like Dilworth, the Willoughbys, Alene, Fischer, etc.
Gateway Center

Gateway Center is a “Residential Program serves clients ranging from the moderately functioning to the profoundly disabled, providing 24-hour care and supervision.”

Country Club Gate is where Black Forest Coffee is, along with the best taqueria – Michael s, the best market – Save Mart and the best pizza – Domino’s.

It’s been written here before – the mass of PG leaders does not acknowledge the southernmost part of PG, the forbidden zone that lies beyond that stoplight at Sunset & Forest. It’s all “Grove Market this” and “Art Gallery that” when thinking about P.G. services and businesses.

Fourth Name For CC Gate Supermarket

At midnight today, Albertsons in Pacific Grove, Sand City, Capitola and Salinas on South Main Street will close for conversion. They will reopen at 6 a.m. Wednesday.

Save Mart, which opened its first store in 1952 in Modesto, has 252 stores today, including Food Maxx, Albertsons and S-Mart Foods outlets. So far, it has converted 34 Albertsons to Save Mart stores, most recently in the Sacramento area.

Alpha-Beta, Lucky, Albertsons and now Save Mart.

Was there today – the are getting ready for the rebranding. Lots of SM logos on the walls. The checkers should wear leather aprons.

Since they are closing for 2 days, lots of stuff was on sale – meats in particular. Other stuff was scarce, like breads. Dare I say that the bread aisle looked like Safeway, empty on Sundays.

Hope they don’t lose the Groove in the receipt
Pacific Groove

UPDATE! They lost the Groove. Awww nuts! Not even a ‘Grove’.No Groove Receipt
