Moe Ammar Pimps Your Business For $600 A Month

Rent A Moe

The idea came from chamber chairman Henry Nigos of Nigos Investments, who heard about the I Wear Your Shirt company from friends in Los Angeles.

Nigos said Ammar is the perfect candidate to be a walking billboard because he’s so visible.

All the money from Rent-A-Moe will go to the chamber. The prices are $500 a month from January through May, $600 from June through October and $450 in November and December, plus cost of shirts or jackets. He will promote the business and answer questions from people he meets.

If this is so great, can we the taxpayers stop funding the Chamber and let it be self funded?

What will Moe turn it into and call it then? Stilwell’s Art Sale In The Park?

Caledonia Snow In Park

Stilwell’s Snow in the Park at Caledonia Park on Saturday will be the last such event with snow, said Chamber of Commerce president Mo Ammar.

“We will continue the event in the future,” he said, “but there will be no snow.”

Not Supporting Feast Of Lanterns, Moe Rewrites History

Ammar & his chamber recreates another “Good Old Days” event at the beach one week after the real Chautauqua celebration of music & food should have been there (but is not this year..). It’s nothing by a money grabbing fleece the tourists from Fresno plot, not a community summer get together. What an insult.

“It’s a splendid celebration of Pacific Grove’s turn-of-the-century band festivals that livened the entire town,” he said. “The chamber is reviving the party that was first held in 1879 by the California Branch of the Chautauqua Circle.”

In those days, he said, the Chautauqua Circle celebrated with music, food and entertainment at Lovers Point.

U.S. Open Looks To Have Been A Success For P.G.

Posted on by

Moe missed it with his gloomy outlook back on June 13.

Still, I saw bigger crowds on Memorial Day.

At Lattitudes restaurant in Pacific Grove, “We had our best week in history,” said owner Tene Shake. People walked to the restaurant from nearby hotels, some with reservations, some not.

Unlike 2000, the tournament went into the early evening this year to accommodate an East Coast prime time TV audience. That meant diners were coming in later, Shake said; even at 11:30 p.m., Lattitudes was still half-full.

The fact that busing to Pebble Beach was provided by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce was a key factor, Shake said.

Moe Predicts A Bad US Open Windfall

Moe blathers from his butt about this month’s “greatest thin that could happen”. Pacific Grove could have more revenues if they’d bring in what people want when they are visiting.

Moe Ammar believes the U.S. Open will be “the greatest thing that could happen” to the local economy.

But Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce, is the first to admit that this year’s U.S. Open won’t be as lucrative as 2000, the last time the tournament came to Pebble Beach.

While many hotel rooms on the Peninsula were reserved long ago for U.S. Open week, there are rooms to be had with tournament play just four days away.

Ammar’s survey last week showed Pacific Grove’s 28 hotels and motels are 81 percent booked for the U.S. Open — down from 96 percent a week before the 2000 tournament.

Article from KSBW about cities preparing for the rush of U.S. Open tourists.

In Pacific Grove, Moe Ammar said that businesses will stay open longer because of the U.S. Open.

“Typically, a lot of the stores in Pacific Grove would close at 5 to 5:30 p.m.,” Ammar said. “For the Open, they will stay open until 9 p.m., which is really great.”

Speak for yourself you clueless fool. Maybe the wine galleries, second hand clothing and rusty garden decor shops close at 5, but there is more to P.G. than them.

Moe’s Bike Race Closes Street, Attracts Few

Street was shut down all day. Aside from the bicycle riders, I’ve seen more people at a foggy farmers’ market.

Perfect weather, an easy viewing venue and upward of 300 racing entries still didn’t make the 2010 Pacific Grove Butterfly Criterium a big draw for spectators.

The race, sponsored by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce with the cooperation of the city, was organized by Central Coast cycling clubs Ghost Tree Racing and VOS Racing.

Moammar says there are rooms available, but fails to mention that they come with 7 day minimums or outrageous prices.

There are hotel rooms available on the Peninsula for the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in June, but not everyone is getting the message, believes Moe Ammar, president of the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce.

Ammar said he’s hearing people say hotels are booked for the Open.

“It really is the wrong perception,” he said.

“We need it in this economy so many unemployed people and with all the depression. People need the financial help and this is a great way to generate that,” said Ammar.

Answer: Allowing Pacific Grove houses be rented at up to $10,000 a week for the U.S. Open. Is he talking about owners of homes that are good enough to net 10Gs? Or the servants in those homes? All the depression . . .

Good Old Rainy Days

Moe, what happened to the Benz?

Chamber of Commerce president Moe Ammar, mounted in an electric car, rallied his troops under lowering clouds and the threat of high winds and rain that had already driven away a block’s worth of craft vendors’ booths on Lighthouse Avenue.

Most craft vendors reacted to a memo sent by Ammar Saturday that the county Office of Emergency Services predicted heavy rains and winds of 40 mph to 50 mph beginning at 5a.m. Sunday by folding their tents and stealing away in the night.

By 10 a.m., no storm had materialized.

God Rained Out

By noon, it was pouring.
