Pollacci Attorney Asks For Change Of Venue
Jumping in during some time off to bring this update and show the sign mockups mentioned in the media
Wouden said a Google search of Pollacci’s name turned up 13,000 hits. From March 2009 to February 2011, the three local television stations ran 224 stories on Pollacci’s charges. Five local newspapers, including The Herald, ran 174 articles, one of which quoted a judge saying Pollacci is a predator with a “long-lasting and enduring” reputation as a rapist in the community.
Wouden noted that many websites allow the public to post comments about news stories and www.lighthouseavenue.com ran photos that appeared to depict parking signs in front of Ron’s Liquors stating “Parking Only for Rape Victims” and “Parking Only for Registered Sex Offenders.”
Constant Readers of lighthouseavenue.com should know the Admin’s non news peeves. Open dumpsters is one, another is sidewalk blocking signs. It was there that the sign photos began. On March 12, 2009 this claim that public parking was reserved exclusively for Ron’s Liquor was posted:
Then on March 13, 2009 when the media revealed that Tom Pollacci was a registered sex offender I took the “Liquor Store Only” picture and made this. This website was the first to question “would you show your ID to a sex offender?”
The latest sign mockup was January 21, 2011 – for the trial of even more rape charges for Tommy. The original picture was taken June 6, 2009:
Thanks for reading, and I think Tom will be found guilty anywhere in the USA. Hope he’s enjoying the stay in prison.
Pollacci Defense Says He Has A Reputation
She also noted a comment by a Monterey County judge, who stated, “Pollacci has a reputation that is well-known, long-lasting and enduring as a rapist in this community.”
The study also included a doctored photo of a sign that pretended to be in front of Ron’s Liquors on Lighthouse Avenue in Pacific Grove that said “Parking only for registered sex offenders.” The photo appeared on local Internet message boards.
pretended to be in front of Ron’s Liquors? The sign was already on the sidewalk in front of the liquor store. That very Ron’s Liquors sidewalk sign that claims the public parking spaces on Lighthouse Avenue are for their customers only.
Lighthouseavenue.com is rank amateur at photoshop. I can insert text but the shadow is over my head.
Here’s the originals:

Holiday Street Spam
Ads nailed to utility poles, usually seven feet high.
Not sure, but I think this is more than littering the landscape, might even be chargeable as a felony for damage to the utility pole, PC593.
Fisherman’s Wharf Cracks Down On Signs
Better yet is my idea to legalize them and license them – after all they are advertising on public property.
Officials and restaurant owners hope clearing the thoroughfare will lessen the amount of “chowder barking” — the practice of loudly offering free cups of clam chowder to visitors — on the wharf. The intrusive practices of chowder samplers are a major point of contention among competing wharf restaurant owners and the subject of visitor complaints.
. . . .
A local businessman gave Sabu Shake, who died in 1998, the life-size wooden statue of himself wearing a white cowboy hat and white suit.“It’s been there a long time,” said Bob Massaro, the administrator for the Fisherman’s Wharf Association. “Folks stand beside it and get their picture taken. He was sort of a character, wore a cowboy hat all the time. Just a nice congenial person.”
Tom Gawel, general manager of Rappa’s Seafood Restaurant on the wharf, said he was asked to removed flower pots from the front of his restaurant. He plans to comply.
Pedestrian Safety Still A Concern
I have been known to stop and move those sidewalk graffiti signs OUT of the way when they are in the middle of the foot traffic path, such as the curb cuts for handicap access or this Keller Williams sign in the middle of the sidewalk.
Now if they can get those bistros that expand out onto the sidewalk to raise the umbrellas so I don’t have to duck. . .
In their efforts to make Pacific Grove a safer place to walk, five members of the Traffic Safety Commission formed a subcommittee to focus on the issue of pedestrian safety improvements. These include sidewalks, crosswalks and traffic signals.
Slow Down On Lighthouse Avenue
Remember when there was more common courtesy in downtown P.G? Now with tourists unfamiliar with the 15 MPH limit, diagonal parking and crosswalks we need more signs.

The Most Sustainable P.G. Thing Is Going Out Of Business Signs
What a great example of recycling. These businesses would be awarded something for their ‘green’ efforts, if they were not shut down.
First saw the signs at Hallmark.
Then First Noel
Now they area in use at Wooden Nickel in a closing gala.
I don’t know anyone that ever spent money at Wooden Nickel. It looked like another store full of phony country charm. Speaking of phony charm, the charm’s the same, but the name is new over at Country Attic, now to be known as Nancy’s Attic.
The Most Sustainable P.G. Thing Is Going Out Of Business Signs
Oh, Where Does The Axe Fall?
Closing the city’s library and museum, trimming office hours and cutting police, fire and public works positions are among the hard financial choices before the Pacific Grove City Council.
The council will meet Wednesday to begin discussing how to balance its budget in the coming year.
“Now we’re at crunch time,” said Mayor Dan Cort.
· Eliminating general fund support for the city library and Museum of Natural History, which would save $250,000 for the remainder of this fiscal year and $1.2 million in fiscal 2008-09. Museum donations have fallen to an estimated $5,000, down from a projected $60,000. Library programs brought in about $39,000 in fees, purchases, fines and other revenue.
· Closing City Hall on alternate Fridays, with a 10 percent employee pay cut, saving $85,000 this fiscal year and $350,000 next fiscal year.
· Reducing fire service, with three options ranging from annual cutbacks of $95,000 to $245,000.
· Reducing police service, with three options ranging from annual cutbacks of $97,000 to $353,000.
· Reducing the public works staff, with three options ranging from annual cutbacks of $122,000 to $410,000.
· Continuing to defer maintenance of city streets and facilities, responding only to immediately needed repairs; and reducing the frequency of parks mowing, trimming and similar work.
· Eliminating salaries for City Council members, saving $10,000 this fiscal year and $39,000 next year.
· Cutting managerial and staff positions in other departments.
Making all the cuts would reduce the city’s costs by $3.1 million.
Here’s a few ideas:
The city can sell bumper stickers “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted Yes”.
Axe funding for the Chamber’Ocommerce. Make them earn their funding and see if they work harder. Last TV pitch I heard from them was for a travel agency and a web advertising firm. Like that REALLY draws commerce to PG.
That tourist center $100K? Forget it.
Go back and re-visit the property transfer tax – hit the very turkeys that have helped ruin the family setting of the town.
Charge for ‘sign permits’ – $100 a month for open houses and other sidewalk graffiti.
Charge businesses that use the sidewalks as extensions of the store. That’s public property they are serving meals on . . .
Farm out parking enforcement to Monterey. They take no prisoners (or abandoned VWs).
Trim the brass at the PD and FD. Put more in uniform and on the street. Or think about joining forces with the peninsula.
Sewers? Charge the businesses that burden in the system more than the residents.
