Hope the tourists at Borgs or the Caribbean get to sleep early!

Don’t Count On Sleeping In – It’s Another Marathon On Sunday Morning
The noisy runners will be slogging along Ocean View at 7am, November 9. It’s not in Big Sur, its not an entire marathon – it’s over quick, so it’s the Not Big Sur Half Fast Marathon..
The sixth annual presentation of the Big Sur Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, Nov. 9, drawing both elite runners and recreational enthusiasts to compete in a variety of running and walking events.
Set along the scenic Monterey Bay coastline, the 13.1 mile race travels a gently rolling loop course from historic downtown Monterey through Cannery Row, along the Pacific Grove coastline and back to the start.
Don’t Count On Sleeping In Sunday – Time For The Not Big Sur Half-Fast Marathon
It’s the Rats To Riches car shows. Too bad there was no support from the Chamber Of Commerce, the city leaders and the few shops that are actually open when the show blocked the street. Don’t think they will be back, they are not haughty enough to be allowed in P.G.
“The venues and the shops that were open were great,” said Page. “We loved going to the show and then going to the restaurants. We had one PG business tell us they were one cheeseburger away from closing for good until we showed up. And then it was standing room only.”
Page said the club wanted to extend the show’s scope, but got no local support for the idea. “We got lots of promises, but no action” from the Chamber of Commerce. “A small hot-rod display like this is not static. It’s more of a lifestyle with music, things to do for kids, interaction with the vehicles, raffle prizes, etc. More of a festival than a gallery,” he said.
Ha ha, more of a festival than a gallery. Look around at all the damn elitist art galleries that are open about 20 hours a week . .
City council approved it. It’s not too bad for the average Pacific Grove commuter, but what’s to gain by making one of the 3 lanes an HOV lane. Taking out two lanes of parking and not replacing it, I can see why business people are against the one-way.
The age old suggestions of opening up Hawthorne is absent, as is widening Holman Highway.
Converting Lighthouse Avenue from four-lane, two-way traffic to three-lane, one-way southbound traffic between David Avenue and Private Bolio Road. The right lane would be reserved for buses, carpools and other high-occupancy passenger vehicles.
· Keeping Foam Street one-way northbound, but eliminating parking on the east, or ocean side, to provide three lanes of traffic rather than the current two lanes. Parking would have to be replaced, Deal said.
· Adding a southbound right-turn lane at Private Bolio Road to accommodate cars entering the Presidio of Monterey.
· Restoring two-way traffic on Dickman Avenue.
· Widening David Avenue at Lighthouse to provide additional turn lanes from Foam to David.
· Making Hoffman Avenue one-way westbound between Foam and Lighthouse to accommodate vehicles leaving the Cannery Row parking garage.
Members of the public who spoke at the meeting generally supported Alternative 6, with its bus lane. But two spokesmen for area businesses, John Narigi of the New Monterey and Old
Monterey business associations and Frank Donangelo of the Cannery Row Co. and Foursome Development, said it would be more practical to widen Lighthouse and keep it two-way.
