Family Suing Pebble Beach Over Missing Relative

Posted on by

. . the body was never recovered. Alien abduction or ?

At about 1:30 p.m., the Dengs paid the $12.25 entrance fee to Pebble Beach and eventually made their way to the China Rock lookout area along 17 Mile Drive.
The complaint claims Deng and his family got out of the car and “stood on the dirt and grassy area near the rocks to view the ocean.”

“When Xue Deng turned around, his father was gone,” the lawsuit says. When the family “looked out to the ocean, they saw Guoqiang Deng struggling in the water as he was swept away by the waves. ” Because of the “treacherous waters,” first responders used a drone and helicopter to search for the elderly man, but they did not find him, the suit says. “To date, Guoqiang Deng’s body has not been recovered, and he is presumed dead.”

New ATT Golf Format Equals Less Commerce

Duh. The celebrities draw more crowds than people chasing white balls.

Welcome To Bings Pro Am

This year, the ATT Pro-Am did not boost local businesses as much as usual. Many owners attributed the decline to the absence of celebrities.

“Everybody would go out to see celebrities, Bill Murray, maybe you’ll catch your favorite actor or football player, Tom Brady but this year it really wasn’t like that and the vibe has changed a lot,” said John Culcasi, owner of Rosine’s.

The PGA Tour changed the ATT format last year and continued with it this year, making it an elevated event that attracted the world’s best golfers but no celebrities.

Some business owners said the lack of celebrities translated to a different crowd.

“The past two years it’s been a different crowd a lot more is golf-centered people they kind of go back to their hotels and they go out there early they don’t really go out like how it used to be,” said Culcasi.

How does one See Monterey when they are seeing impaired?

As part of the rebranding, the tagline that has been used for more than 10 years, “Grab Life by the Moments,” is giving way to a new brand platform, “Find Your Way Here,” which is said to be more than a tagline, as it is an open invitation to not only travel to Monterey County but to seek connectivity within, according to the organization.

The organization hopes to build upon the momentum of last year’s Long Term Strategic Plan, meant to guide the destination and tourism economy into the future. The new 2023-24 Business Plan continues the ongoing effort to drive the potential growth of $2.2 billion in incremental visitor spending over the next decade, said See Monterey.

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. “

Tourist Misinformation

Moe thinks his Tourist Misinformation Center is the ONLY local source of information needed. Fleece the tourists. Ask where can you get a Crockerburger.

The Pacific Grove Tourist Information Center is throwing its doors open to guests once again after being closed for about 15 months due to the pandemic.

“Since closing, we learned that it is critical to businesses in the 2-mile radius” of the tourist information center, said Moe Ammar, Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce president. “It is the only local source of tourist information needed by the visitors to the area.”

Be all that, with a spokesdog.

From beginning to end of the video, the pudgy little canine would pop in one shop, look around, and head out to sniff out his next adventure. There is a barbershop scene, and another as he sits critically in a golf cart commenting on a swing. In the end, he is sitting contentedly watching the sun set over the ocean waves.

One of the goals of the $6,000 video — shot by a KION crew — is to distinguish Pacific Grove as its own destination point.

Substainable Tourism Will Save Us!

Councilwoman Cynthia Garfield is advocating for the sustainable tourism effort to be included among city’s key goals for 2019, saying that it would benefit both the city and businesses to have visitors stay longer.

Garfield provided of an example of how to manage crowds along the shore by ensuring a measured flux of tourists.

“Some of the things we are exploring is paid parking along the coast,” she said. “The Coastal Commission doesn’t like paid parking but we are looking at it in an unobtrusive way.”

Trying to figure out what substainable tourism is. We already have all the human waste/agricultural runoff water for them. Next up will be mandatory house sharing, where residents must host visitors. Manage the crowds along the shores means fencing off and keeping humans out of reach of the shore.

Oh – and parking meters along Ocean View – another tax.
