Lighthouse Avenue

Used to be you could drive into Pebble and park on the polo grounds or brave the soggy lots to park, or reward the young capitalists that ran private parking lots in their parents' driveways. These days they keep most of the spectators' cars out of the forest and make you ride buses into the event.

Keep driving past the Fort Ord exits by Kohls & Best Buy. Keep going after MPC, land in Monterey or Cannery Row. If you are staying in P.G. head over to Cannery Row. You will be closer to some welcome services when you get back from crawling the course.

Best one looks to be the Cannery Row shuttle. $10 for rides from Cannery Row parking garages to and from Pebble. $7 to park the car in the garage right next to the bus stop.

Next is the same deal in Downtown Monterey. Park in the garages on Tyler street and ride to Pebble.

Bad deal is the Pacific Grove Chamber Of Commerce. $15 to board a bus at the Mvsevm. There is no parking near the stop, you have to compete with locals to park in their neighborhood. When you return, you will be in the ghost town that is Pacific Grove.

Wonder why they kept on opening & closing restaurants and didn't just get jobs? The collective food talent looks great. Management skills look pathétique.

After the news began to question the the Richards' stories of woe the whole thing goes aigre The news rack for the Pine Cone in front of the post office was vandalized the day the paper came out.

But to dispel doubt among skeptics who believe the Richards have feigned cancer to gain sympathy, Christine said she would provide medical records right away to prove that her husband and son had genuine illnesses.

On Tuesday, however, she said she needed another week to come up with the documents. And on Thursday, restaurant owner Nancy Lewis left a stern voicemail message:

“I want this whole harassment to stop,” Lewis said. “We are not going to give anymore interviews or information, and if anything more of this comes of this harassment and this National Enquirer point of view, then I’ll get my lawyer involved. This is it, Kelly. Stop it.”.
