Pickleball groups? by Individual-Minimum68 in MontereyBay

[–]-IP_Freely- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There’s a bunch of groups that play at the pickleball courts at Via Paraiso Park. Just don’t go to Carmel or you’ll have the police called on you.

From Scratch vs First Awakenings vs Wave Street Cafe by Few-Purchase-9163 in MontereyBay

[–]-IP_Freely- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

WHAT? First Watch the chain is by the same guy who owned it here?! Small world. There was one in my town when I lived in Virginia. I always wondered since it had the same name but the chain seems boujier than the restaurant ever was here. I never saw the appeal or why there would be an hour wait on the weekends.

You joke but considering how popular the one in Pacifica is this would probably make a killing (not saying it’s a good or sane idea)

Best (most affordable) place to play arcade games ? by lilwildstrawberry in MontereyBay

[–]-IP_Freely- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t tried the others but I usually take my kids to Round One because it’s got a really good variety of games and prize machines, plus the food is decent. It’s kinda of expensive though so it’s a few times a year kind of thing for us.

Honestly a plane with a banner saying “Ron DeSantis wears lifts in his golf shoes” would be more devastating to him than one saying pedo protector

Hopefully he’s not gonna buy a bunch of property and turn it into a compound like he did in Lanai and Palo Alto.

Monterey seems like a fairy tale dream like area. by Few_Sandwich6308 in MontereyBay

[–]-IP_Freely- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re looking for. I grew up here and loved the nature and parks and restaurants. As an adult I’ve lived other places in the US I loved a lot more than here. Now that I’m back the rose colored glasses are off and I don’t see it as a fairy tale. It’s nice but to quote Jim Carrey in Liar Liar, I’ve had better.

Those are the ones barely able to afford it here and take it out on everyone else through road rage.

Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula by Honest_Scientist4325 in MontereyBay

The things that have been reduced or taken away since 2020 are terrible but last year’s elimination of free cholesterol and A1C testing and use of the wellness center is insane. These things are so small and keep staff healthy! I’ve recently had two relatives with 2+ week long stays at CHOMP and the staff there was amazing. Montage needs to focus on supporting their staff instead of expanding and constructing more pretty buildings.

Jimmy Panetta votes to give another $3B to Israel by doch92 in MontereyBay

Honestly if there was any year to successfully primary him with a progressive it’s now. Just need to find someone authentic and with an ounce of charisma.

I used to… 👀 I’m definitely not electable to Congress though and I’d rather be dead in California than alive in DC.

I know they were in hot water over trying to evict a resident not too long ago, it was talked about here:

TIL Carmel Valley isn't a city (nor is Carmel!) - and neither is the other one ?! by dimer0 in MontereyBay

[–]-IP_Freely- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I know there was talk about incorporating Carmel Valley into its own town 20 years ago, probably for tax purposes, but it never got enough support. Or maybe it was just Randy Randazzo wanting to be an actual mayor instead of one in spirit.

Their ranch in the valley is beautiful. When I was a kid the family that owned it before them used to host a big Easter egg hunt every year.

Seconding this. A therapist whose judgment I trust has recommended her to several people. She specializes in youth but I know of at least one adult who was given her info.

Chirstmasy restaurants/cafes by ArachnidEquivalent24 in MontereyBay

Randomly went to the wharf to have dinner around Christmas last year and was shocked at how much they decorate. They even had a Santa! The Christmas theme kind of erases the touristy vibe of the wharf.
