The one thing I’ve learned about Monterey is, the further you are from Pacific Grove and the closer you are to Seaside, the more flavor there is in the food
"Ultimately it’s a film that poses a question fundamental to #democracy: if we can’t understand a system that governs us, how much power do we actually have?"

We've had some very intense squalls pass over #Monterey #California since early this morning. We had to get up at 5am and close windows to keep water from coming into the house.

Wave Street Studios is great location to bike/walk/scoot to. It’s directly along City of Monterey section of Monterey Bay coastal trail. (Planning to bike there & want to join a bike train? Phone us.) Sorry, skateboarders: "It is unlawful to ride a skateboard on Monterey Coastal Trail between head of Fisherman's Wharf and City limit with Pacific Grove.”—Section 22-14 Monterey City Code.
There’s a radiantly heated bench on patio, providing cozy place to sit if you prefer outdoor seating. Don’t miss Dan & Laurel performing in this extraordinary, beautiful venue.
For those who like alcohol, Wave Street has permit now. https://www.montereycountynow.com/news/local_news/wave-street-studios-is-finally-able-to-expand-its-programming-enabled-by-a-new-type/article_66934ac6-6b16-11ef-8219-2b6e7a78e008.html

I'm energized from reading this (written by @rednikki !) about the work of individuals and communities who did just enough for long enough to help steer things in the right direction, or prevent far worse collapse, even if they didn't live to see the fruit of their work; even if they must have felt very alone.
Monterey Bay today is a stunning marine sanctuary, but a century ago it must have been challenging to see that as anything other than a dream

Ok I think I’ve found my favorite restaurant in Monterey / Seaside..
Everything about Barba Azul makes me happy
I love this video about Monterey. Half of it is at my workplace and about people I know, the other half is about the beautiful coastal trails. I feel so stupid lucky to get to see all of this

We've got a heavy storm with high wind and rain whipping through #Monterey #California right now. I was woken up by some thunder a little bit ago.
Hopefully all of the sea otters are wearing their kelp seatbelts out in the bay 😬😬😬

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the food in Monterey. It doesn’t have the *range* of San Francisco but in some key areas it hits hard.
Great pizza (Pizza My Heart). Fantastic clam chowder (Vivolo’s). Excellent Mediterranean (Petra). Good homey Japanese (Ocean Sushi Deli). Good and simple fresh seafood (Sea Harvest). Vegan baklava (Paprika). Good bakeries (Ad Adstra and Alta).
I haven’t even branched out to Seaside and Carmel yet
Biked to Monterey today, and first stop was Window on the Bay Park. Many community members had gathered, including Monterey County Supervisor Wendy Root Askew and Supervisor-Elect Kate Daniels. We’ll post more photos from our ride today in Autumn Bike Buzz on bikemonterey.org and/or here. For now, here are three favorites from today's community gathering at Window on the Bay.
