A First Hand Second Chance Experience by John Ehab
Pacific Grove is a collector’s gold mine full of thrift stores, consignment stores and antique shops. It is a certain fascination for me to lurk around the thrift stores for sources of inspiration that can be found among the hidden treasures. Naturally, when an additional thrift store opened up on the corner of Eardley and Central Avenues, I went to take a look. At Second Chance, I quickly got acquainted with the team running the store, who I learned are all a part of a rehabilitation program. They were a xsolid group of men from various age groups (recently a female program has joined the team). I liked their bright spirits and the conversations we had. One would always ask me questions about ancient Egypt— “What source of light do you think the Pharos used to paint their underground-dark corridor ceilings?” Although I’m Egyptian I probably don’t know as much as he does simply from watching documentaries! These shopping experiences were so enjoyable that I was encouraged to commit one day a week to volunteering at the store.
At the time I didn’t have a job, and I looked forward to my Fridays at Second Chance. Once I found a job I had to give up my volunteer schedule at the store, but I continue to pop in every so often to see my old friends and check out the merchandise. Once in a while, I get a chance to converse with the team and learn a little about their lives. I like it when I bump into them in different parts of the city and discover that they have graduated from the program and found opportunities elsewhere. Second Chance Thrift Store, part of The Bridge Ministry, takes donated merchandise and restores it to usefulness in the hands of its new owner. The staff is made up of volunteers, employees, and Bridge residents. The Bridge Restoration Ministry Recovery Program is a 12-month residence program designed to help men and women with substance abuse problems. Writer, John Ehab has worked as a journalist reporting from Cairo, Beirut, Gaza, Syria and Sudan over the last ten years. John and his family moved to Pacific Grove in 2012.

We love the fact it says Pacific Grove right on the bottle! Butch Adams of Kailee Creamery, makes organic ice cream in the American Tin Cannery with flavors like Ginger Honey, Lemon Pie, and his Famous Caramel. He also serves a mean root beer float (made with Sparky’s Root Beer). Joe Rombi now has his famous sauces and sides from la piccola casa available for home kitchens. Red House Cafe Chef, Chris D’Amelio has a real hit on his plate with his Signature Oatmeal-ApricotPecan Cookies, which are beautifully packaged for gift giving.

Sidewalk Dining Cover Story
Its chilly outside, even a little misty. Yet, that hasn’t stopped people from taking advantage of the new outdoor dining areas popping up around Pacific Grove. We see locals, eating pizza, talk with passersby, while their dog has laid comfortably under their table. These little gathering places have added a big dose of atmosphere to the Historic Downtown and Central Avenue business districts. The individuality of each business also shines through in the design of their outdoor spaces. While Favaloro’s gated patio invokes visions of the little cafes on the Italian Riviera, Happy Girl Kitchen’s new parklet is an expression of their environmental responsibility and all-natural sensibilities. “The new outdoor space has attracted people to the restaurant. In fact, for a visitor, it may be the first reason the decision is made to eat here,” confirms Marie Favaloro, one of the first to be invited by the city to explore this concept with her restaurant Favoloro’s Big Night Bistro, “Both locals and visitors
enjoy the interaction with the street activity and weather doesn’t seem to discourage them. I’m very pleased the city has moved forward to make our downtown area more community friendly.”
It’s all about the community. Todd & Jordan Champagne, owners of Happy Girl Kitchen say, “It’s all about the community.” In fact, their parklet (made entirely of recycled materials) was paid for by donations from the community through a brilliant KickStarter campaign, and bares the names of the contributors on its walls. As of this writing, we have spotted a half-dozen businesses taking advantage of this new opportunity and “dressing up” their entry ways with these inviting gathering places. With low impact, safety measured designs, these additions will provide a “welcome mat” inviting us back out into the community to communicate with our neighbors and remind ourselves of how very special our little town is.

Fashion Comes Full Circle with Golnesa Payan’s Unique Eye For Redesign
Everyone has that pair of jeans they just can’t part with, some even have their mother’s fur in the back of the closet. Or how about that wedding dress from the 1980’s? You can’t throw it out! What do you do with these “treasures” when they don’t fit or are no longer in fashion? Refashion them! With the help of Golnesa and Pari your old duds can be fresh and new again! These talented ladies are co-owners of Pari’s Boutique and Alterations, where the mother/daughter team have created an outlet for their talents. At Pari’s, you’ll find gently worn labels such as St. John and Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as fine jewelry and handbags. Mixed in with unique vintage finds are refashioned one-of-a-kind pieces designed by Golnesa herself.
What started as a passion for designing dance wear, blossomed when she went into partnership with her mother and expanded Pari’s alterations business to included vintage and designer resale. Golnesa has since been invited to raid wealthy residents’ closets and mark their wares for resale. She has also become quite the talented stylist, helping women, young and not so young, edit their closets for the 21st Century and beyond. For this story Golnesa shows us the transformation of an outdated wedding dress into her modern masterpiece with removable train. For more information on how you can take advantage of her talents stop by Pari’s Boutique at 510 Lighthouse Avenue, #4, Pacific Grove. Discover Pacific Grove 51

Pilfering of Steinbeck’s Name? Not in Pacific Grove by Steve Hauk
Nancy and Steve Hauk own Hauk Fine Arts, specializing in Early and Contemporary California artists. Steve writes for the Steinbeck Review and steinbecknow.com, and is working on a book of stories based on Steinbeck’s life called ``Almost True Stories from a Writer’s Life. In the fall of 1998, after co-curating the inaugural art exhibition at the National Steinbeck Center, I got an interesting phone call at our gallery in Pacific Grove. “This is Elaine Anderson Steinbeck calling from New York,’’ said a woman in a soft Southwestern accent, ``Would you do me a favor, please, Mr. Hauk? Would you look in a telephone book and tell me how many times you see my late husband John Steinbeck’s name connected to a business?’’ I found some half dozen businesses leading with the Steinbeck name. There was a dry cleaner, as I recall, a used car lot, even a dog kennel. I mentioned no business in Pacific Grove had appropriated the famous Steinbeck name and that seemed to please Mrs. Steinbeck. What she did with this information, I’m not sure. Out of curiosity, I checked the 2014 telephone book and there were, again, a half dozen businesses beginning with Steinbeck,
including, somewhat appropriately for a writer of agricultural labor issues, a produce market, but, again, none in Pacific Grove. In fact, it is curious as to how few references there are noting his time in this city—a place that clearly inspired him. Elaine Steinbeck, who was married to John from 1950 until until his death in 1968, spent time with John in the family’s Pacific Grove cottage and it was quite enough for her that he wrote some of his finest work in this town and that cottage, including ``Of Mice and Men.’’ Mrs. Steinbeck, was an actress and later made a name for herself as one of the first women to become a successful stage manager, a field dominated by men. Mrs. Steinbeck became the executor and promoter of his work. She died in 2003 at the age of 88. Discover Pacific Grove 63
