Pacific Grove, in the pine forests on the westernmost tip of Monterey Bay, is a magnet for wildlife, tourists, and scientists. Site of the first operational lighthouse in California and the first marine laboratory on the Pacific Coast, its beaches attracted camp meetings in the 19th century. Rows of tent housing that lined the original streets grew into charming neighborhoods of seaside cottages, lit annually by the Feast of Lanterns since 1905. Botanical and biological splendor attracted scientists like Edward Flanders Ricketts, made famous by his friend and one-time Pacific Grove resident John Steinbeck. Each year hundreds of groups use its famous conference center, Asilomar, and each fall tens of thousands of Monarch butterflies make a 2,500-mile journey to hang from the pines in great clusters of wafting wings.

Facing the radiant Monterey Bay, anchored proudly between Pacific Grove's downtown and famed Lovers Point beach, is the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History. The historic museum was founded in 1883 to house specimens collected by the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle in the days when horse-drawn carriages still meandered down a dirt road known today as Lighthouse Avenue. What started as a small octagonal building in what is now known as Jewell Park soon became a more impressive edifice, thanks largely to the help of community members like Mary Norton, the museum's first curator, and Lucie Chase, who donated to the construction of a new building in 1932. Others, including noted collector and taxidermist Rollo Beck and scientist Ed Ricketts, friend of author and Pacific Grove resident John Steinbeck, donated amazing specimens that remain on display.

Life in Pacific Grove: Book 2 makes deeper connections to our community through special essays by local authors, in areas of their own interests--plus personal stories. With these stories, the "Butterfly Effect" continues to transform us, and as the monarchs make part of their transformation in our Butterfly Sanctuary, and as we write and share our stories with each other, we all become something more beautiful than before. I hope you enjoy what we have put together--for you and for the generations to come. I'm a firm believer in the power of story to change our lives, the lives of people around us, and those of future generations. Thank you all for your story contributions to the Pacific Grove Books and to our beloved City of Pacific Grove, Butterfly Town U.S.A. - Patricia Hamilton, 2018 Life In Pacific Grove, California, Book 2 CONTENTS "The Butterfly Effect" Revisited - Patricia Hamilton vii Section 1- SPANNING GENERATIONS 1 With our quaint Victorians and a major annual event called "Good Old Days," Pacific Grove is obviously a town with one foot planted firmly in the past. But we Pagrovians have always had the other foot just as firmly anchored in the now, facing the future. Explore a few of our beloved local traditions and institutions: the library, Feast of Lanterns, the real person behind Robert Down Elementary School, the night Paris came to P.G., and more. Section 2 - THOSE HIPPIE TRIPPY 1970s 62 Tune in, turn on and go trippin' for a heady look at the 1970s, when Pacific Grove boasted the largest collection of hippies between San Francisco and Los Angeles. From hootenannies to the Monterey International Pop Music Festival to the early days of Tillie Gort's, it's a groove, Daddy-o! Section 3 - A WRITER'S DREAM TOWN 108 Beautiful scenery to tempt the muse ... a good, dependable local bookstore and library ... a lively coffee house scene ... kindred spirits for support and encouragement ... and a rich literary tradition. When it comes to meeting the needs of a writer, Pacific Grove is the ideal haven. Section 4 - DEEPER CONNECTIONS AROUND TOWN 160 Where else but Pacific Grove could you find a falconer on the city payroll, or a life-size sculpture of a gray whale, or a business with a name that translates to "textile zoo"? All this and more to interest and intrigue you as we take a stroll around town. Section 5 - ADVENTURES ON MONTEREY BAY 248 From a calm day on the rocky shores at Perkins Park to the panic on a stranded boat at the mouth of the bay, explore sea life in the depths of the Great Canyon, experience a life or death encounter with a sea lion, and cook up the tastiest fish you'll ever eat. Section 6 - spirits in motion 268 Feeding the soul, nurturing the body--Pagrovians find a balanced spiritual life through our many houses of worship, mindfulness of our origins, and a gentle and ancient movement.
