Epic roving station from #Salinas Police who are distributing paletas at #Ciclovia

Cool bikes at #Ciclovia. Serious question: how do they get on and off?

Littlest little kids performing at #ciclovia #salinas today.

I came out for a tour a couple weeks ago but what a joy to see it now full of life and kid energy.

Amazing grand opening celebration of Ensen Community Park today. Congrats to the City of Salinas and @bigsurlandtrust.org for making this happen.

And here’s some of the dancers- hula is seriously athletic.

In the current issue of @montereycountynow.com you can read by feature story about the Hi’ilani ‘O Ke Kai hula group. Instructor Marleen Bush is a force. Here she is playing ipu heke (double gourd) at a recent class.

The city of Seaside’s parks are a thing of beauty, thanks largely to the coordinated efforts of Friends of Seaside Parks. (Thank you all!) I just walked up to the take-what-you-need community garden at Havana-Soliz Park for a handful of mint, so lovely.

Here at the Monterey #NoKings protest where I estimate there are at least 2,000 people to start off.

Collaborative artwork in process on display tonight at Open Ground Studios’ 12th anniversary party, featuring words banned by the current leadership of the USA. It will be shared at the #nokings protest in Monterey on Saturday.

One fun tradition at @montereycountynow.com is a trade with @everyonesharvest.bsky.social that means a bounty of produced delivered to our office every Thursday in summer, coinciding with the Seaside farmers market.
