Street Talk 09.22.11 (asked @ Peppers Mexicali Cafe in Pacific Grove.)

What would be a good symbol for P.G. besides the monarch?

Follow-up: If you could be any insect, what would you be?


ZOE FILBIN | Waitress | Monterey


A: A walker with wedding bells. People always say, “You’re either a newlywed or nearly dead” if you live there. 


On the Dots: I’d be a ladybug because it’s the only insect that doesn’t freak me out. People think they’re friendly.


JOSH ROBERTSON | Retired | Pacific Grove


A: A deer. There are more than monarchs and they live here year round. Tourists love ’em and locals wake up to them in the yard. 


Cellblock Sermon: I’d be a praying mantis. Nobody messes with them. They’re stone – cold killers.


JANET BRYAN | Manager | Pacific Grove


A: A hairy hippie named Herb holding a sign that says, “Don’t Drive 15 mph on Lighthouse!”


Disturbing Trend: Dragonfly. Full of color and graceful when they fly.
