What’s Happening In Our Neighborhood

Practice News
Written By The Mattox Group

Are you often wondering what’s going on in town?

Perhaps you’re seeking understanding of the latest cause of perpetual traffic on Highway 68?

Considering options for date night?

For years I’ve bemoaned the lack of a unified community calendar, keeping us up to date on all the goings on and interesting events in our little bit of paradise. I’ve found myself griping, “how can we live so close to Silicon Valley and yet cannot seem to tell folks what’s actually going on around town?!?!”

Well, it turns out, for about two years now, our local “free” weekly newspaper has been doing just that. I feel like it’s the best kept secret in town!

Monterey County Now has a digital community calendar. Local organizations, businesses, and individuals can upload their events to the calendar, and at a glance you too can be highly informed as to the hot happening events in your neighborhood, and around the region. It’s really quite amazing, and I cannot believe I didn’t know about this before.

Check it out, upload your events, and stay connected with our community. Take a step away from the screens, and engage with your neighbors. It’s a real old-fashioned treat, scaled up for this modern age.
