Escape Room 831 invites you to channel your inner criminal and rob a bank! Here at 599 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey, we're located in a former bank building with an old bank vault, so what better place to see if you can put your criminal tendencies to a completely legal use?

The scenario: it's Employee Appreciation Day at the bank...the perfect day to commit grand larceny. Your mission is simple: break in, steal the cash, and get out. But your tunnel has collapsed and the team leader is stuck outside. You'll have to get into the vault and steal as much loot as possible before the employees return. And that's not so simple.

Rababank at Escape Room 831 presents 2-6 guests at a time with a series of analog and digital puzzles to solve in 1 hour. With an exciting story, lighting and sound effects, a real bank vault, and an experienced escape room guide, it's a blast. Book your visit online today.

The Lighthouse District's annual Movie in the Park on Saturday, September 16, a screening of the surf classic "North Shore," drew a wonderful crowd of people of all ages and had a great community atmosphere. A fun time was had by all! See the photos here.

We want to thank everyone who joined us for a movie night under the stars and helped make it such a good time. Thanks also to our stalwart volunteers who set up and took down the equipment and the 13 businesses along Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey who chipped in to sponsor the event and keep it free for the community. Please stop by and thank them if you have a chance.

Calling all golfers! InSight Eyewear offers Shamir Golf lenses. This is a Freeform lens designed to ensure that you experience your perfect golf game.

Unlike standard progressive lenses, the three vision zones in the lens are specifically tailored to the needs of golfers to maximize their viewing: the scorecard in your hand, the ball at your feet, and the green in the distance. (The secret is in the peripheral vision.) Shamir Golf provides sharp focus without distortion in these crucial areas.

Visit InSight Eyewear at 490 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey for more information.

Epicenter Cycling invites you to bring in your old bike helmet now through September 30, 2023, and we'll give you $20 off a brand new one here. Epicenter has a wide range of helmets to choose from. Visit us at 230 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey and mention the special code at the bottom of this page to receive your discount. (Limit one per customer; no cash value.)

When it comes to keeping your noggin safe, it's important to wear a helmet designed specifically for the type of cycling you enjoy. For example, mountain biking options range from half dome styles to full face for optimum protection; road cycling helmets boast an aerodynamic, well-ventilated design.

Helmets should be replaced every 3-5 years, or immediately after a crash (whether you see cracks in it or not). Proper fit and regular helmet maintenance are also key to your safety as well.
