Walking through Seaside yesterday, I noticed a couple of things.
1) there is recently-placed Airstream trailer parked in the former location of the little sushi place. Anyone know what is going in there?

2) all of the grass at the amphitheater looks dead. What happened? :idontno:

1) New smoothie shop going in the Airstream (and raw foods, maybe??) Email me if you want to know WHO is opening it.

2) Have been to Seaside several times in the last 2 weeks and it's been incredibly busy every time I've gone. Dead grass is probably from all the foot traffic - this seemed to be a very busy Spring Break in Seaside :clap:

Frostbites?

That is strange about the grass...do you remember it happening before?

Oh, that must be Jen's Juice Bar. That's great! I knew she was looking to be on 30A, but didn't know she got the premO location.

Are they going to have wheat grass juice. It was a big hit on the Celebrity Apprentice. ;-)

I've seen a lot of activities on the Seaside grass and usually it shows very little if any damage. My guess would be ....1) Irrigation is broken. 2) concerving water......3) or killing it intentionally for another purpose.

Seaside is usually on top of aesthetics, so I bet there is a method to the madness.

They could also be in the time between when the overseeded winter grass is dying off, and the stuff that comes up for the summer is still a bit dormant.

Might be dormant...but IMO probably not. Local grass is green, my yard is green (but covered in oak leaves) and I don't have irrigation.

I'm having a hard time determining which of these posts answer #1 and which answer #2. They all seem to be about grass...?! :blink:

I would think the dead grass could be due to massive flooding in February during the days of the monsoon rain. Basically that area was under water for days. Then as Jill said you had massive foot traffic on it during Easter week.

Also please everyone if driving through Seaside be careful of bikers.

My daughter's manager was hit by a car last week and has a fractured leg. Prayers for a complete recovery, she is young with 2 kids.

Yikes...thats terrible! I hope that bikers are careful of cars too...... not saying your daughters manager did this, but people on vacation think they have the right-of-way in Seaside. They think it is yuppie Disney and walk in the street and get pizzed that you almost hit them. I had a man push a baby stroller with a baby in it, right out in front of me and I almost hit it! And boy...was he mad AT ME!!!! Not even at a crosswalk or the 3 way stop. Sorry, I had to vent this.....Seaside has an obligation to it's guests to forwarn people about the COUNTY ROAD that runs thru Seaside. I stop for people most of the time and am courteous.....but it is extremely dangerous and crowded and an absolute free for all at times.

Went by there this morning and my husband's diagnosis was that the grass had been cut very short and will return green as it grows.

how so? most towns/resorts have a main street running through them. and they pretty much have know about it as it's the only way in or out.

Ah...they scalped it. That 'splains it. Very common this time of year.
