HALF MOON BAY BREWING COMPANY PRESENTS
BREWS AND VIEWS ON FEBRUARY 2
“The Power of Deliberative Polling”
Free public forum welcomes key organizers of the What’s Next California project, James Fishkin and Zabrae Valentine, with moderator Lenny Mendonca, Director of McKinsey and Company
What:
What’s Next California? — the first state-wide deliberative poll in California — was conducted in 2011 in an effort inform citizens about key public issues using television and public opinion polls in a new and constructive way. This poll covered four basic areas: the initiative process, the Legislature, state/local relations and tax/fiscal issues. Thirty proposals were deliberated by a statewide scientific sample of 412 participants and their conclusions offered many surprises. A panel including key organizers of the project — James Fishkin of the Center for Deliberative Democracy at Stanford University and Zabrae Valentine of California Forward with moderator Lenny Mendonca Director, McKinsey & Company — will discuss the project process and findings.
Deliberative Polling®, developed by Dr. Fishkin, is a practice of public consultation that employs random samples of the citizenry to explore how opinions would change if they were more informed.
When:
Thursday, February 2, 2012
6 to 8 p.m.
Where:
Maverick’s Event Center
107 Broadway Ave.
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019
Cost: Admission and snacks are complimentary. Beer, wine, and other beverages will be available for sale at the event. Ten percent of the proceeds from all dinner sales at Half Moon Bay Brewing Company for this event will be donated to the Cabrillo Education Foundation.

Why doesn’t someone ask the psychic on Main Street about what businesses would be great investments for downtown?
Speaking to Jeffs’ point of having “not enough stores and not the right stores” downtown, I’d have to agree. I think this thread has already been covered here on Coastsider a few years back. I believe the request was made for more stores that support locals’ needs, so that locals will support the stores, and to cut back on the tourist-type stores. I believe the term “Carmelization” was often tossed about in that thread with heavy emphasis that we do not need any corporate-chain stores.
It would be nice to have along Main Street:
A dry cleaner, an ice cream shop, a great hamburger place (I’d been enjoying Cetrella’s fabulous, but pricey, $13 burger, but even they’ve closed), a dvd rental store, a cheap but tasty taqueria, a pharmacy, and even, a store that sells the right-sized vacuum filters. :)
I know there are places elsewhere coastside that take care of some of these requests, but I’m talking just Main Street here.
The shops remaining on Main Street do work for locals, (aka: “the right stores”), and I truly hope they all survive this stretch we’re facing. I find it completely possible to frequent these locally-owned businesses and not feel any need to drive over the hill or into Santa Cruz - except for those darn vacuum filters.

Seems like some of the other shopping areas in HMB outside Main St have more practical stores for locals.
Living in Montara, going to Pacifica was always more convenient than HMB. Plus, when the slide closed, I grew to hate that drive down 1 and over 92 to reach my job in SF.
Anyways, I now like going to HMB simply because New Leaf opened. The quality and selection of their produce, and other food items, is great. I have tied my trips to HMB to include other places I frequent now, too (banking, library).
